The illustration created for De Morgen, for Tuly Salumu's article on her autism diagnosis, aims to highlight the kaleidoscope of emotions she experienced before and after the diagnosis. The illustration represents her experience with others, the profound self-discovery she underwent, and the condition itself.
" When Tuly Salumu was diagnosed with autism, it felt like a deus ex machina for all the problems in her life. Phew, she thought, her social anxiety and fits of rage were not signs of a bad character, but of a developmental disorder in her head. Five years and many strips of medication later, her diagnosis has changed a lot, but not in the way she expected."
"The world seems to be going completely to shit. While Trump appoints one madman after another, bombs continue to fall on children in Gaza, there is a massive famine in Sudan and meanwhile the earth continues to warm up nicely, we fail to reach decent agreements about it and oh yes, in Belgium we still don't have a government. "
