Veni! Vidi! Autism! and Stories About Us

The Front Cover of Veni! Vidi! Autism!

  • As of a couple years ago, I had generated a lot of content, for my previous blog and for academic papers as well as a number of interviews.
  • With the help of my fellow Disability Mentoring Hall of Fame inductee Jd Michaels, I was able to get myself set up as a publisher, and become a copyrighted author of my book, Veni! Vidi! Autism!
  • Using the same process, Jd and I are publishing a number of other disabled authors as part of the Stories About Us anthology.
  • It is important to note that these stories are not all about disability. Rather, it is the authors who identifies disabled. They remained in absolute control of the works, and make all the profits from them.

Podcasts

Me with the Head of Marvel Joe Quesada
Joe is a friend, and has been a guest on my podcast and my YouTube channel.

  • I interview a wide variety of guests for my podcast, the Autistic Reality Podcast.
  • Guests have so far included politicians, business owners, artists, writers, actors, and major talents and decision-makers in the entertainment fields.
  • Although almost all of the questions are tailor-made to the individual guest on-the-fly, one question is constant. I ask every single guest about disability representation in the entertainment industry, whether it be acting, writing, illustration, or something behind the scenes.

Pop Culture Criticism

Me and Liz Pritchard Speaking at New York Comic Con 2019Liz Pritchard is my protégé. We spoke to approximately two hundred people.

  • I write pop culture articles for a number of outlets, including Flickering Myth and Starburst Magazine.
  • Articles range from reviews to opinion pieces to works on sociology and entertainment. Not all of my pieces are about disability. In fact, most of them are not.
  • I will also be starting a podcast for Flickering Myth, which will include works from the Autistic Reality Podcast.
  • I also travel the country and the Globe giving speeches on the role of disability in general and autism specifically and their representation in entertainment and pop culture.
  • Venues include academic and disability conferences, as well as pop culture events such as comicons.

My Workspace
A seven-foot beanbag sofa with giant pillows set against a wall of memorabilia related to my first book, Without Fear: The First Autistic Superhero. The memorabilia include action figures, original art, copies of the book, a copy of the work it reviews, and photos and autographs of people involved in the work the book reviews, such as Joe Quesada, Charlie Cox, Alex Maleev, and Stan Lee. Above all is a banner promoting both my firm and the book. Also included in the photo are Star Trek badges, my lightsaber, Capability, and a stuffed astronaut Snoopy symbolizing our journey home to the stars, of whose dust we are made.

Holiday Letter from Alec Frazier 2020, By Alec Frazier and Autistic Reality

Dear Santa, Me  with Santa Claus Aha! This year has been quite an adventure! Multiple things have happened on the personal, professional, emotional, mental, and other fronts, but you know what? I’m still here! Me Being the Y in Joy at the 2020 Downtown Silver Spring Holiday Display I am currently living in a hotel in Silver Spring, Maryland, as I wait for my new address to clear up. This has been a fascinating year, and for many reasons. I feel like the virus outbreak and the ensuing quarantine have actually brought my friends, family, and I closer together, and not further apart. Normally, I focus these letters on the members of my biological family. However, this year, I would also like to focus in on the beautiful, wonderful friends who make me shine and thrive so many miles away from my said biological family.

My Coming Out Story, By Alec Frazier and Autistic Reality

My Definition of Pride Marching in the DC Pride Parade Pride is the contentment and wonder that results from the exciting, amazing ability everyone has to be who they truly are. The Body Two Men Kissing My brother and I have been known to tussle. One time when I was about 19 years old, one of these tussles ended with me bleeding out my ear. My mother and I went to the hospital and as I lay in the emergency room, I told her that I was bisexual. She asked what had brought that about, and I said, “Well mom, I saw Troy…” We discussed it further, and I admitted that I had been that way from the get-go. There was a short time of me telling people, none of whom reacted negatively at all. My father was fine with it, my brother was fine with it, my friends were fine with it. Shortly after this time, I had my first sexual encounter with a male, and it was much more fulfilling than the sex I had had with a female earlier. My brother had at one point said, “Come on Alec, we all k

FRIDAY, MAY 27, 2011 How I Got Here: The Road to the 2011 AAPD Summer Internship 2011 AAPD Summer Intern Alec Frazier in Front of the White House My name is Alec Frazier, 24 at the moment, from Ithaca, New York. I am a person with disabilities and I am very proud of that, as I am proud of all facets of my character. On a day-to-day basis I live with Asperger's syndrome, a high functioning form of autism that comes coupled with, in my case, bipolar disorder, ADD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), dysgraphia, digital atonia, and facial atonia among other disorders. When I was young I spoke before politicians, to raise funding for children in special education. My first job however, was in a library. Throughout my career I have balanced interests in library sciences and politics. On a trip to the Massachusetts State House and the historic collections library it contained, I realized that I could mix the two and go for a dream job in archiving. The next few year
