My name is Tessa van der Horst and I am a 26 year old autistic artist living in the Netherlands.

I am sharing my life with you because I feel like there is hardly any realistic representation of people on the autism spectrum in the media or online. I have tried for a very long time to fit in, but have finally found out that I don’t have to! It’s so much nicer to just be me.

I am equipped with needle and thread, a camera, a healthy dose of oddness and a never ending thirst to create and share. If my stories or my art were entertaining or taught you anything you didn’t know before, that would make me very happy.

You can follow my adventures here and on the social media that are linked in the menus above.
