Aurtistic Zine is a DSTL Arts publication focused on acceptance and showcasing the diverse talents of autistic individuals as well as their family members. With this zine we hope to provide a platform that highlights the strengths of the autism community. We want to show the individual as a whole person and not just a missing piece to a puzzle.
Each zine produced will have a specific theme. The current theme, and submission period, can be found in the submissions guidelines below.
Submissions to Aurtistic Zine are FREE and open to Autistic individuals and their immediate family, ages 16 and up, residing in Southern California. Artists whose work is selected for publication will be notified prior to the upcoming zine release date, and will be eligible to receive one (1) free copy of the published zine. Additional copies may be purchased at the zine release party, or online, after the zine release date.
Please read the following submission guidelines before submitting your work for consideration. Any submissions that do not follow our guidelines will not be considered for publication.

Current Theme
Accepting the Diagnosis
We seek visual art, comics, photography, stories, poetry, flash fiction (500 words or less) that express the experiences of the artists and writers. We want to see the creations, and hear the stories from autistic voices and their supporters.
As an individual, what did you experience when you learned you were Autistic? Was it something you embraced, or was it a difficult road to acceptance? As a supportive family member what has your experience been? Where you surprised by the diagnosis, or did you struggle with the label?
