French illustrator based in Strasbourg, Salina was recently diagnosed with autism. For years, the young woman had no idea she had this neuro-developmental disorder, except that she was more stressed than average in some situations. For a better understanding of autistic people’s daily lives, the artist decided to draw a comic to explain to the general public the psychological manifestations of autism.

Salina is also on Etsy and Instagram.
