Who are you?
I'm Erika Hammerschmidt, an autistic artist, author, and speaker in Los Angeles.
I have a memoir titled Born on the Wrong Planet ,
a jewelry website called The Heathersmith ,
a webcomic called Abby and Norma ,
a speaking business with my partner Elle,
a science fiction novel called Kea's Flight ,
and a series of short story collections beginning with the book Lonely and Precocious.
Want to reach me? Here are a few ways.

I obsessively love animals, plants, art, miniatures, sparkly things, science fiction, and language.
I live in a polycule of five people, of varying genders and sexualities and levels of romantic involvement with each other (and varying levels of interest in this silly project of mine!)
But all of us have an overwhelming variety of art and writing and engineering projects of our own.
I have lots of past experience with pet birds, including a difficult Amazon parrot named Rain Man, and an exuberant starling named Sirius who could talk, sing like four birds at once, and play the piano.
Sadly, I'm without birds at the moment, but I hope to make them a big part of my life again someday.
I have so many creations that I'm exploding, and I desperately need to share them with the world. Please help!
