The research aims to explore how comics could be utilised, to effectively communicate a serious topic matter: the lived-experience of the high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFA) individual. Most of the literature suggests that in-depth depictions of the HFA individuals’ consciousness are still left largely unexplored within fictional representations. Comics refer to a convergence of creative deliveries, which consists of many different formats. This project exclusively focuses on graphic narratives, which are also colloquially known by the term: graphic novels. In focus, the result of creative synthesis has been delivered in the graphic narrative, titled “Every Head A World” (2023). The project argues that comics introduce a wealth of possibilities in communicating ideas effectively, through the medium’s combination of word and imagery. The creative outcome aims to demonstrate a lived-experience of HFA individuals respectively and empathetically, through the insertion of various lines of research—to address the aims and objectives outlined. Due to the vested motive of depicting human experience, the identified methodology deemed most appropriate, is the qualitative research paradigm phenomenology. Both the pure and heuristic principals of phenomenology have been employed through methods of recorded interviews, surveys, case studies and systematic review of relevant data. An auxiliary framework, also employed throughout this project is practice-led research/inquiry. This is demonstrated through the process of creative synthesis, and thus, the creative result. The nature of practice-led inquiry is noted to be largely multidisciplinary; therefore, phenomenological inquiry is identified as the core methodology in informing theoretical and ontological components of the research. This doctorate as a result, manifests into two symbiotic forms: The creative dissertation, and the thesis. It is anticipated that the creative outcome will be engaging, thus demonstrating the potential of graphic narrative and the medium’s potential of providing commentary on serious topic matters.
