Coming Out Autistic is a queer comic book zine that features interviews with a variety of LGBTQ+ people. Each person is autistic and this comic tells their coming out stories. The stories are not how they come out as queer, but how they come out as autistic. Parallels with common 'coming out as gay' stories are drawn and differences are also highlighted. The zine includes interviews, illustrations and comic book pages.
