![A three panel comic about messing up carefully laid plans. In the first panel, Bex has her hands on her hips; she's feeling determined! She thinks to herself, 'I took a big break to help me recover from autistic burnout. I'm rested! I'm ready!'
In the second panel, Bex brings out her fancy new planner. It's even customised with her name on it! She says, 'I even bought a personalised planner to keep me on track! I'm so on top of this! I've even written out tomorrow's to-do list!'
In the third panel, Bex wakes up in bed, extremely stressed and anxious - she overslept!](https://images.prismic.io/wellcomecollection/a3f9acd3-cd87-487d-8750-f683bcbdb353_Best+Laid+Plans.png?w=1338&auto=compress%2Cformat&rect=&q=100)

About the artist
Bex Ollerton
Bex Ollerton is a full-time comic artist from Lancashire. She is known for her introspective comics about mental health, neurodivergence and the general struggles of being a human being in an overwhelming world. As a physically disabled autistic artist with ADHD, she cares greatly about raising awareness through graphic medicine, and her goal is to use comics to discuss things that can be hard to talk about. When she’s not drawing or making comics, she enjoys playing piano and definitely remembering to take care of her far too many house plants. You can find her work online under the handle Schnumn.
