The Ride Together

The Ride Together, a single-issue comic published by Simon and Schuster in 2004, presents a deeply personal and collaborative portrait of a family navigating life with an autistic sibling. Created by siblings Paul and Judy Karasik, the book interweaves their distinct artistic and narrative voices to explore memory, care, and the bonds that shape a shared life. Its intimate, non-linear structure and blend of illustration styles make it a quietly landmark work in autobiographical comics, offering a nuanced perspective on neurodiversity long before such conversations became widespread.
