No worries! It was wonderful to see the mural in real life! Thanks for inviting me to participate
The mural depicts a person confused and overwhelmed by recycling options, weather and on the right as a climate change affected drought area with refugees and silhouette moving across. 
On the left in a green fertile land, there are wind turbines and and  Earth and hands in a heart shape in the sky, and the statue of the Duke of Wellington wearing a traffic cone is firing a cannon with all the things we don't want including pollution and an angular distinctive electric car.A red and yellow mural says look out for each other and features three living bees and some dead bees and multiple silhouettes of disabled people and a crow at the bottom. All of the text has graffiti and scribbles in it from project participants

Someone with both autism and addiction can experience physical and mental effects, as well as issues personally, professionally, academically, and socially

Autism And Addiction
The physical and mental effects of addiction may be more dire for those with autism. Fortunately, treatment can help facilitate recovery.
