| Strangely enough, I'm great at writing dialog. When I first started co-writing a fantasy novel with my NT friend, I did the dialog while he did the fight scenes. If you know your own characters, chances are you know how they talk and what they say. |

Just found this yesterday. It is a list of famous people, inventors, musicians, writers, movie stars, characters in shows, etc with Aspie traits or diagnosed already. Just fyi in response to question about anyone knowing where they can find a list of famous writers with Aspergers.
type "Famous People with Autistic Traits" and find a site from geocities - the guy's name is richardg from the UK
Sorry, I'm new to the board and they won't let me put a website on here although this is a legitimate resource. I'm a social worker, not a spam artist but I just joined this thing to answer the question and I thought the site would be helpful for others newly diagnosed or who need inspiration.
Those of you who are into writing-check out Writing dot com It give you a chance to put all your writing on your portfolio and have others read and rate/review you as well as allowing you to do the same. They have an Autism forum there too, for writers who are parents of or who have an ASD. |

Well, fictional dialogue is somewhat different than real dialogue, as it usually has a point, and is going towards something - it has its place in the grand scheme of things, and things that are said must be said, or at least lead to something that must be said. I cannot say the same thing of most conversations between people in the real world.
However, it really depends on the character I'm writing for and how much I understand them. Some characters are really easy to think and write for, while the minds of others are completely inaccessible to me. And it's not even necessarily the characters that I relate to all that much that I have the best understanding of! If there's really a certain trait that I imagine a character having but I can't write for, I leave it to the reader's imagination as much as possible to fill in the details, or I show it through the eyes of another character that I understand more and interpret it through them. |

I'm writing a philosophical work. Which is odd, considering us Aspies are suppoed to be crap at that.

I've been writing poetry and short stories for years and I long to write a novel. However, I find my main problem is planning, as I like to think out each bit at a time and after a certain length this rambles too off topic. I'm also a little worried about my characters and their conversations too, as I have trouble seeing the world from other people's perspectives. Description is probably my strong point
