| This is going to sound sad and pathetic, but here goes nothing. Today I just recieved a text on my phone from my doctor's, it seems automated. It's about a wellbeing walk at a nearby trail, and it's just letting people know when and where, and there's an email attached to ask further questions. I ha... |

| Making your characters likable and relatable and having a good story is much more important than their neurodiversity, race, religion and/or sexual orientation. Too bad most modern professional writers seem unaware of this and come out with awful stuff like "Velma" or "Santa Inc"... |

| The more accurate statement is most people have some autistic traits. Three basic reasons people say Everyone’s a little autistic 1. Lack of and incorrect knowledge about autism. 2. Misguided attempt to be sympathetic via bonding over “something we have in common”. 3. To scold by implicitly saying ... |

| When I was at school once, during Geography, we had a substitute teacher so that meant, obviously, we all swapped seats around. I was sat with my so-called friend at the time, and I forget how we got onto the topic, but we were guessing what is the largest country in the world. I went with Russia, t... |

| It's one of the main reasons why I keep my diagnosis to myself It's like having your struggles completely invalidated when people say that It's rude To me it's like saying to a person in a wheelchair: "oh we all have days when we can't be arsed walking" Exactly. I can agree that it might ... |

| I don't recall having too many troubles on school trips, however my memory is pretty bad of back then and perhaps I had young naivety so maybe I had troubles but didn't recognise them as autism symptoms at the time. The only trip I remember having trouble with was in Secondary school where we had a ... |

| When my grandmother was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's someone in the family joked that we all have a little bit of Dementia because we all forget things at times. Bit of a silly thing to say but I just brushed it off as a joke. I think in that context I can understand it as a joke, I'm not compl... |

| I had a different problem, all the characters I created had autistic behaviours. But I guess you can base them on some of your traits or other autistic people. See, I try doing that already, but it always comes out not right, kind of stale, or more like a checklist of some sort. I don't know if tha... |

| To any writers out there, this is a question for you. I always have trouble portraying a character that has autism, even though I really want to, I always get stumped. Creating a twisted, psycho-maniac? No probs, I can create a network of how's and why's, but Autism? I can never come up with anythin... |
