I'm writing a story where two twelve year olds meet and one of them introduces the other to her favorite comic book series. I'm trying to tone down details to keep the main character from seeming too obsessive and I still find myself wondering if she seems weirdly obsessed with this comic and her new friend who she met the day prior. Though I don't think ive written her doing more than just reading the comics she was lent and being excited to see her new friend. Which I guess is what a twelve year old would do? I mean I'm not aiming for this relationship to come across toxic or anything but...

I'm autistic spectrum and I was an obsessive child growing up to the point where my parents took away my favorite series of books and movies because it was literally all I ever talked about. But to me I didn't see anything wrong with what I was doing. I just liked a thing a lot.

UGHHHHH why can't I be normal?? Is every main character I write going to come across autistic as heck? Or am I just paranoid?

I don’t think having a twelve year old obsess about a favorite series to a new friend is limited to autistic kids />autistic public library clerk

Maybe see if you can find a neurotypical beta reader, if you’re that worried? Idk.

I have Asperger's and I think that was a shitty thing for your parents to do.
