Re: Good characters for autism-spectrum people?

Why fictional? Get your hands on Temple Grandin's biography, or a copy of Oliver Sacks' "Mind Traveler" documentary, one of the episodes features an autistic artist.

If you're going to do Temple Grandin, I strongly recommend including other autobiographies (autiebiographies?) as well.

In my experience with her work, she tends to kind of overgeneralize a lot (and she occasionally falls into treating some kinds of autistic people as okay while framing others as defective), so while she's definitely worth tossing in I'd add others as well, like Daniel Tammet or Michelle Dawson or group-effort works like the Loud Hands Anthology or The Thinking Person's Guide to Autism.

...and I think I'm misremembering one of those names; I think Dawson is a scientist, not a memoir-writer. Damned if I can recall who I had in mind there, though.
