Re: Good characters for autism-spectrum people?

(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Diana Wynne Jones' "Charmed Life" and "Pinhoe Egg" (both part of the Chrestomanci series). They have a protagonist intended to be high-functioning autistic, but the author didn't mention it until years/decades after writing the books. Her reasoning was that the character (Cat) was who he was, he didn't need a label, but then people kept asking her so she finally admitted it.

As a kid I loved the books, still do as an adult, but I don't have much interaction with autistic people so I don't know if Cat's a fair representation or not.
