I have quite a few characters of mine in different stories who are on the autism spectrum. The important thing to me with these characters is variety. To show that there are so many ways for a character to be autistic and not just one personality that they all need to fit.

In my main work which is a Loads of Characters story has three two of them being twins and one character being a mixture of disabilities. In two other stories (separate stories) I have two female autistic characters one with a fascination about art and architecture and dreams, and another who really loves fantasy creatures and writing about "imaginary friends". The latter is somewhat based off of me as a child.

Then there's Toby , my character who's sort of ambiguously high functioning autistic and he's an alchemist's lab assistant who really likes both chemistry and art. He lives in a time where there wasn't as much information on the disorder though if he lived in modern times he'd definitely be diagnosed autistic.

I do this because well for one I like having the one character I can really understand the mind of and because I wanted to create a diverse set of characters with different personalities with autism.

That's really cool. I haven't written anyone on the spectrum yet, but I love to hear that it's being done.

DA

Me too, honestly, especially because of the way autism is viewed. I go on FB in April and all these memes are in my face about how people with autism are inspiring angels, and it's like... have you met someone with autism? People I know with autism wouldn't be touched by your "recognition," they'd be creeped out as hell, and rightfully so.
