hey, sorry to bother - i was wondering if you knew of any fics with autistic characters? its hard to find representation. thanks!

Hello and welcome to the library! You're not a bother at all - I'm so glad you're here! Your holds have arrived.

Representation of Autistic Characters

Missing You by @otpcutie (178 words, rated T)

Draco misses Harry while he’s away and is comforted by thoughts of him.

This is Hard (But It Helps To Have You With Me) by @toixxx-ace (1,355 words, rated T)

Draco Malfoy + no sleep, little food, and 2 all nighters + rude coworkers inviting him on a healers retreat = having a complete meltdown and being comforted by Harry Potter?

Stimming Joy by @toixxx-ace (7,468 words, rated G)

Draco Malfoy doesn't know why he does it, he just knows it feels good to do it. He's not supposed to do it. It's childish. Disgusting. Unattractive. Distracting. But, through his friends and family and friends-made-into-family, he learns there's a happiness to be found in expressing himself.

A short collection about stimming and finding joy through it.

the way you make me glow by @softlystarstruck (11,090 words, rated M)

In a cottage next to the sea, love blossoms. Or perhaps it’s been there all along.

Burn the Witch by @lettersbyelise (95,800 words, rated E)

When Harry Potter is sent in to investigate Draco Malfoy’s successful potions company, posing as Draco’s bodyguard, he doesn’t know the case will launch a series of events that will change his life — and Draco’s. A story about choices, scars, Chopin piano pieces, and finding all kinds of love in the most unexpected places.

❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the author a kudos or a comment! ❤️

Lots of Love and Happy Reading!

Write what you know? Why the true test of authenticity is the effect on the reader – interview with James Ladd Thomas

Authenticity is a troublesome concept in the arts at the moment. There are things we’re ‘allowed’ to write, things we’re not ‘allowed’ to write. While this raises valuable debates, authors have always written about characters, places and situations outside their personal circumstances and experience, and made works that are honest and truthful. That’s our craft, isn’t it? My interviewee today is…

"you only say you're autistic because you want to feel special and different" actually finding out i was autistic made me feel significantly less special and different. before i was autistic i was Strange and Unpredictable in some sort of Unknowable way which Surely meant i was Predestined for Greatness (like storybook character). now im just some fuckin autistic guy like any other. i significantly prefer it this way btw

#this isnt about being a gifted kid btw this is about being different from everyone else #seeing that all the famous people you look up to were Also described as being different from everyone else #and going “ahah! i must be a main character of some sort! i cannot wait for my fascinating tale to unfold!”#“perhaps i will be the first contact which alien life makes with earth! perhaps i am secretly a shapeshifting cat!”#only to grow up & find out what autism is & go “oh im actually just like millions of other people who are not famous at all. yay!”#autism #autistic #actually autistic

“The best thing for autism representation is to have multiple autistic characters so there’s a display of autism as a spectrum affecting people differently” “we need better autism representation” “I wish there were more characters that are audhd” my brother in christ, the teenage mutant ninja turtles are RIGHT THERE

#teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #mutant mayhem #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #Autism #adhd #neurodivergent #In case it’s unclear this is a joke #There should definitely be canon neurodivergent characters written by writers with the neurodivergence in question #leonardo #donatello #michael angelo #raphael #rtmnt

Hey btw if you have an autistic person in your life pls know that they do care about you. They're bonding with you by sitting near you, by sending you memes, by liking your posts, by info dumping to you. We have weird ways of showing we care but trust me we do.

homestuck was so perfect for autistic teenagers bc it took characters being sorted into categories and having Attributes to its absolute extreme. forget four hogwarts houses, every character has their associated colour their zodiac sign their associated animal their dream planet their god tier class and aspect their typing quirk their pesterchum handle their weapon their planet of x and y, as well as each of them having a handful of other very quantifiable Personality Traits and Interests (e.g. this one is a clown this one is angry this one likes fashion this one is just rufio from hook for some reason) and THEN they all also have their respective ancestors and dancestors(?)(plucked that word from my memory) who have all of those things as WELL

and god not to mention the fucking quadrant system

as a 13-15 year old autistic kid i didnt even need homestuck to have a plot i just happily made a big big spreadsheet of character attributes in my brain

#just endless endless personality quiz opportunities #and remember those big big shipping grids of all the characters where u could fill in what type of romance u shipped them as…..#i can feel the cogs whirring in my brain even now #categories!!!!! love them #homestuck #had to go back and add even more categories after i checked homestuck wiki #there were so many #and like. each name having the exact same amount of letters? the pesterchum handles all being some combo of GCAT??#413 and 612 working their way into fucking everything????#unfortunately i think andrew hussie won autism

I know it's a comedy manga, but the ww manga probably has one of my favorite manga interpretations of Link. Mainly because he feels accurate to his games. He's quiet, he can talk, but he mostly just communicates his thoughts through his actions and body language. He's also just a silly little guy.

#wind waker #loz ww #the legend of zelda #my favorite autism creature #this isnt any shade towards the other manga links it's hard making a whole character out of a silent protagonist and its def a lot easier i #this style of manga #i mean i love the fs manga #this is just the only one for me that nails his character on the head especially for this iteration #i look at him and go “yeah thats link in the game”#theres a part where Medli is waiting for Link to come over as part of the main quest and you just know hes goofing off #hes probably doing the mail minigame
