Book #40
Greton is back, and this time the mystery cuts close to the bone. Found family, unconditional love, and some of the best autism writing I've encountered. Cosy fantasy doing exactly what it does best.

9/12 The series brilliantly explores neurodiversity through different types of machine intelligence. Wells reveals: "It taught me about my own neurodiversity. I didn't know I probably had autism until writing this story."

This move matters because representation counts: showing children that different ways of communicating are valid, visible, and celebrated. It helps create a more inclusive world where everyone belongs.

Two animated characters, a raccoon and a pink bunny, shake hands inside a wooden room with a PBS Kids logo in the corner. Text highlights the animated series "Carl the Collector", which brings a new character Paolo who is nonverbal and autistic. The character, along with the actual voice actor, are both autistic, nonspeaking, and use an AAC device.

Re-reading the first draft of my novel The Specters. It's mostly very crude, but I came across this dialogue and I kind of like it a lot, so I thought I'd share. :)
#writingcommunity #mywip #writesky #sci-fantasy #sci-fi #scifinovel #author #amwriting #autisticcharacter #autismrepresentation
The Specters - Chapter #10 [fragment] “You know what?” Emma turned to Neve, to face her skepticism with a very rational and quietly spoken argument. “You guys keep treating me like I’m an idiot, sometimes. But I’m not. I’m just, I don’t know--” She hesitated. Her anger had dissipated. She solved a problem and was feeling satisfaction now. That was probably not how people usually acted. “I have different reactions to things,” she said. “Not ones you would expect. That’s all. Like. You think I’m upset about the Extremists, right?” “Actually--” “Or Nersan lying to me?” “Arguing with Nersan, yeah. I thought this might have disrupted your balance. That's not it?” “Only partially. Because I couldn’t count on him with all those other things. Like, Anaher being a plain old jerk toward me.” “Anaher was concerned about Troy, he wasn’t--” “He was pissed at me for researching my father’s past. Well, okay, not for that, but for keeping it from him. And I get it, maybe I could have trusted him, I don’t know. But could I?” And just like that, anxiety was back. Yeah. It was about that; Neve was not entirely wrong. “I don’t know, I just don’t know, okay? He was far more butthurt, I think, than this whole thing deserved, and he only started to really talk to me, when he needed something from me. And he never apologized, he just-- He was like, ‘hey, Emma, could you help me with Troy?’ And you know what? I helped him.” Emma stopped, feeling that the whole energy that fueled her before, left with those words. She was only sad and hurt now. “It’s still eating at you?” “I guess,” she admitted in a small voice, close to tears. “I need him.” “I know.” Never reached out, but didn’t touch her. “Can I give you a hug?” she asked instead and Emma found herself needing that nearness, the warmth of another person. Neve’s blue-black braids smelled nice.

I know some people feel seen by the #autismrepresentation in The Maid, but in my opinion, it’s 🤮🤮🤮, and the fact that Nita Prose by all accounts is not #autistic just puts me over the edge.

First review post since my surgery!

°°°

Hey friends, today a review again.
This book I haven't seen mentioned much but really meant a lot to me.
I hope you might enjoy it too!

#AutismBooks #AutismRepresentation #BookReview
The book "Sounds of Yesterday" by Jacob Hubbard surrounded my multiple book related objects that are edited in. The cover shows the main character next to his ex girlfriend sitting on a bench on the stage of a concert hall, their backs are facing us. The main character wears headphones and there is a standing microphone next to them. The first object edited in around it is a big microphone, there are also LOOP earplugs and a Tangle stimming toy. On the top right is the text "Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow?" referencing the way the chapters are named in the book. Text on a beige background that says: So I have read plenty of books with Autism representation and enjoyed most of them. One issue that I have with some though is that my Autism is usually a bit more disabling than most characters in books. In my experience most books have Autistic characters showing level 1 Autism. In the Netherlands we don't use levels so personally I'm not diagnosed with a level, but with me living in a 24/7 care institute for managing my Autism I would say I'm somewhere around level 2. I haven't found any kind of person like me on that regard in books before. Most Autistic protagonists live on their own if they're adults and manage their daily life without needing to speak social workers daily. They don't have meltdowns that need professional intervention else they don't go away. And that's okay, those Autistic people definitely exist and deserve their representation too. But representation with someone like me I haven't seen before I read this book. This book, is one big exception and made me feel incredibility seen. The main character of this book has self destructive stims. Stims they can't hold back even if they try. And I don't do those myself anymore, I very much used to in my childhood. Seeing that on page, humanized in a way that makes it just a part of Autism and not something infantalizing, made me feel at home in this book from the start. Text on a beige background that says: One thing in the Autism representation that also really stood out to me is that you can read the character getting stuck on mental things. I struggle with this the most myself in my daily life, that I just don't understand things, even with multiple explanations by brain can't grasp it. But also getting stuck on thoughts and spiraling from there was something that very much happened in the book. These scenes were both beautiful and painful to read. It was like a big mirror in front of me that made me understand myself better from an outward perspective which was nice, but also a big confrontation with my own limits. It was good, but definitely hard as well. Outside of the Autism representation the book is very much about moving on from a relationship that ended. I read a lot of romance books where the whole plot is basically the opposite, so for a change seeing the aftermath when things don't work out was beautiful in it's own way. Breaking up with your partner is messy and can leave you unmoored for a long while and this book showed all sides of that struggle. The main character was living his own life but kept relating everything back to their partner and just wasn't able to mentally move on. Seeing him slowly work through his feelings made me look back on my own breakups and how I might not have handled those all the best. And to be honest in the book it also isn't handled the best, this stuff is messy. But following this journey was an amazing read. Concluding this book was a refreshing read with Autism representation in a way I really needed.

I don't understand how anyone can watch #TheGoodDoctor. I've only seen a few clips of it, and the cringe is so painful I got mildly sick; that show is SHIT. Not the worst portrayal of #autism I've ever seen, but that bar is a tripping hazard in Hell.
