    True, lol.

    Hmm, that's interesting that divorce is a common thread. I know that the divorce rate is around 50/50. And maybe it's just a coincidence that they were all autistic. But it sure is a weird coincidence. I'll definitely make sure that their relationship has what it takes to last. I find that lots...

    I don't mean to pretentious at all. And I feel like you can write whatever you're willing to research. If you wanna write about revolutionary France, you better be ready to do a lot of research about revolutionary France. I am not autistic, but I am willing to work my ass off to be able to...

    I just remembered that she's signing and not speaking. You're right. I didn't mean to be offensive at all and I apologize if it came across that way. I've learned that research includes being wrong. All have you have been incredibly helpful and polite. I have been trying to avoid stereotypes as...

    Comfort foods

    I'd also like to ask if it's possible to get accustomed to certain textures. If she's been eating these foods since she was little, maybe they wouldn't bother her?

    Ahh, that makes sense. Thank you!

    Thank you, I was more asking about if certian textures are bothersome. But I'll definitely take note!

    Comfort foods

    Hello, I'm a NT writer. And was wondering about some comfort foods. My main character's mother is Japanese. I was curious if certian Japanese foods could be overstimulating. I know that Ramen is a comfort food for many. But what about things with eccentric textures like raw fish or fish eggs? Or...

    I think the most popular answer to my question has been "It's better to be left alone". Which (from a writer's standpoint), still leaves plenty of opportunity to build a connection. Ironically, people having alone time can pull them together. And I'm sorry that it's hard for you.

    Oops, I accidentally posted this before I was done. I was going to say that though she is more confident in her self and communicating her needs, it still frustrates her when she is hindered by her autism. Especially when it burdens other people.

    That's actually very inspiring, thank you so much! I already planned on having him do research and noticing little things but that would be cool too. I think what I could do is this: "Would you like me to leave you alone?" "Uhm, I don't know..." "Do you want me to do something?" "I don't...

    Forgive me for asking, but how would. "Do you want me to leave you alone?" Be miscommunicated? That's a pretty direct sentence. Also, why would she want him to stay if she if experiencing a shutdown? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but I thought that it's best to be left alone during a...

    Thank you very much. How about I change it to this? "Oh, I'm sorry. Do you want me to leave you alone." (She doesn't expect him to actually listen, because most people don't) "...Yes, please." He then leaves. That way it's less about feeling safe and more about respecting her boundaries.

    Autistic Romance

    Hello everyone! I'm a neuro-typical writer. And I am writing a story with an autistic main character. I thought I'd come on here for any questions I have representation-wise. For this story, the representation is going to be very make-or-break. I am willing to work my absolute hardest to get...
