Not everyone's imaginative enough to be able to write a fictional story. My NT husband lacks imagination and would not be able to think up a fictional story. Sometimes I ask him to tell a ghost story when we're cosy in bed but he says he just can't. I love listening to someone telling creepy stories.
 
The 2004 book, 'The Midnight Disease - The Drive to Write, Writer's Block, and the Creative Brain' - by Alice, W. Flaherty offer discussions on Autism.
 
"This list comprises fictional works where one or more of the central characters are Autistic. Many have explicitly Autistic characters, and others are coded as Autistic. In the latter case, where possible, the author has confirmed the character is coded Autistic. Each book has been written by an Autistic author."
