Me, Begging, Tears In My Eyes: Please. Please Just Tell Me What The Book Is About. The Plot. Please

Just for ONCE, I’d love to see a story about an canon autistic character who is COMPLEX.

Who is autistic and more.

Whose personality is rich and fun and whose autism doesn’t other them, but actually shapes them.

I want autism seen in women, and people of color, and to see how culture shapes the subtle nuances of someone on the spectrum.

I want an autistic person with friends.

I want queer aspies, and autistic working professionals, whose asd actually helps instead of hindering their work ethic.

Autistics who are funny—and I DO NOT mean funny by default because they’re socially inept. I mean actually genuinely funny. I mean goofing off, cracking jokes, being the class clown.

I want to see aspies who have more than one special interest, and whose interests aren’t science and nature related.

I want girls who weren’t diagnosed until 17 or 20, and who still question it because girls are conditioned to silence their symptoms and socially adjust.

I want autistic people who are actually like me.

I want autistic PEOPLE.

I’m scared my fascination with space is just my most recent hyperfixation and then it will fade and I won’t really care anymore but I don’t want to stop caring I love space I love it so much

It’s never their fault.

What the entire fucl

Can you even imagine being the poor alien sod responsible for auditing an earthling spaceship’s spending allowance? Like: 

“I see, and why do you require many tubes of white plant flavoured paste?” 

“Oh well, if we don’t rub that on our teeth twice daily the bacteria living in my mouth will begin to devour me teeth.” 

“…Noted.” 

“I have also noticed several large shipments of specific medications, and a variety of individually packaged absorbent material - however injury records do not show sufficient numbers to justify these recurrent deliveries.” 

“Ah, yeah, it’s not really an injury per say. As part of our natural reproductive cycle approximately half the population will shed the lining of one of their internal organs and expel it.”

“…that is the most horrifying thing that I have ever heard.”

“Yeah.”

“Does such a process not hurt?”

“That’l be what the medication’s for. Pain killers for the cramps, birth control to stop the process.” 

“…and your reasoning behind the fully functional, high-tech entertainment system?” 

“Okay, that we could probably do without. But in our defence that was actually insisted on as a standard feature of all fleet-ships expected to encounter Terrans. Admiral Plo’Kaght insisted on it. Something about bored humans and a an illegal betting ring featuring a cleaning robot with a knife strapped to it going up against a human with a mop?” 

“…I believe I should speak with my superiors.” 

Woman: “(unattractive man) raped me.”

Society: “Oh come on. You would have liked it if he was attractive. I bet he just said hi to you and you called it rape because he’s ugly. Besides, you’re a b*tch for not giving him a chance just because of his appearance.”

Woman: “(attractive man) raped me.”

Society: “Oh come on. Women throw themselves at him. He has no reason to rape anyone. I bet you’re just mad that he didn’t call you the next day, or maybe you’re just after his money.”

Calculus is the most Bipolar class ever because it’s either,

(Chris Traiger voice.) “This is litrally THE most interesting slice of information to have ever entered my synapses.”

Or,

“What the FUCK is this demonic shit? No wonder Newton was a FUCKING virgin.”

And there is no in between.
