Curious about autism? This resource for writers talks about what autism is and how to write an autistic character.
Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disability that affects around 1 in 59 people. Every autistic person is different. Most autistic people typically experience some or all of the common autistic traits, which include developmental delays, difficulty mind-reading, sensory issues, need for routine, stimming, and difficulty understanding and coping with emotions.
This resource is intended to be autistic-friendly.
