Wild Hearts by EffervescentElixir

Anxious. Alone. Afraid. Aiden Griffin never asked to be any of these things, but they define his existence, shaping every moment, ruining any chance for connections, and carving deeper into him with every passing day. His life is a quiet battle, one fought in solitude-lost in the woods, wandering through forgotten cemeteries, and navigating the decaying corners of an uncaring city. He's far from the world that's hurt him, but the words still haunt, sharp and unforgiving. Isolated by the cruelty of those around him, Aiden often feels like an outsider, his mind swirling with thoughts that others can't understand. His autism makes it harder to connect, leaving him drifting in the shadows, struggling to navigate a world that feels overwhelming and unkind. His parents are distant, and no one at school seems to notice that the golden boy everyone admires is the one person Aiden fears most. Then comes Ryder McCallum-charismatic, wild, and fearless. With a smile that could charm anyone and a penchant for adventure and bold risks, Ryder steps into Aiden's life like a whirlwind, challenging everything he's ever known. Ryder dares Aiden to step beyond the cage of his own fears, to be something more than the walls he's built around himself. But Aiden is wary, his heart too tethered to its darkness to trust the light Ryder brings. With every reckless adventure they embark on, Aiden starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, he's meant for something more. As their friendship evolves into something more profound than either of them anticipated, Aiden finds himself drawn to Ryder, a boy as unpredictable as he is magnetic-a boy who slips away just as quickly as he arrives, leaving Aiden to question if he's chasing a dream. But no matter how elusive Ryder becomes, one thing remains undeniable: for the first time, Aiden feels alive with a love that makes him believe in something greater than himself, and he'll do whatever it takes to hold on.

Autistic Characters in Love (Ray x Egon) by RaysOccultBooks

Each love story in this Stantzler collection is named after an Autistic trait. CW: schmoop & smut. Neuroqueer one shots. First kisses. Love confessions. Neurodiversity affirming. Ghostbusters is written by an out Autistic person, Dan Akroyd. Egon and Ray are canonically Auti coded. I'm AuDHD. I love to write about Neurodiverse relationships. These stories are short, stand alone pieces. I also published these on AO3 under RaysOccultBoobs in 2023 & 2024. Lots of fun stuff over there. For longer Stantz/Spengler Ghostbusters novellas, see my stories Ghostbusters in Love and Ghostbusters: Resurrection.

Someone Else's Boy - Sebastian. by MaiLincolnReads

I lived within the pages of books. It wasn't ideal, perhaps even a little unhealthy, but it offered comfort in its predictability. In books, I found worlds where emotions had structure, where endings could be known. Books never surprised me, not like life did. Accepting a job, with a description better suited for a thriller rather than real life, would set off a chain of events that would carry me halfway around the world. I'd laugh harder, cry deeper, and do things I never thought possible. There'd be moments I longed for the quiet, predictable comfort of my books. But that one simple act would be the turning point-the moment that would rewrite my life's story in ways I couldn't yet imagine.

Out Of Control by lisaaaaa1616

George hasn't had an easy life after being diagnosed with autism. Going to a public school as an autistic, highly intelligent boy, he clearly notices the differences between his classmates and himself, giving him a lot of insecurity and shame about his own behaviour. As his escape, he goes to a bakery for hours a day to calm his mind, but things change when a new boy who moved is hired. Unexpectedly, and for the first time, George decides to open himself up to the new boy, Clay, while at the same time, Clay slowly starts falling for his new best friend, George. Mostly fluff with some angst every now and then! ⚠️ I wrote this book from my own experience and my own mindset, as someone with diagnosed autism, highly intelligent and ADHD. I DON'T think people with autism are childish or cute, I'm not projecting a stereotype. This is from my own struggles with autism at a public school without special needs.

The Unnoticed, Noticed by that_one_escapist

Also Available On Inkitt "Can I ask you something?" She asked softly. "Sure," he smiled. She looked up at him. "Why did you want to be my friend? I mean, there were so many people to choose from. Why me? I'm not even worth it." "You looked so lonely. So sad, so hidden. You looked like you were so used to being silent. But I knew there was more to it than what meets the eye. I wanted to decode the mystery." He looked deep into her eyes. "So what do you want?" She held his gaze, even though she hated eye contact. He smiled softly and sang, "All I wanna be, all I ever wanna be, is somebody to you." ________________________________________________ Darkness and shadows were all she ever saw. She lived in silence, her whole world a monochromatic display that only she could see. Her red rimmed glasses only made clearer her strife and the elastic band on her left wrist reminded her of her long lived sorrow. She hid from the world, going unnoticed by everyone, slowly crumbling to dust on her own. That was all until one faithful day when someone did the unthinkable and decided that she was worth noticing. She was the girl in the grey hoodie. And he was someone who cared. Take your mind on a journey of two unique souls, sprinkle in a little friendship, a teaspoon of tears, a spoon of laughter and fun and maybe a pinch of violence and love with a hint of secrets. And while you wait for that delicious cake to bake, a good sing along won't hurt.

Icarus by lola-n

Summary: This story is about an incredible unique autistic girl and her two equally incredible best friends. Will they ever get out of the friend zone? A little taste of the story: Is it a sin to love someone too much? To say I miss her is an understatement. I can't eat. Can't sleep. Can't function. She is constantly on my mind as she dwelled herself deep inside my heart. My heart aches for her. Every time I think of her, I smile but my heart hurts like hell because she lives far away. Too far. Sometimes all I can do is lie in bed and hope to fall asleep before I fall apart. Is it wrong to love someone this deeply at such an early age? I have inappropriate thoughts about her...about us. Not, as we are presently but grown up as adults. I'm jealous of my twin brother because he wants to take her from me. I can't let go of what's making me sad because its also the only thing that makes me happy. Her. I cannot lose her, because if I do, I will lose my best friend, my smile, my heart, my soul mate, my everything. If it is a sin, I don't think I want to be forgiven because I truly believe that God has sent her into my life to give me something to fight for, to show me there is love in this world, to give me hope and to bring me joy. All the proof I need in God is in her. She is a gift from heaven." ⚠️WARNING ⚠️ * language *drugs & alcohol * violence *assault & rape *nudity & sex

Harry and the smarts he never knew he had. by Snarryfan87

A/N in my reality Harry has always had a disability but it was never discovered until I wrote this book. I know you can't catch a disability but it's called made up for a reason. In this book you can catch or not discover disability. A/N I am changing some chapters too help people understand if they don't understand my thoughts progress Harry autism comes from watching Sherlock and Sheldon from Big Bang theory their memory was fantastic. Harry in fifth year in potion trying to do his class but Professor Snape keeps saying he's doing everything wrong so he storms of to headmaster and makes an interesting arrangement and discovered something he never knew he had. In this story there will Snarry eventually and also Bellatrix isn't married and Mpeg will happen eventually not sure maybe 6th for last year. A/N for this story I made up my own spells and own information about the subject. There's no Unbridge teaching it's mad eye Moody. Voldemort won't be mentioned for a while. Harry's aunt and uncle are somewhat supportive they notice things about Harry that's differently. I also am making up potion names and ingredients and the different laws of magic. A/N for this story I have picked out most character patronus and animagus it won't be copying the film.

Untouchable by megtwibill

Ruth is beyond awkward. Noah has known her since she was 3, and even then she screamed at him for trying to hug her. She has autism, but she isn't her condition; it's just a part of Ruth that it's impossible to remove. Two years ago, there was confusion because of Ruth's inability to understand things, and what Noah felt for her. He went into teaching, she went into be a science article editor. When she moved back home and gets a job near her old town and Noah teaches at their old school, their paths cross, but rebuilding the past is slow, especially when you can't hug, or even touch, without triggering a possible panic attack with Ruth. This isn't any old love story; but is it one worth fighting for? Top charted: General Fiction #923!

Extra Credit by Xmintflake

"Why do you always avoid my questions?" "I'm not, it's just that there's nothing to say. Who would ever want to date someone they can't even talk to? It's not rocket science. My eyes are weird, and people get tired of me eventually. There's your one-page essay. Now please don't snow me to death .-." "What? All that you just said is a lie. And I should snow you to death for even saying that! I would definitely date you." "...Thanks." 🍒｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡🍓｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡ Dallas Addison had it all; being a talented swimmer and dating the star of the football team, she didn't think she lacked anything in any capacity.
