I haven't read a lot with autistic book characters but what do you think?

Little Pete from GONE. Gods, he is so effing awesome!

I agree it's a shame that they don't do that as often

Little Pete, I think was made to not offend the autistic. He is all powerful, and created their little world. When he dies, it's an escape from his autistic body, and he is stronger.

I know. I meant he was sorta being careful not to.

Mine either. We confuzzled each other.

London eye mystery by Siobhan Dowd! It's great

Reviving

Yes, I believe that the author should provide an accurate depiction. That all goes along with creating a believable character, and it's just as important when the character is autistic.

Yeah, I think an author should be responsible for what he/she writes. After all, he/she has control over their pen and/or computer.

That's terrible!
