Someone (another autistic author, I think), said something recently (I think on birdsite) about how *accurate* autistic perspective in books never gains success or acclaim the way neurotypical ideas of autistic characters do. See, allistic people aren't comfortable with a real autistic PoV. It is strange and disturbing to them. So they reject it.
And I've been thinking about that a lot, because one of my PoV characters in #PlantingLife is autistic.
