Jess Mahler<p>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.</p><p>And I've been thinking about that a lot, because one of my PoV characters in <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/PlantingLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PlantingLife</span></a> is autistic.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/amwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>amwriting</span></a></p>

Jess Mahler<p>I have three fiction novels that are currently being actively worked on. A <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/polyamory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>polyamory</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>romance</span></a> that is (I think) the second realistic fiction I've ever worked on. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/PlantingLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PlantingLife</span></a>, a bronze-age fantasy novel and launching point for what I hope will be a long-ass series. And <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/SpaceWerewolves" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SpaceWerewolves</span></a>, which I could also call Underground Railroad in Space.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/amwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>amwriting</span></a></p>
