Hi all! Since people have been asking, this years #AutieReadathon WILL be happening. It’ll mostly just consist of the bingo board. I’ve done nothing else to prepare and I’m in a reading slump myself but I still wanna host it for those of yall who aren’t. Thanks for the support!

I'd love to see more autistic MCs in all different genres. We're getting there more and more!

[Leanne/L.A. Schwartz (🦋SchwartzWords📸) @lifebreakingin]

lol say it with me again: EVE BROWN

[Leanne/L.A. Schwartz (🦋SchwartzWords📸) @lifebreakingin]

it's probably best not to write a main/POV character but it's great to include more in your casts

also, don't research and then try to cram every trait you read about into one character

[Leanne/L.A. Schwartz (🦋SchwartzWords📸) @lifebreakingin]

I am so excited for @IveHousman's UNSEELIE

all my books have at least one autistic MC
AMOR: autistic poet wakes a murderous statue
TADS: two autistics fight their way through hell
LiarWIP: secret still, but it's an autistic romcom

Any upcoming releases with autistic characters that you’re excited for? If you’re a writer, do you have a WIP with an autistic character?
