I feel like a big part of my inability to get into mainstream storytelling is just that it’s all made by neurotypicals. whenever I read something that was obviously written by a fellow autist I’m able to immediately get into it. whereas 99% of mainstream stories are full of characters that I just can not relate to at all

I bet if I were reading stories written by queer autists, I would be able to get even more into them lol. unfortunately this still doesn’t fix my issue of getting deeply emotionally hurt by most stories, but yeah I’m pretty sure this is what the pattern is - I find neurotypical characters to be really hard to relate to or even understand
