Video version: How should Autistic characters be written?

Hello!

Here is the video version of my latest essay, How Should Autistic Characters Be Written?

In this video I narrate the full piece aloud, and gab with the live YouTube chat about the many highlights and lowlights of neurodivergent representation we have seen on screen. From Anya of Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s monologue of confused grief in ‘The Body,’ to Fitzwilliam Darcy’s frustrating iciness in Pride and Prejudice, to the Barbie with Down Syndrome, we plunge the depths of neuro-non-conforming depictions in fiction, and figure out which characterization choices we like the best.

If you enjoy these conversations and want to participate in a live chat, follow me on YouTube!
