I am a woman with aspergers and writing an autistic character has always been close to my heart. Fiera Allas, a fantasy powerhouse with immense power and sword skills has always struck me as autistic (possibly because of how much of myself I put into writing her) and I want more than just the few autistic people who may read my book to go "oh yeah she has similarities to me cool." I want to be able to give Fiera a name for something that affects her like that but this is, of course, a fantasy world. How do I make it clear to neurotypical readers without stereotyping a good character or calling her by the name "autistic."
