Hi, I have having a go at writing stories based on my experiences. I've wtiten loads of stuff, on paper and on my laptop. I think im good at descriptive writing, plus I want to clear out some clutter in my head. I want to write in the most transparent way I can, and be naked and honest about the bad things I've done, as well as the bad done to me.
I do have a problem with my actions and how autism has influenced those actions. Autism is NOT an excuse, but do believe my behaviour would not have been anywhere near as bad without it, or at least the realisation that I had it. I don't think I can open and honest about things without dealing with how autism played a part in it all.
I was thinking of writing a sort autobiography. I will alter names and my some situation will recieve some embellishment, simply to make it a good read and not too dour or boring. I was going to use the songs of Pet Shop Boys as a framework, although I won't be nicking any ideas from lyrics. For example, one chapter will concern moving out of the family home - the chapter title will be "This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave. One chapter will concern the pity party in my head - What Have I Done To Deserve This? The book itself will be named after a b-side: "I Didn't Get Where I Am Today...
Anyway, going off tangent. Two questions really.
1) has autism and the problems it brings caused you to do something potentially bad or wrong?
2) have you ever tried your hand at writing anything creative, and was it a successful exercise in any way?
PLEASE reply. I'm looking forward to it, ACTUALLY. YES, VERY much so. 
(Note: references to 4 Pet Shop Boys albums in there. Silly BEHAVIOUR, I know)
