Do you generally read or write fiction and/or fanfiction?
I spend my life reading and writing stories of various types, and I wondered if this is normal for autistic people. I thought we were supposed to have very limited imaginations and interests and that was how we got diagnosed. But my imagination is vast, I tend to live in a fantasy world rather than the real world because it is nicer tbh!
What is your imagination like?
Interesting thread! I am also a fan of the fantasy genre.
Authors are often classified as either plotter or pantsers. I have the feeling that writers in the autistic spectrum tend to be prevalently plotters.
Funny that. I used to be a plotter but went too far with 3 act structures, midpoints, rising and falling tension etc. It meant my stories were too formulaic so I turned into a pantser.
like A.C. Doyle, I'm sure he was autistic
