Would you be my muse?

Glitter

I've started writing a novel and I'm going to be including a handful of minor autistic characters.  The main characters are autistic too, but I don't want to give too much away.

Would anyone like to be an inspiration for a minor character?   If so, let me know a few details below.  Favourite colour, favourite stims, personal mannerisms or quirks or things you enjoy.  How much you talk out loud or in other ways.  

This is purely voluntary and I won't pay you. ;)  

I could make up a few things, but you lot do make me smile and it's my way of offering a thankful tribute.

    I'm more tech literate and even I struggle to navigate this system.  It's desperately in need of an update for more user friendly features.  But it's the one place I've found that seems to move at the right pace for me, so I'm sticking with it.

    Thanks for that. I have accepted the request from a section I did not even know about. And since when has there been a notification section?! I have been manually checking for updates and replies since I arrived here! Typical tech illiterate me! It turns out another user had sent me a request at some point and I never acknowledged it (due to not knowing it was there). I do apologise to that person. I hope I didn’t leave you feeling ignored.

    I've sent a friend request, which will be somewhere on your profile or notifications. Once you accept it, I can send a message.

    And don't worry, I'll keep the messaging to a minimum to maintain that balance.

    Well, that has genuinely surprised me. But sure, I’d like to help and would therefore be happy for you to send me a message.

    I have not had a message sent on here before and remember speaking to a user on here about not accepting a friend request/message in order to keep the balance manageable for myself. I really think this is the right way to go about this though, so would like to offer that user an apology for not managing the same thing back then (I believe it is Number who I owe the apology to).
