It's going to be about a character with Asperger's. The character's going to be a guy but they'll have the same symptoms as me. I hope this won't start some kind of new stereotype. Just because the character's based off me doesn't mean I don't care about other symptoms, or that people should believe every aspies like that. Especially because my character's pretty high functioning.
Problem is, it's unavoidable to accidentally imply a stereotype to the reader who's not exactly up to speed with knowledge about AS. If anything only a broad array of fictional works which portray different experiences and behaviours of Autistic/Asperger people would mitigate such stereotyping risk.
