shamanicshaymin"Does Mr. Roger's know you're at a party again?" He smirks.
"Mr. Rogers?" I don't get it.
"Your boyfriend. He is the biggest square I have even seen”
Don't you dare bring up Mr. Rogers like that, you miserable ball of slime. He's a million times more the man you'll ever be, Mr. Totally-Not-Overcompensating-With-My-New-Name Hardin.
“Don't talk about him like that, he is.. he is.. nice" I stutter.
Harry laughs and I stand up. He doesn't know Noah at all. "You could only dream of being as nice as he is" I snap.
“Nice? That's the first word that comes to your mind when talking about your boyfriend? Nice is your 'nice' way of calling him boring."
Yeah, a boy who actually treats girls like they're human beings? How dull.
“He isn't boring, you don't know him”
"I know that he is boring. I could tell by his cardigan and loafers"
Harry's head rolls back in laughter and I can't ignore his dimples.
While we're at it, let's make assumptions about people from the way they dress.
“He doesn't wear loafers" I say and cover my mouth so I don't laugh with him at my boyfriend's expense.
You can go to hell too, Tessa.
I grab the water and take a drink.
"Well he has been dating you for two years and hasn't fucked you yet, I would say he is a square.”
It's too bad there's no complete sporkings of this series. It's the only fucking way I can get anywhere near this thing. At least I can take comfort in the fact the published version flopped abysmally.
Meanwhile, I'm dealing with ableist bullshit at a comm I frequent. That's what happens when you're openly autistic on the Internet, I suppose. Whoopee.

Nice to know that people can write about talking animals and purple aliens with Blue-And-Orange Morality just fine, but autistic people are too haaaaaaaaaaaaard to identify with.

If anything that should be all the MORE reason for authors to try harder to write autistic characters who aren't all like Susan Felder or Uncle Adam.
