Came across this article about the portrayal of people with Autism in fiction and how it feels sometimes that including a character with Autism serves as a plot device. I came across the article shortly after reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon, which does not suffer from treating autism as a prompt for exploring life twists. A delightful book! The Trouble With Autism in Novels https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/04/books/review/autism-marie-myung-ok-lee.html |
