I know that it’s a bad trope to make the autistic coded character comedy relief but... is it okay if I start with a character who is autistic being the funny character only for it later to be revealed that they actually have a lot going on and people start taking them seriously? Is that okay? Or is that just playing into it? Hmmm....
#I’m not autistic so I feel like I really need to be thoughtful about this.#I started writing the character and then I was like wait...#feel free to rb#with responses#please?#character planning#because#when I first started writing her I wasn’t consciously making her autistic.#and then I was like hey actually she has a lot of neurodivergent traits#so I’ll just have her be autistic instead of being a pussy and just having her be autistic coded#but she was originally gonna be the jester trope#so I just don’t know
