I just wanted to say before this month draws to a close how important it is to me personally as an autistic person and to the autism community as a whole to have autistic characters in the media, not just for representation but to work towards acceptance and ending stereotypes. I am so grateful to have Ty Blackthorn as a canonical autistic character and to see how much the fandom embraces him and accepts him for who he is, and that he has a love interest like Kit Herondale who loves him exactly the way he is and would never try to change anything about him. I am grateful for Cassie for doing her best to have authentic autism representation in her books, and I can’t wait to see Ty as a main character in TWP ❤️❤️❤️

(As a side note, I’m always happy to offer advice/be a firsthand source for anyone writing autistic characters, tsc related or otherwise!)
