    I never even thought of taking notes. O_O This is a really good idea. I've always done my best to even research autism too. Since people with autism aren't always the same, I try not to make a lot of stereotypes for those with this condition on my characters.

    This article was really good! I see a lot of people that talk about inaccuracy in stories that use any sort of illness, and it seems to be a pet peeve for a lot of people. This article is great at pointing out some ways to learn more about illnesses you're using, and I think that's important. Good, accurate information is almost as important as good story telling, in some cases, because no one wants to read a story about an OCD person who gets chemotherapy to help their illness (maybe not that bad but still XD) this article was informative and I really enjoyed reading it!
