So I am NOT the only one who thought that Emily from Emily Wilde is autistic coded??? I was so upset when I saw people on the internet completely hating on her and I was like: Guys, stop, don't make me feel so unloved x_x Sorry :D

Emily Wilde is my favorite character for this reason!! Her and Katniss from The Hunger Games are such great depictions of the way my autistic traits work

Same!

i felt like this with convenience store woman! there’s so many blurbs and reviews about how hilarious it is and how the main character is an absolute riot… and she’s really just living her life as an autistic woman

Found this list via the list section of No Longer Human. I'm glad other people agree with my thinking.

i haven’t read it yet but i’ve heard that i’d probably resonate with it a lot!

It's a good read, and I understand why it's an important piece of post-WWII literature in Japan, but be prepared to think that the MC is a dick, haha. I resonated with many aspects of him, and many others made me go "Oh yikes, what a dick" so it's a bit of a mixed bag xD

My TBR is about to bow under the weight of all of these books omg
