And on that;

Why do people have an issue with a disabled person *playing* a disabled character? I always make people aware I have disabilites and how they can impact me in terms of reply times, needing reminding to respond, etc. 

I get "yeah but playing as an autistic/deaf character is still wrong you're making the disabilities seem like fiction and making me feel uncomfortable playing against a disabled character/writer" as if I am doing it to be an arsehole.

As someone who is autistic and ADHD, it is very hard for me to write a 'genuine' neurotypical OC, and I've had people tell me they're 'uncanny' and 'robotic.'
