![]() Most autistic representations are men, so it was refreshing to see a story about autism from a girl’s POV. It gives the audience a rare perspective in the media - the point of view (POV) of an autistic woman, Stella. This book is my second favorite of the trilogy. The first book in the New Adult (NA) rom-com trilogy series by Helen Hoang. We barely get that representation in the real world book settings, let alone the sci-fi or fantasy settings. It’s very difficult to find well written autistic characters in fantasy, which is my favorite genre to read. The other issue is that a lot of it isn’t good representation. There is very little autistic representation in the media in general, but especially in the YA genre of books. ![]() An interesting note: three of them are a trilogy by the same author. As April is Autism Acceptance Month, I wanted to write about four of my favorite autistic characters in New Adult (NA) and Young Adult (YA) books that I’ve read. ![]()
