Nobody told me about the difficulties of being an autistic writer

Saying what you mean is how I do it, but it makes my characters feel fake

Due to me not understanding how neurotypicals talk, my characters feel fake.

This also goes for inner monologue. I have to constantly revise and catch myself on writing it like I do it. My NT writer peers don't seem to have this problem, and I enjoy reading their characters for the most part
