I want to say this as concisely as I can.

Naming a fictional condition after autism, when even the characters in the story agree it is nothing like autism, is a bizarre choice. Cashing in on autism in this manner while it's trendy is not helpful to autistic people, our families, or anyone else.

Writing a bad depiction of autism, and saying "but it isn't real autism!", does not excuse you for writing a bad depiction of autism.

Real autistic people have things going on in our lives other than autism. "I don't want to be cured" is a nice sentiment, but it rings a little hollow when it is the conclusion to a story in which nothing happens except other people being unhappy with the protagonist's not-autism, other people wanting to "cure" her, and her trying to deal with her perceptual differences. These are things that happen in the lives of most autistic people, but a story with this structure inherently distorts and romanticizes them.

You can write a story like this and still be an ally of neurodiversity. But writing a story like this does not make you an ally. Reading a story like this does not make you an ally. Voting for a story like this in awards season does not make you an ally. It is, in fact, unhelpful.

Real autistic people's lives are not like this story.

It's not my job to tell you what to vote for. Vote for what you like. But please understand what it is you are voting for.
