Author's Response: Re: Morag - Fixing!
Author's Response: Hey, me too! I've never tried writing something in this format before, but I think it's working out!
Hugs and Love, Vanime
I am the mom of two autistic boys (one also has cerebral palsy). From my experience, you are definitely getting the "patter" right in Harry's speech patterns, and the way he bounces from subject to subject. I also like how you have made it clear that he has no clear concept of appropriate social interactions (not recognizing that Draco's actions against him are not appropriate even outside of the Slytherin and school rules). My sons also do that unexpected hugging thing, so seeing Harry do that to Severus really made me smile. I rather like his focus on what people smell like. One thing his medical report didn't seem to show was whether his vision is worse than in canon or if it is potentially correctable. My impression of the smell thing (besides being an autistic-like "focus" that Harry has) is that it could have developed as a safety measure from years of being locked in a dark cupboard, and possibly not being able to see very well--being able to identify who is approaching him by smell could possibly have saved him from even more damage by the Dursleys. Oh! And I love the idea of him having blue dreadlocks! I don't know why, but that just tickled my fancy. Hermione sounds like she's going to be an interesting character, and I look forward to finding out more about her past as well as her future in Slytherin House. I could picture her clearly in my head from your descriptions. Go, Snape! for bribing her with other libraries full of books! :) That's one thing I hope to never see changed about Hermione--her love of books and the escape they provide. I am looking forward to the next chapter and hope to see it soon. 100 points to your House! Well done! :) Author's Response: I think yours is the best review I may have ever read. Thanks so much! I'm a diagnosed Aspie (Asperger's Syndrome) myself, so the language wasn't too hard to get right. When I'm really hyper, I talk a bit like Harry too (although not much anymore, unless I'm with friends). :)
Harry is a little darling. Draco had better wise up.
