I was diagnosed with ASD In the latest year, as I was attending Therapy session for Depression and the topic came out during one of the sits (I was suspecting to have BPD, but later tests proved ASD instead, and was theorized in my family over the years).
This discovery, and further investigation toward many behaviour to me normal but that for many were "Odd"... or assumed was just bad behaviour... Did in part influenced the characterization of Alfredo, and his Foil, the Chancelor Right, both are in the ASD, both are either seen as Odd by their peers, or misunderstood, especially Alfredo, who is part also of his "Coming of Age" Journey, which will have many obstacles, because, like Me, He does not think to do bad things or inapropriate one, He just don't get them at face value, there always have to be someone to tell Him, altough, in the worst way, like a critic, like He is just a bad kid... but while Alfredo have someone to also help him in his upbringing (In a waay), the chancellor is the opposite, He just goes on his way and don't listen to no one else, convinced of being... "Right" Badum Tsss... Thus, never try to change, always trying to keep his routine, to enforce the right "Order" in everything... the Empire as well, if not, the world!
Also, being ASD in a way affected my creative process, because when I write, what I'm more careful are DETAILS... If I noticed something either makes a plot hole, or don't make sense in later parts, I halt the writing and revision, and go back to try to fill the gaps, by "Entering my own world", and from the Character perspective, their habits, their sorrounding (Such as Trains schedules... if someone remember and old Thread of mine), and their world, I try to find that element that makes the thing "Work"... It may take quite a while, and sometime lead to blocks, but when I'm satisfied, I go like a rocket (An Example, Recently there is a Character that is supposed to be introduce later, but was name dropped in the latest episode... but recent development of the main story writing lead me to change Her race and surname, in order to fit Her character better... It was originally supposed to be another Marocca, "Frog Woman", but since I didn't introduced many Main harpies Character rather than just one, I've decided to turn her into a... "Magpie" type Harpy... Not gonna tell why thou)... But one thing is sure, Once something is in comic form, that is official and decided.
It's not easy though working when you overfocus on the littlest details, sometime it became so stressful that you just want to procrastinate.
