Listen listen listen, I love that we recognize Egon and Ray as autistic as a fandom. It's wonderful. And it speaks heavily to the great representation. (Thank you Dan Akroyd.) I would be willing to bet this is because Dan himself is autistic so, y'know, hell yeah.

What I would also like to remind everyone of: Peter is also autistic?? I see him erased from the discussion so much when we start talking about neurodivergency in Ghostbusters. Bill Murray himself is diagnosed aspergers. (Yes, I am well aware this term is since outdated, but I am not a licensed psychologist so I'm not going to change the wording and risk being even more incorrect)

I don't know about you guys but does it not feel at least a little strange that the only two we see constantly recognized as autistic are the two that can best fit the wider understanding of autistic characters? This is not me saying that Egon and Ray are bad rep by any stretch. I absolutely have no problem with them and genuinely think they are good rep. My point is that the elimination of Peter form these discussions often reads, to me at least, as another form of forcing characters into boxes and having strict expectations for what an autistic character can and can't look like.

i think maybe information has been mixed up over time and lead to a sort of internet rumor about his aspergers diagnosis

I heard it was that time of year again.

Hey all! Long time, no update. I come bearing three archived fics!

A Snowball's Chance by X Parrot

New Wine by K Hanna Korossy

Willing Sacrifice by Joy Riddle

All three were released under the Just The Four of Us Fanzine series. Snowball's Chance and New Wine are both gen fics. Willing Sacrifice is still un-reviewed/un-rated.

Also linked a Fanlore Wiki on the Just The Four of Us fanzine series.
