Contesting the removal of this entry:
- "Hide": Episode of the anthology series Two Sentence Horror Stories. A nanny defends herself and an autistic girl from a home invasion.
Edit reason was "One-off characters don't count."
It is an anthology series, so each episode is a standalone story with no connection to any other episodes. Basically, it is a page for a short story in a short story collection.

Why do we have a page that's just a list of 'works with an autistic character', with almost no context for most of them? It doesn't really seem like a trope.

Should Wax and Wayne and Stormlight Archive be separate examples, or should they both be lumped under The Cosmere? As far as I can tell, they aren't connected aside from being part of The 'Verse. What should the solution be?
I found these lists of autistic books, if anyone wants to help go through them for examples:

all the "was confirmed to be autistic" and similar phrasings are quite useless if they don't include the actual source (actually, most of this page boils down to "trust me bro", especially for characters whose autism is not mentioned in the work they appear in. that doesn't mean that most of these characters aren't autistic, because the vast majority are, just that the lack of sources means nobody can verify anything—which is especially problematic given the amount of misinformation floating around about autistic characters)
