I think I can understand how people can react so strongly given that thought process. However, I have two family members that are autistic, one high functioning, the other more towards the non-verbal side of things. Does that mean that I would never want those two family members to ever fall in love? No, and I'm sure if they do it will be in their own way.

I think Daniel Tammet stated it best in Born on a Blue Day:

Falling in love is like nothing else; there isn't a right or a wrong way to fall in love with another person, no mathematical equation for love and the perfect relationship.

Sorry, I just thought it was interesting to read this response to the post.

The whole premise of the Brian/Justin story line is most definitely NOT based on illegal love and sex. Justin was 17-1/2, which is a minor as far as voting, getting married, getting drafted, being considered a legal adult, etc. goes, but he was over the age of consent for sex, which is 16 in Pennsylvania.

That 29 to 17 age difference still may be squicky to some, but it wasn't ever illegal and Justin was in no way coerced.

I absolutely support the right of people who have mental/emotional challenges to find love and get married or live however they choose in that love relationship.

My comment referred specifically to that fic and the serious eyebrow raising (at the least) that it engendered. To keep it about fic, jans_intentions wrote a fic about Brian suffering a brain injury. Justin moved back from NYC to Britin to care for him and he definitely has residual issues. They resumed, after awhile, their sexual relationship. That's a much different scenario, IMO, than Kiss Me All Right.

And people can write and read whatever they want, most definitely. I was just pointing out that some people equally strong opposing viewpoints on that fic. I've never heard of any other fic getting so much attention due to subject matter.

I've seen plenty of fanfic that caused major drama over the years, so I shouldn't have been as surprised as I was when I first read your comment. I've seen some pretty squicky things in fanfic, so hearing that reaction to an Autistic!Justin gave me a moment of 'what...' (I also remember hearing about that jans_intentions story.)

[court1429.livejournal.com]

Prolly so. I've only ever been in this fandom so that was the first time I'd ever heard of a fic topic getting that much attention.

Squicks, like kinks, are very much a personal reaction, no different than preferences in taste or smell, IMO.
