My 17 year old autistic brother wants me to proofread his autism dragon story. Should I be honest with him?

Yes it is, he won't let me proofread until after he has posted it. I don't really know why.

First thing I thought of, thought he was trolling me because it's just like the other pasta.

the prose is actually quite good

a shame the actual narrative is likely utter rubbish

You can be honest without being cruel. Just do that, it won't help him if you don't tell him how to improve

honestly - it depends. how 'autistic" is he? what can he handle / comprehend? use that as your gage. also, lit is filled with fucked up writing full of 'errors' to depict how people are, from Twain and beyond. use that as a guide as well. get an illustrator and i bet that shit will sell more copies than your book.

This poor kid opened up to you and you've posted it here for attention from strangers. Disgusting. I hope he never finds out and can unironically enjoy writing whatever he wants.

Sounds like your brother is confessing to being a homosexual. This seems extremely autobiographical, except for some reason he's an anthropomorphic dragon who went to kindergarten, middle school, high school, etc.

It accurately reflects how alien the experience is coming to terms with being both autistic and homosexual. It's not just any great and terrible monster.
