Summary
I read it again, my pointer drifting over the hyperlink. It was the same as the first time I’d read it; I didn’t know what I’d expected.
14 Historical Figures Who Were Probably Autistic (You Won’t Believe Number Twelve)
I rubbed my eyes and laughed again, this time a little lighter. Yeah, no way.
Or: Grace returns to Earth with an Eridian envoy, gets sucked into an internet rabbit hole, and discovers that he's become one of those scientists who everyone sort of just accepts was probably autistic.

Can You Open The Door, Please? by holyflyingswisscheese

Summary
“I— Yeah,” I cut whoever was speaking off, my voice sounding strange and distant, like I was hearing myself from ten feet away. “I’m fine, I just have to… I think I need… uhm…”
I was rising to my feet, then, my thoughts blurry and all over the place. As I shuffled out from under the table, I moved too fast and hit the edge of it with my knees. It was a terrible idea — pain flashed through my hips and spine without the help of my cane, which I vaguely registered leaving on the ground as I pushed away from the conference table, took one more look at the people gathered around it…
And broke out into a run.
Or: Grace returns to Earth but has trouble adapting to humans again. Humans who stare, and scrutinise, and can read his thoughts at a glance.

Summary
Okay, sure. So, there was a word for people who didn’t find other people sexy. Great. A normal word. A well-known word. And not a medical condition.
But surely whoever wrote this understood that it was an anomaly. There weren’t enough people like this to warrant a label. After all, what was the point of a human who didn’t want sex?
(What was the point of me? — I’d asked a hundred times before.)
Or: A heteronormative movie adaptation, a very weird BuzzFeed article, and an internet rabbit hole lead Grace to the discovery of a label sixty years in the making.

He does not hold himself like a hero. At first glance, it’s hard to believe that this man saved the world. But once you look closer, you come to realise how his specific brand of charm was exactly what Earth needed in its eleventh hour.
Dr Ryland Grace holds himself like a teacher.
He asks me how you’re meant to start these sorts of things, and, suddenly taken aback by the sight of him in front of me, I give it to him the only way I know how. “Tell me about life on Earth.”

The Ryland Grace Memorial Diner sat between a construction site and a cluster of small apartments on the recovering streets of San Francisco.
It was founded in 1972, renamed in 2051, and in 2053, a statue of a schoolteacher was erected within its walls. Now, it attracted tourists and students alike, bright eyes and eager minds all competing for a view of Earth’s most beloved man in man’s most beloved habitat.
Or: A look at the people of the San Fran diner Grace goes to every morning for breakfast in the book.

Eva Catharina Stratt (1981-2078) by holyflyingswisscheese

Summary
It was a modest grave. The headstone was small and understated, made of simple stone, but the quote beneath her name was undeniably expensive to carve.
I’d read somewhere that an environmentalist group raised the funds to bury her, though there was no funeral. There were no documentaries about her heroism. There were no celebrations or decorations on her grave. She had no mourners, just grateful children who saw her name in the paper and wanted to do some good.
That was ten years ago today.
Or: On the anniversary of Eva Stratt's death, a newly returned Ryland Grace visits her grave in the Netherlands.
