==Characters==
=== Main Characters ===
Maraya - the main character of the series. She is a 15-year-old autistic and obsessive compulsive girl who is the youngest sister of Haley. She has an anthropomorphized computer and dog that help her on her adventures in each episode. She is the one who seeks viewers' help to say a magic spell in order to get Ruff to come to life. She also wears different colored t-shirts with white pajama pants in almost every episode. When she's not wearing her pajamas, she wears her "regular clothes".
Maraya's Computer - an anthropomorphized computer that Maraya has. It is said in the show that her computer is "supportive". The computer that Maraya owns has moving arms and wings, but not legs. It also doesn't talk. She takes it everywhere she goes. This is where Ruff comes out of so he can help Maraya out on something. The computer is a black tablet with no case on.
Ruff - a special anthropomorphized dog who helps Maraya in every episode of the series. He is about the same height, except for that he is a few inches taller than her. When she needs his help, he pops out of her computer to come to life and help her. Mentioned in the series, it says that Ruff acts like an OT (occupational therapist), speech therapist, psychologist, and service dog but is actually a special ed teacher. He is just like his real look from another show because in all the other series he appeared on, he was small in Maraya's imagination. He is an orange dog who has hovering eyebrows and wears glasses. He appears in every episode.
=== Secondary Characters ===
Haley - Maraya's older 17-year-old sister who appears in some episodes of the series. She first appeared in the episode "Meeting Ruff".
Ryan - Maraya and Haley's dad. He probably is never seen in the series but his voice is heard throughout the series.
Debbie - Maraya and Haley's grandma. She also appeared in the first episode "Meeting Ruff".
Steve - Maraya and Haley's grandfather. He first appeared in the episode "Meeting Ruff".
==Why the Creator Called It Like That ==
"My Better Autistic Life" is a series that teaches lessons and skills for autistic children. Why the creator called the series by that name because Maraya, the protagonist of the show, has autism and teaches children who are on the autism spectrum. But sometimes, Maraya's beloved helper, Ruff, teaches the kids about how it's like to live with autism. Maraya also has a beloved computer that helps her on her adventures like Ruff. In the series, Maraya's Computer and Ruff both help Maraya with her autism.
==Synopsis==
​In every episode of the show "My Better Autistic Life", it starts by taking place at a certain setting (usually Debbie's house or Maraya's house). As the scene zooms in, Maraya is seen doing something. Then she greets by saying "Oh, hi, viewers!", but in episodes like "Trying Mashed Potatoes", "Minding My Manners", and other episodes where Maraya is not in her bedroom, doing nothing, a problem can already arise compared to other episodes like "Trying Bananas", "Sharing", and etc. after Maraya greets her viewers and decides to do something else. Usually when there are things that Maraya has to do, she has a "problem" and needs some help. And after she always says that, she would sometimes think of who can help and gets an idea of getting Ruff for help. Then, she seeks help from her viewers to say the magic spell that will make Ruff come to life. Then after Maraya (and the viewers) say the magic spell, some purple magic dust comes out of the computer screen and then when Ruff starts to come out of the computer, he is flying with some of the magic dust spinning around him like a tornado. Then Ruff, who's one of Maraya's beloved helpers, comes out of the computer, lands on the floor, and greets Maraya by saying hi or hello (see Ruff's catchphrases). After that, he asks Maraya what she needs help with today. Sometimes, Maraya and Ruff would talk about Maraya's problem before Ruff says that he will be able to help her. Ruff is known to help out Maraya's autism in a fun way so that autistic children can be taught and entertained in a fun way. Some fun ways that Ruff helps with Maraya's problems are songs, techniques, and more. Somehow it is seen in some episodes that Maraya can be pretty helpless and act like a baby because Ruff does everything for her and Maraya can't take care of herself. He helps and helps Maraya lots until he proves that Maraya can improve her new skills in autism (some episodes). After Maraya's improved her new skills in autism in front of Ruff, then Ruff tells Maraya that "he's got to go". In every episode when Maraya hears Ruff say that to her, she gets sad because she doesn't want to be separated from him. So they do their farewell by telling each other goodbye twice, then Ruff disappears and hops back into Maraya's computer. After their farewell, Maraya also thanks the viewers for helping her have "a better autistic life".
==Canceled Spinoff==
In September 2016, the creator was going to make a spinoff series called "My Better Autistic Life: Better School Days", a series about Maraya continuing her sophomore year at Northgate but in a special education class taught by Ms. Martin and Ms. Sherrit along with her two helpers, her computer and Ruff. But because it resembled the previous series, the six episodes from that series were moved from the new spinoff back to the previous series where they are just extra episodes instead. Later in April 2017, the canceled spinoff was recreated to a new series called "My School Life" where her computer and Ruff are no longer her helpers and are replaced by Ms. Carolyn instead, who is her new bus driver that takes her to school and her new house in Firethorne.
