this is an interesting insight!-i'm potentially on the spectrum (never diagnosed or anything), due to heritage and having a finger in every pie when it comes to spectrums; i appreciate the feedbackThis is really well done though I will have to say that trying to give a character autism would be quite the challenge as... the thinking is different and the actions are different, but not entirely. From my experience (Being diagnosed with what used to be called asperger syndrome and is now mild autism) the biggest difference is the thoughts you ahve about your actions. Whereas many people are more inclined to have a sort of suspension of disbelief, people with autism (Mild-Moderate) tend to focus more on how it wouldn't happen/work/be realistic. (That's probably why I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut about topics that I find have flaws (no matter how slight and ignorable they may be) and when it gets more severe, you tend to notice the world less except for personal guidelines set for you repeatedly, no matter how weird they may seem (There's a book called "Rules" that addresses this topic very well.) It would certainly be interesting to see a character with a higher level, though still functioning, of autism... but I highly doubt it would be done well to be honest, especially since it would be really boring to play due to the more isolationistic style of those diagnosed with autism.
lmaoYou know what? I'm gonna be here for a little, and I have a gift.
