How does a powerful warrior symbolize autism? I don’t get it…

Oh man…are you just chasing flags, because you know you will get flagged. Not by me though. No I will pull out a chair and watch and eat this popcorn :popcorn:

It just hurts at this point.

How long do you have to sit there and force your your brain to say. “Heheh this will be funny” before you post it?

I’ve seen many strange threads on GD… but this just might take the cake.

Autism isn’t visual for most people. They’d be more like a very intelligent, reclusive wizard than a warrior.

Idk that one I read a few weeks back requesting from Blizz to give the ability to impregnate their character was a pretty bad one. :face_vomiting:

Yeah… that sounds pretty weird too. I suppose the OP of that thread should go play Sims instead :woman_shrugging:

Was tested for autism, they decided I couldn’t join the club. I have a friend with an autistic brother who’s medium-functional I guess, just needs someone there.

All that said, while I do understand autism to a degree (was called it as a pejorative clear back in high school so you bet I read up on what it was) I’m not sure how it would best be portrayed in a positive light. I have my own different mental issues so I’m behind the idea, us non-normies need our time too, I’m just not sure what specific dialogue or actions would qualify as inherently “autistic.”

That would be more of a stereotypical depiction and an unflattering one.

It’d depend on where the character was on the spectrum. There are highly successful autistic people, those that need help, and a lot in between.

I remember that one. Someone bumped it after like 2 months and brought that monstrosity back to the front page

Blizz should’ve banished it to the void forever

And set it on fire
