Have there ever been any truly autistic anime characters? Not

That one girl from Gundam Zeta.

>>158175148
Akko from LWA.

>>158175148
Actual autism is a meme though. It doesn't exist.

>>158175148
I always considered Shirou from Fate to be autistic. The guy remembers swords down to the tiniest details even there are tens of them flying faster than the speed of a bullet, and he also gets so into the concept of Justice that he blocks everything else out at times, even when it's inappropriate.

>>158175303
And then he fucks the King of England.

Constanze's more autistic, and even then it's probably moreso that she's just mute.
Akko is just retarded. Magically retarded because of Chariot.

The MC (Idaho?) from Aldnoah.Zero was on the high-functional end of the autism spectrum, but he was there nonetheless.

>Actual Autism
That does not exist, autism is a digusting conspirancy, "if you don't act like all the normalfags then you have a mental illness"

>>158178959
I know this is no place for this discussion, but autism should not be considered a mental illness. It is a simple neural abnormality and they used to just call it "kind of weird guy".
Some super-autists have to be institutionalized because they do not function, but most are just kind of weird and that should be okay. Diagnosing young children is kind of weird though, all kids under 16 act like they are on the spectrum.

Would you consider DenpaOnna and Haruhi as autistic? Also, every cast of Haganai except, maybe, Kodaka and Maria Onee?

>>158179479
Being "weird" is not enough to be diagnosed as autistic, despite what Tumblr may think. And no, most of them aren't okay. Even the among aspies, who are high-functioning compared to most autists, 80% are chronically unemployed and barely capable of independent adult life.

>>158179479
>children under 16 should not be diagnosed
I disagree. Getting treatment to autistic children when they're young can make a major difference in their development later in life.

>>158180151
Why do people on tumblr want to be autistic? I get that we use it as a self-deprecation thing around here, but they seem to be proud of it.

There are some theories that this guy has PTSD-induced autism. It would explain a lot.

Wonderweiss from Bleach.

>>158180151
Source? I totally believe you, but the media's really pushing the whole "you can be successful too" to autists, so I've got my doubts.

>>158182762
>certain kinds of autism make you more skilled in certain things
This is such shit. At best it gives you an advantage in remembering trivia on a single (usually useless) topic. If Einstein was autistic, his genius had nothing to do with it.

>>158175148
satania and umaru

>>158183249
>the media's really pushing the whole "you can be successful too" to autists

That's not wrong. People with lighter forms of autism can, through mental effort, learn/simulate enough social behaviors to be functional, so motivation is important. If I were told "You're mentally ill and cannot live like a normal person" and stopped trying, I probably would've been a Chris-chan tier failure by now.

The use of "autism" as an insult on 4chan seem to have made the word meaningless. Almost nothing in this thread goes beyond "cute cartoon quirks" into "actual medical condition" territory.

>Academic studies on global employment rates for adults with autism do not exist, but the UN estimates that 80% do not work. A survey by Britain’s National Autistic Society, a charity, suggests that only 12% of higher-functioning autistic adults work full time. For those with more challenging forms of autism, only 2% have jobs.
Finding precise statistics can be tough because many studies lump the whole ASD spectrum together, but it is understood that chronic unemployment is a huge problem for this group. Some statistics for autists are even worse than for people with Down syndrome for example.
>Another study by some of the same researchers showed that 70 adults with Down syndrome enjoy higher levels of independence, more social opportunities and receive more services compared with 70 adults who have autism.
>Although only 5 percent of the Norwegian population as a whole receives this pension, 89 percent of individuals with autism in the new study receive it, as do 72 percent of the PDD-NOS group.

If it's any consolation, >>158184008 is right. With enough motivation and persistence, you can improve your life significantly even though it might never be completely normal. I'm so emotionally stunted I don't even how friendship and romantic attraction is supposed to work (I've never felt either), but I've learned enough to hold down a job and live a fairly content life.

>>158189068

>>158189629
I act competently normal, and I pretend to have friends (as is, I pretend to be friends with people at work, but I really don't give a shit about them), and I have no interest is dating or romance at all. I'm not totally sure what it's like to feel most emotions like anger, jealously or offence, I also don't know what love is like, not even for family members. When my grand parents died I didn't react in the slightest and my parents thought it was strange.

I've come to realize I'm just a sociopath. Autism is not the only thing that can lead to no friends or romantic relationships.

As an actual autist this thread offends me

Remember when autists were just weirdos who needed a good beating to correct their behavior?
