So Symmetra from Overwatch is officially declared autistic according

Shut the fuck up

having autism is never a good thing

>>385738219
why it makes you smart? mozart, thomas eddisson, albert einstain, and terry davis all had autism plus many more. you can add symmetra to that list now too.

DSM or whatever the fuck can't even agree on the proper definition of autism last I heard.

We happened to calling the mentally ill retarded?

They are pretty much the opposite ,People with Autism can do shit other people cant do. Retards cant do shit normal people can do!

What even is autism anymore? The new "special snowflake"?

>>385737435
How long until they add a Down syndrome character?

>>385737435
>she does a great job of representing just how awesome someone with autism can be
>awesome
More like infuriating.

>>385739150
they added a nigger

Lol, imagine how condescending this must feel for people who are autistic irl and aren't special snowflakes about it.

"Yeah, your debilitating developmental disorder that prevents you from having a normal life is AWESOME and we're gonna glorify it in our online video game!"

>>385738468
>all these dead people have autism because some psycologist said so
uh no

>>385737435
How long until having regular human beings in videogames is considered offensive?

>sexy badass woman
>autistic
Haha no.

>>385739150
Dva has been in since launch dude

>>385740520
To be honest when I heard that there was an autistic character in Overwatch my mind went straight to D.va.

It would explain why she never stops talking about video games and can pilot a mech with autistic precision.

Why does overwatch feel the need to push political agenda and muh diversity shit into their game?

>>385737435
>one of our most beloved heroes

>so autistic she refuses to be put in defence and insists she is a support

DEEPEST LORE

>>385739503

they already did that to the gays

Kek, makes sense that SJW shit wants to be SJW shit! What else is new? A big black guy?

>>385737435
>How does it feel to finally have a character you can relate to /v/?

Not really good, which makes me wonder why western liberals think you need a self insert in every game or else it's discrimination

>>385737435
Considering autistic people relate to animals more than people, I think your statement is in error.

It's literally the only selling point.

>skill ceiling so low it's next to fucking dinosaur bones
>every stand-out skill or hero is nerfed to be samey and unsatisfying
>game itself feels weightless like a unity project
>developers care more about how to design lootboxes than gameplay
>community has 0 expectations, blizzdrones will accept and defend anything
>any demands they do make is retarded, like ignoring the horrific balance and meta to rant about muh terry crews

>>385740235
Left isn't sexy though. Her ass is too big.

Is this real?

>made-up non-existing character is x

nope

>>385738759
What can an autist do that a normal person cant

>>385741446

>>385737435
>hire bland voice actor

Dropped. Sarah will always be /ourautist/

'autism spectrum' is almost pure fad over-diagnosis. the vast majority of cases are simply the pathologization being inadequately (eu)social, according the prescribing physicians personal sensibilities (generally hyper-social). there is also enormous confusion/debate (among psychologists) between autism and other disorders, in severe cases. the low and high functional levels have different theoretical underpinnings (sensation processing vs empathy) and totally fundamental diagnostic components to match. they are different 'disorders'.

among the general public, laymen, and psychology-communicators/popular-psychology enthusiasts, 'autism' is nearly synonymous 'intelligence', and thus made highly desirable. this has lead to ever-increasing overdiagnosis, as such diagnosis are actively sought out.

unless you're a mental infant who compulsively seeks to self-harm, you're not autistic.

I have no strong feelings on this matter either way.

>>385742178
What's the difference between autsim and asperger's syndrome? I knew a kid who was diagnosed with asperger's and you could clearly see he was different. Very good at mathematics, studying university level stuff at the age of 13, but had some weird symptoms sometimes such as being very annoyed at noisy places.

>>385742228
This, you dumb fucking nigger OP, and the rest of you faggots in this thread

>>385737435
>talks about spectrums
>obsessed with symmetry for some reason
>even outright says it in a comic

Take it from autists not to see something they were saying with the subtlety of a brick through a window.

>>385742886
was Symmetra not a rank not a obsession ?

>>385741681
>t. Patrick Henry McFlaggigan

Reminder that autism is NOT a spectrum.
Reminder that autism is to the 2010's what ADHD was to the 1990's/2000's.

>>385744202

this, so much this

>>385744202
What exactly was ADHD to the 1990s?

>>385744995
Any kid that was considered "disruptive" (which is a fancy way of saying "acts like a kid") was diagnosed with ADHD and put on Adderall. Just hope your kid does good in school or Mr. Shekelstein will rewire his brain with medications.
