I'm so glad that autists are represented in Pokemon.

What? There's nothing autistic about Red.

>>31977229
Well, he is an avatar for you, anon.

>>31977231
He was. He no longer is.

He's autistic.

>>31977209
I'm glad he's the only canon main character.

Those are both fun things. Nothing autistic about doing fun things.

>>can't keep a normal conversation
He just has a quiet personality. He's still maintained an almost 20 year old friendship. I'd say he's pretty good at holding conversations.

It's not that he's doing it, it's that he obsesses over it.
>If there’s one thing everyone knows about people with autism, it’s that they can often be single-minded. It is true that most people on the spectrum have a tendency to get very, very interested in their particular subjects.

Doesn't Blue comment on how he's as silent as ever when you meet them by the Battle Tree?

Kill yourself, my husband is a hunk not autistic.

No more than anyone else does? He's still just traveling as a Trainer. Everyone in Pokemon world does that.

>Doesn't Blue comment on how he's as silent as ever when you meet them by the Battle Tree?
Yes, that's what I meant by "quiet personality". He doesn't talk a lot, maybe just in front of strangers, but he has a quiet personality. Doesn't mean he never talks.
