it is kind of you to ask and i appreciate your consideration. i live in sweden and i was 14 when i was diagnosed, i'm 15 now. im a girl and … morei chose to do it on my own. there was only one professional who diagnosed me with it but i have met two other different therapists as well and they agree and say that i indeed have aspergers. it's weird because some people say they notice it a lot and other people say they dont notice it at all but i guess it's because they are professionals and have more knowledge about the autism spectrum. i would never have guessed that i was autistic before my diagnosis tho
this is what my autism 'chart' looks like in case yr curious !
That's the special snowflake quiz. It's an online personality quiz, not a proper method for diagnosing autism. Only psychiatrists can properly diagnose people. That quiz is tantamount to a Cosmopolitan personality quiz. Virtually zero scientific value.
The internet is filled with weirdos - this very forum's full of irritating weirdos. Although I'm quoting verbatim the nonsensical, ultra-convoluted jargon that a few people on Tumblr use, I don't find it offensive. I'm not actually a wilting flower.
Although you'd have to admit that:
Becca is a heteroromantic bisexual trans boy.
Clem is an intersex trans girl who is aromantic and gay.
Lol. Too funny. Am I the only one who's sick of the special snowflake, everyone-gets-a trophy, I-need-a-BS-pseudoclinical-name-for-everything fad that's gripped our overly PC culture?
It seems like you want people to agree with your theory just because you're autistic.
WOW really?
I agree with his/her theory because how would i know. For all i know Clementine could have HIV, or Colon Cancer, or whatever, in the end it doesn't really matter what "label" Clementine is, she is still Clementine.
We get it. You're autistic. It seems like you want people to agree with your theory just because you're autistic. You're not the only person… more with problems. I'm sorry, but you put out a ridiculous theory that there's no proof for, so of course people are going to scoff at it. If a transgender person put out a theory that Clementine is trans, they'd get the same treatment, not because they're trans, but because there is absolutely no proof of it. Being autistic does not qualify you more than anyone else here to diagnose this fictional character. I'm not trying to be harsh and I'm sorry if I come off that way, but you keep repeating yourself. Your theory isn't very strong, that's what it boils down to. You pretty much just admitted that you "headcanon" her as autistic because it makes you feel good and helps you cope, meaning that your theory is not based in reality, but in a fantasy. That's cool if you like doing that, but understand that the r… [view original content]
Good gravy! This kind of thing makes me want to throw my router and modem out the window and become one of those crazy survivalist people who live in bunkers. What happened to humanity? Where did we go wrong? Our grandparents and great-grandparents were mavericks who fought in WWII, built cars and airplanes, grew and canned their own food, and made their own clothes. People who got their hands dirty and had no time to invent a thousand different neuroses for themselves and their children. Excuse me while I go weep for my generation. If the proverbial poo ever hits the fan, we're screwed.

Sarah is a biromantic asexual cis girl.
Makes zero sense to anyone outside that bubble.

They also don't explicitly say that she has Hepatitis C, is part of the Japanese mafia, or that she had a pet unicorn. You're essentially as… moreking people to prove a negative in order to assert that she's not autistic. There is zero evidence that she's autistic and Telltale has never brought it up. It's safe to assume that she's not. No offense, but you're grasping at straws.

her walkie talkie and her hat are her comfort objects, she is quite gullible and does not now how to tell when ppl are lying
[..]
… more she stims by clutching her arms, talking to herself and covering her ears when she gets stressed or upset
[...]
she loves drawing bc when she is painting its like she gets sucked into another world
Eh, I dunno. These all seem like coping mechanisms any kid (or at least, any introverted kid) would use during a rough situation - let alone a Zombie Apocalypse. Keep in mind that she kept the Walkie Talkies because she wanted to feel close to her parents, even though she said she knew it was "just pretend."
There are scary parts of everywhere.
Need I remind you of the thread posting pictures of Gavin Hammon, worshiping him as a god, which he himself found intensely uncomfortable?

Since I did talked to him a little (business wise) I thought it wouldn't be a good idea if I was playing along in it. It was funny and well... creepy (no offence Gavinists! Don't kill me! ._.). So I just stayed out of it. It would've made any possible future encounters extremely awkward.

Unfortunately a lot of people view the suggestion that someone might have any sort of autistic spectrum disorder as an insult... (i.e., as if you called someone retarded). However, people with Asperger's syndrome tend to have above average IQs; although they usually have impaired "interpersonal intelligence".
maybe i expressed myself wrong
not exactly "fun" but refreshing
not all autistic people live miserable lives. a lot of them are able to function "normally" in society and grow up to be happy succesful people
yeah i know what you mean, but people seeing "autistic" as an insult are sadly usually very ignorant people
you're right. im an aspie but i've heard that i have good interpersonal skills but i guess it's different for everyone. autism comes in so many forms and shapes and it expresses itself in so many different symptoms and ways

Is that from an online quiz? Or did you get a proper diagnosis from a psychiatrist? Online personality quizzes aren't legitimate.

to quote Romeo and Juliet.
"What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet "
We need to get away from labels IMO.

You do realize that your pearl-clutching over-sensitivity makes you just as worthy of mockery?
He needs some alone time.
are you okay
leatherwolf89 we're cool i know you mean well
at least i'm not treating my opinion as a fact, it just makes me a bit frustrated that other people do. im not angry tho
^ thank you
yeah maybe you should i think it'd be good for you to have it checked out
yeah, i know. but my autistic headcanon clementine is also sort of a coping machine...
im both lol
It doesn't matter, the point is that people try to make something out of nothing because reasons.
did you read my original post? it says that i am professionally diagnosed
also, yes, it's an online quiz
Sarah I can see has autism, but not Clementine.
i know a lot of people who think sarah is autistic, but im autistic and i honestly cant see it... no offense tho
Yeah, we're cool.
How do you see Clem as autistic but not Sarah...
yeah I'm not reading that
LMAO why not?
because i'm autistic and i cant relate to sarah... i dont think she is autistic, i just think she has severe anxiety.
edit: doesn't mean people cant see her as autistic tho, but personally i dont see it
I think Clem got Down Syndrom..
There are scary parts of everywhere.

I don't think I ever even clicked on that thread so I don't know what was going on there.
just in case anyone's curious, i found this
its pretty damn accurate (for me at least)
lmao
edit: what? You dislike autistic ppl?

If people want to relate with a character, i don't see the harm. Short replies today, vodka hangover is really bad.

I must have assburgers, according to that list.
I'm just saying, people are quick to critisise tumblr as the home of all bad things, while ignoring the shit happening right under their nose.
...labels are pretty necessary scientifically.
