| Are you insecure about the way you talk or the way your voice sounds? |

| Do people notice there's something "odd" about you? Are you able to conceal your aspie-ness? And, most importantly, do you care? I could act "normal" if I wanted to, but why should I change myself to seek the approval of others? Hell, I don't even WANT the approval of others. I used to act like a to... |

I sure hope so. No autism-related game is complete without at least 5 trains. |

We don't know yet, but it will most likely be download-only. So you'll probably need Steam, unfortunately. |

| I'm presuming you have a language impairment? If that's the case, you're probably better off not talking into your mic. The people on online games are, generally speaking, infamous for their crass immaturity and for behaving like drunken, ret*d 3-year-olds - especially on generic FPS games like Call... |

| I see no reason to further discuss that topic. And why exactly should a player feel more guilty sending an "autistic" child off to complete a dangerous task as apposed to a "normal" child Oh, gee, I dunno - because she's disabled, perhaps? Like it or not, an autistic child would be much less able t... |

| I was talking about control of the actual GAMEPLAY, not the story and the emotions it triggers in the player. Obviously, the character being autistic is going to add to the guilt that the player feels when sending her out into dangerous situations, and will also add a level of depth and mysteriousne... |

| According to Wikipedia Miyamoto was Tajiri's mentor back in the 1990s. It appears that Tajiri has great respect for Miyamoto. There are also references to both of them in the Pokemon anime series. It's possible that knowing Tajiri might have influenced Miyamoto when he was producing some of his gam... |

| The "silent protagonist" is a classic video game archetype; countless games have main characters that never utter a single word. It's doubtful that these characters were intended to be autistic, but many of them do indeed act like it. The creator of Pokemon had aspergers, so who knows? I do think it... |

| According to my GP, I can not be an Aspie because I do not conform to his ideas (stereotypes) of how an Aspie should behave: I do not wet the bed, play with fire, or torture animals. Where in the flock do people get these weird stereotypes? I thought those were meant to be red flags for psychopathy... |
