AS in Final Fantasy?

Post Reply New Topic

I just dug up Final Fantasy 7 for the first time sinse i was diagnosed with AS (i think...) and does anyone else think Clouds an aspie?

Uh, keep playing, I think you'll find that if he did have AS, its the least of his worries

lol ive completed it and i no all about his "relation" to jenova...

hahaha okay

Well in that case what makes you think hes an aspie? *is genuinely curious*

Just a feeling. Like, in his memorys of growin up, i coud empaphise completely with his feeling of isolation...

Hmm, don't remember the game too well but... that is something that is a recurrent feeling I find when I'm watching anime, japanese RPGs and other such things. I have wondered if maybe theres a higher instance of AS or OCD in Japan, but thats pretty hard to say, because from what I've read they're a culture that doesn't really believe in psychiatric evaluation or the treatment of disorders (which might explain why you hear about such f****d up s**t from over there sometimes... pardon my french)

Hmmm... you mite be onto sumat there, actaully...

(Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I would have felt equally vulnerable starting my own.)

I just recently discovered a http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/15/magazine/15japanese.html?ei=5088&en=7b1fdacbeb794332&ex=1294981200&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&pagewanted=allNew York Times article relating to hikikomori[/url] and was wondering if it was a manifestation of AS. I do have a vague memory of reading somewhere that Japan has a higher autism rate than many other countries, but apparently they do not make a connection between a clinically diagnosable condition and extremely anti-social behavior. On a related note, is the DSM IV international, or could the Japanese possibly lack a word for "Asperger's Syndrome"?



<irrelevant personal ramblings>
I want to be a hikikomori when I grow up--which might be never, since my body is eighteen and I still feel very far from the threshold of adulthood. But anyway--it sounds nice if a person can secure a means of financial support. However, my mother would not qualify, having debts of her own, and I am not feeling well suited for computer programming (being currently overwhelmed by a team project in my main programming class in college). I hope I can get a nice, predictable job on an assembly line or something and life in a cozy litte apartment in a big city where nobody has the time or justification to pay attention to strangers. I hope I can earn a good enough salary to buy the things I need (gluten, casein, hygenic supplies, video games, anime, and computer upgrades) without having to interact with anyone or go through the whole pointless charade of normality. The real world is overrated.

It's fictional. It doesn't matter if the characters have so and so conditions. It probably wasn't intended for their backstories anyway.....
