Players with disabilities, represent & share your feels!

Yes, having a disability is a negative thing.

But if someone has a disability, is it a bad thing to acknowledge it exists?

And you're pulling that half-a-quote out of context. DRKoftheAzure seemed to be saying that it's an inherently negative thing to give him that label - "let's not [do that] to our favourite characters", they said, like it's cruel to even suggest his personality traits add up to "a disability".

And again, I will argue that Asperger's is not inherently a disability, and I am certainly not proposing that he is "disabled" in any way. He just has a collection of traits including - as I said before - high intelligence and social awkwardness.

Is it a disability if it's not actually stopping him from doing anything?

I should also add that I'm not proposing he fits every point on a "textbook Aspie" description.


Oh, as a general note, also it's just clicked... Awkwardness with eye contact would totally explain his insistence on wearing opaque goggles at all times, right?

No is not bad to acknowledge it exists personally is good to talk about it without having a clown judging you because of it or making you death threads based on it, as I had in real life.
In consequence I developed a fear and often dream that have a criminal clown obsessed by my health problem.

It is also good to surround yourself with persons who do not develop superior complex towards you just because you have one disability, or remove your human side as an excuse to their crimes of hate towards you or persons with disabilities.
