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?
