I won't pretend to speak for everyone, but that's kind of a common symptom of autism. Which I have.

I getcha, I'm autistic too.

Raging Bolt doesn't have yellow eyes like all the other Past Paradoxes and this shouldn't annoy me as much as it does

I'm wondering how they'll work.


Will they be static encounters in Area Zero somewhere or what.

I feel like there will be one of each that you encounter during the story. So yeah, static encounters.

...Which will make Pokedex completion a *****. I hope you can catch several and they're just rare spawns

Once I buy a gift for my dad, I'll be completely done with all of my Christmas shopping.

Aren't you dating someone or am I misremembering?

 

[Shroob]

Aren't you dating someone or am I misremembering?

Just cause I am doesn't mean I don't have a mint condition V-card.


Also we're both nerds so.

As a Smogon player, VGC is such a weird Metagame. WHAT DO YOU MEAN Incineroar is a top meta threat. WHAT DO YOU MEAN nobody uses Great Tusk

Regigigas was given Slow Start to keep it from being too overpowered but at this point there's tons of Pokemon running around who are far worse. They need to just set him free already.

They shouldn't set it free cause I adore the idea of an ancient golem being groggy as **** when waking up from it's deep slumber. However, I think it would be very funny if they doubled it's stats, as a joke

 

[Aurane]

I’m not autistic. I feel like I have some form of ADHD though, I have too many symptoms for it to just be a coincidence.

I did try to get evaluated once, but the lady essentially told me I’m not ADHD I’m just stupid

ADHD and stupid are two very different things. I feel like she's trying to get you to focus on that issue pronto, like you got three days until you ****ing die, pronto.

I know they keep saying this, but I am gonna miss the BOTW/TOTK era tbh (hopefully the next chapter in the Zelda timeline is a good one)

[PeridotGX]

Not me.

I'm just regular bigender

I wasn't planning on coming out like this but I couldn't pass on an opportunity like this. Also I've had all pronouns on my page for like a year and nobody said anything about it so feel the need to call attention to it

 

[Wario Bros.]

Dialga and Palkai snagged.

Any clues on Giratina coming?

Good for you.

I got a scare today as a tornado warning was issued near where I was working. Forturnately the storm system moved away my position.

I don't understand the insane popularity of this show. It is every generic shonen put in a blender with a touch of Jojo part 1 (Read: it has the vampires and just calls them a different name) with some very cookie cutter character writing and nonexistent worldbuilding. The only thing that makes it remotely stand out is the fight animation and even then I find that's something other modern shonen do better

Yeah Demon Slayer is overrated. I only watched the first season but I can tell how generic the show actually is. Jojo is a significantly better shonen and I have only seen the first three Parts while still in the middle of Part 4.

Can I join the club?

 

[Zinith]

There's like hundreds of videos of frog sounds on Twitter and every. single. time. it's a sound I don't expect

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Can I join the club?

We welcome all autisms to the club

 

[CannonStreak]

We welcome all autisms to the club

I am autistic, too. That makes me part of the club, right?

 

[Zinith]

I don't need to declare my autism credentials. You know

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Hey, I'm autistic too. I was diagnosed with autism when I was a child.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I have aspergers, which is considered to be on the autism spectrum.

 

[Guynamednelson]

I can't tell if one of the conditions I have is either Aspergers or high-functioning autism, but I do know for sure I have OCD.

we accept you nonetheless

Does this explain why we're all still hears years after the DLC ended?

I'm still a member of the Autism Club regardless of my previous comment, I just can't tell which type.

Probably. I’m here because it’s easier to socialize on here than irl.

High functioning is an outdated and offensive term to many people now. Just warning you.

 

[Noipoi]

Or maybe, just maybe, through the ordeals of Smash Ultimate speculation, we've formed a semi-tight knit online group of Nintendo nerds who might actually consider each other...

...Friends?

Spoiler

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Truth to be told, I'm on the autism spectrum as well.

It's something I had long suspected and was previously diagnosed with well over a decade ago by my pediatrician, but only got an official diagnosis and confirmation of in my 20s. I've never really mentioned it before as by that point, I didn't think it was that big of a deal, and honestly? I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, either. I guess now just seemed like a good time to share it since so many others here are being open and casual about it.

 

[Shroob]

That's... strange. That's the term I've heard myself referred to all these years, so hearing it's deemed offensive is news to me.

 

[ZephyrZ]

That's... strange. That's the term I've heard myself referred to all these years, so hearing it's deemed offensive is news to me.

It's something a lot of young autistics are opposed to. They argue that "high functioning" autistics are often treated as superior to "low functioning" ones. But they also argue that it's used to downplay or deny the struggles of "high functioning" ones.

I have mixed fedlings with throwing out the labels entirely...but I've definitely seen nasty prejudice against "low functioning" autistics in the autism community, and I do have first hand experience in having people deny some of my specific needs as someone who is "high functioning".
