I haven 't seen this yet And I never will, because I'm a fucking adult and don't watch see-same street but if she doesn't just sit there, silently in the corner, and fly into an uncontrollable rage and start beating the shit out of the kids every time something changes in her general vicinity, I will be very disappointed

>>82462721
The whole idea of bringing a character with autism seems like a weird choice. Muppets are known for being light-hearted comedy and adressing a real life issue of this caliber does not fit the atmosphere of wackyness and slapstick. The problem with the character is that she will be the precious little angel of the crew. She would not get a cream pie in the face, she would not be blown up, anvils won't fall on her head. She will be safe from any kind of negative experience. When she is present, she will be inevitable centre of attention, and the fact of her ilness will create invincible barriers of how other character will behave.
And the fact that muppets can be ill in a non-comedic, realistic way brings a element of drama in a comedy series about sentient puppets.
>>
>>82462721
Aside from the lack of violent tantruming that actually seems pretty accurate.

Autism is a catchall bullshit diagnosis perpetuated by these spectrum faggots. It's like Fibromuhgubmintmunnie and 'depression'.

Remember that time Snuffleupagus used to be Big Bird's imaginary friend but they ended up turning him into a real character so that children who were victims of sexual or domestic abuse wouldn't feel ashamed or silenced by being told they had overactive imaginations when they reported someone hurting them?

I like it a lot honestly. It makes a lot more sense to introduce kids to these varying weird things and people early rather than have them be blindsided by them later. And I know the /pol/tards here will disagree with me but it's true. Trying to keep kids in a sanitized Tupperware container until they're 25 with no idea about reality just leads to dysfunctional shut-ins...just like most of the people who post on 4chan.
>>
>>82465012
It wad for the African version of Sesame Street, because being a kid with HIV was (still is? I dunno) a legitimate possibility there.
>>
>>82464652

Aspie here and I can confirm.

I don't do it for no reason though. I've only lashed out to people who bully me for a while and ignoring them doesn't work the first times. The teachers always took my side because of my autism.

>>
>>82462721
I dunno. She's cute, and her character honestly seems benign enough. There's always the risk of this weird, cringey patronizing feeling with these kinds of things, and I feel like they mostly avoid that. I like how they have her bouncing on her toes at 1:09 and doing the flappy thing at 1:33. Nailed it with that.

The whole swinging song was fucking grating, though.

>>82464855
The addition of this character was heavily publicized and in the media. It's not gonna pull the average number of views.

>>82464564'Don't get wrapped up in categories. Of course autism and depression don't exist as "things-in-themselves." But who cares about the ontology of autism as long as it remains a useful diagnostic tool? Surely you don't deny that there's actually something wrong with people who have autism, and that getting the diagnosis is helpful for them more often than not?

Does she developed and sometimes hop from obsession to obsession? On the spectrum here, pretty much my childhood. Yes I did have a Sanic phase.

>Does she developed
Yes, she does.
>>
>>82464652
High-functioning autist who had anger issues in school, I'd say the difference between low-functioning and high-functioning lash-outs is that the latter are similar to just getting pissed-off like normal people do, but you might get frustrated more for autism-related reasons (trouble socializing, for instance). It's the difference between having fundamental cognitive issues and being someone with a short fuse.

Full disclosure: the worst of it was 9th grade, so a lot of that's just being an edgy teenager.
>>
>>82464652
True. I'm nearly 30 now though, haven't had any major breakdowns since my early 20's.

Sometimes I do wonder if the more in your face aspects of autism don't fade away as you get older. It seems to be the case for me and some others I know on the lighter end of the spectrum. Now people just think I'm an overanalyzing geeky eccentric rather than a complete spazz.
