Considering 1.5% of america is autistic there has to be at least on autistic superhero.
What would his daily crime fighting life like?
He would be making shitty threads on /co/
Are you a super hero OP?
>>83527352
What do you mean? all capes are autistic.
If you want certified 100% true and honest autism theres always chris chan.
>>83527352
I think a better question would be, who is this autist heroes arch nemises
>>83527352
He usually spends his time not knowing shit about how antibodies work and making his wife wonder why she stays with him.
>>83527368
Kek
>>83527408
Is Chris a superhero?
>>83527352
The Question could be autistic
Maybe Rorschach on top of all the other things wrong with him
Solomon Grundy isn't exactly a hero, but he has autistic tendencies
So Bruce is the 1% in more than one way.
>>83527428
I'm still mad.
>>83527352
Reed Richards is autistic.

>>83527352
Technically speaking everyone has autism to a certain degree in a specific area.
His archenemy would be a giant face that never loses eye contact with him.
>>83527352
He would spend a lot of time alone isolated from other people allowing maybe one close friend or a paternal figure occasionally, pretend to be social as his public identity, obsess over a thematic adding it to every thing and naming all his things on it with a touch of paranoia while fighting other deranged people.
What about the Sentry?
>>83527425
small talk and physical contact.
>>83527609
>Not Gregarious Man
>Helmet wearing autist by day
>By night he becomes Captain Nyughem
>Patrolling his block in case something happens
>Arch enemy is Tyrone, an old senile black man who sits at home and ocassionally goes out to get his paper
>Nyueghyem screams everytime there is danger
>he has yet to return home
>he is autistic
Carnage Man
>>83527352
Reed Richards doesn't actually fight that much crime. He's mostly concerned with science and keeping the world from being destroyed.
>>83527464
could be the fact that he's a zombie instead of autism
>>83527836
>Inventing a cure for autism
>Implying that having autism is not being sound of mind
How did this slip under the radar? I'm sure that if the media found out the outrage would have been tremendous.
I think autism might be a bit too over-diagnosed.
>>83527368
>>83527434
Depends of what you consider a hero, and what you consider super.
By some definitions chris chan could be considered a superhero, by sane definitions he is a sociopathic mary sue.
>>83527887
SJWs don't actually read comics. Let alone ones based on properties not owned by Disney/Marvel.
>it's a /co/ doesn't actually read comics episode.
>>83527892
I think it is a bit too over-self-diagnosed.
>>83527428
>He usually spends his time not knowing shit about how antibodies work
what?
>>83527947
He is a villain.
>It's an anon can't read a complete sentences episode
>>83527943
Also, they have no power, and have only existed for 4 years anyway.
>>83527947
I didn't know person of color manta had autism.
>>83527986
>Black Manta.
>villain.
>It's an anon proves he doesn't read comics episode.
>>83527991
For something that have no power sure the cartoon industry changed a lot in the last 10 years.
>>83527892
>>83527352
a lot of things seem kind of overdiagnosed, especially for kids.
1.5% seems awfully high. the only person I ever met who I knew for a fact was autistic was a kid who never did any work in class and was obsessed with trains.
I mean I know it's a "spectrum" but there seems to be a huge gap between that and someone who might just be socially awkward.
>>83527887
Are you autistic? Because I am and I don't find that line offensive.
People should have the option to change things they don't like about themselves.
>>83528075
>was obsessed with trains
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHkKJfcBXcw
>>83528075
I guess you don't see as many because most of them don't go out much and the more severe cases don't even go to school.
>>83528029
>I make the sun rise.
Enough.
>>83528075
>I mean I know it's a "spectrum" but there seems to be a huge gap between that and someone who might just be socially awkward.
It's just a difference in priorities; I COULD try to be more social, but I just don't want to. Maybe other people have some natural urge to be liked? I just don't give a fuck about playing games in being accepted by other people, and for some reason other people are offended. It isn't that I am incapable, it's just that being sociable is one giant lie and I want no part of it.
From my perspective, networking and making pretend-friends to benefit my career is just dishonest. But it seems most people who aren't me don't see it as lying.
>>83528224
Well you're doing a great job at whatever your goal is right now.
>>83528123
The thing is that autism is aa brain condition, not an actual illness. I don't find it particularly offensive, but It is akin to saying something like "I'm trying to find a cure to homosexuality". I agree that people should be able to change things about themselves that they don't like but society is so sensitive nowadays that the mere implication of a condition like autism being bad can trigger the masses.
>>83528271
>Well you're doing a great job at whatever your goal is right now.
Well maybe that's what autism is; people like me don't need to be anonymous on a messagew board to actually act like ourselves. You other people wear masks in your day to day and only bitch and moan on the internet where people don't know you. We Autists have no need to be anonymous to act like what we really are.
>>83527950
>>83528075
It's tricky, because on one hand, it could be lazy parents and pill pushers making deals that exploit maybe weird but rather typically-functioning kids
But on the other hand, disorders and defects and syndromes and what have you were all but shoved under the rug until fairly recently. Nobody fuckin talked about them. So Autism statistics got cracked open a little bit when people actually began acknowledging and classifying the disease, but over time, more was understood about it and therefore diagnoses were more prevalent.
>>83527425The Joker
>>83528395
Or the internet is like an acquired brain injury, and we're all a little retarded when we're here.
>>83528395
>You other people wear masks in your day to day
Not necessarily. One's persona isn't in essence a mask, but could merely be a single element of one's supposed self. There's not really a separation of the "true self" from the "mask," the mask is simply an element of the true self. One acts differently around one's parents than they do around their friends, and again differently around one's significant other. They don't necessarily act in a false manner in any of the given scenarios, but each brings out a different element in one's person. The difficulty lies not in wearing the mask, but in understanding each persona as an element of one's "true self." It's a composite image.
>>83528551
>One acts differently around one's parents than they do around their friends, and again differently around one's significant other.
Well that's the thing; I DO NOT do this. I act the same no matter who I am with. I might respect or disrespect someone depending on who they are, but I never pretend to be what I am not.
>>83528457
What I meant by >>83527950
is that autism is not being over-diagnosed, at least not in a sensible way. But people claiming to be autistic to demand special treatment are pretty common specially in certain internet communities.
>>83528224
Why do you care about being honest with a bunch of lying asshats? You don't. But you also lack the ability to play the game, not just the desire. Be honest with yourself.

I know the game, but I want no part of it. To be able to say what I know isn't true, or pretend I like someone when I don't, is the game. I don't want anything to do with that. If I want to lie, I want to lie to gain something specific. I don't want to be liked as a goal in itself just for lying to someone.
>>83528022
Lex, please go. Also purple looks horrible on you!
>>83528706
You are lying right now.

>You are lying right now.
In what way? Do tell.
>>83528776
Oh, I get it. You are now accusing me of being inferior, for being incapable of being as good at being lying sacks of shits like the rest of you? That I am only being honest because I suck? That I am a bad person for being honest?
Yeah, I see your angle. Whatever that makes you feel better.
>>83527947
You can't be black and have autism at the same time.
>>83527561
this
>>83528604
Acting differently is not the same as "pretending to be what you're not," though. If one is rowdy and rough with one's friends and gentle and cuddly with their significant other, that doesn't mean they're "pretending" in either case. It's simply a reaction to one's external stimuli as defined by how they perceive themselves in relation to the same. The "self" only really exists in relation to what's outside of itself and we define ourselves in relation to the world around us. The self is malleable and changes all the time; to insist that it's somehow static and never changes at all, to the point where one implies or outright states that others who do so are in someway pretending, is just incorrect.
>>83528604
That's not what he's saying though. People aren't simply pretending, they just are that way. The reason it would feel like pretending to you is for the very reason you feel you don't need to.
>>83528814
One man's lie may be another's truth. You think that because you'd be lying if you act a certain way, that all that act that way are liars.
She have autism
>>83528984
>One man's lie may be another's truth. You think that because you'd be lying if you act a certain way, that all that act that way are liars.
One man's lie is another's truth. But one man's lie cannot be that SAME man's truth. You know very well what is or isn't a lie according to yourself. Relativity doesn't work on an individual basis.
>>83529017
If she doesn't smell, I'd hit it anyway.
>>83528944
>But I am not going to change depending on who I am talking to
Except you very likely do, albeit in a much more subtle and probably more honest way than Secretary Clinton. One doesn't really think of themselves as playing the part of anyone other than themselves at any time; normally this is just the outside observer who notices. It doesn't have to have as sudden a shock as the frat brother who becomes the philosopher-poet; often it's a more subtle shift, like the friend who becomes a lover. Have you ever observed a friend around their significant other? That's not necessarily a lie, just another facet of one's self. Same for the philosophizing frat brother. Different scenarios render different results; all are truth.
To bring this back to the board topic: Both Clark Kent and Kal-El are the dominant/true persona. Neither is an act.
>>83529198
But Bruce Wayne is most certainly an act.
>>83529239
Bruce Wayne is an act, but it's a wonderfully overdone act. We know that he's acting, and so does he, so he purposefully goes overboard with it.
>>83529075
I would wash her and clean every nook and cranny
New Squirrel Girl is most definitely autistic. It's sad really. They're trying to please these SJWs who have actually started a movement calling for "neurodiversity" where people with mental illnesses are accepted and embraced instead of looking for a cure. They call Autism Speaks and other groups looking for cures "hate groups" calling for genocide of autistic people.
>>83529568
You are just afraid of needles.
>>83527964
A few years back during the end of Spider-Island, Reed Richards developed a cure for the spider virus via the near-magical antibodies of the Anti-Venom, stripping Eddie Brock of the pseudo-symbiote in the process.
Only, the explanation given was completely bullshit. Due to how antibodies work, he would have only needed a large sample at the most, not the entire thing. So instead of being the usual pseudoscience used in comics, it's a transparent poorly thought out last minute excuse to depower Eddie Brock. Again.
>>83527425
Norman the Normie.
>>83527352
Assuming he's like other heroes, except for the autistic part?
Never talks, socially inept. Comes off as cool because he never talks and just gets the job done, but he doesn't talk often because he knows that the second he does things go downhill pretty fast and that mystique he built up suddenly shatters as its revealed he's an idiot. Occasionally he thinks he trusts someone enough to speak up, but it goes downhill pretty fast regardless. So mainly just goes along with the mysterious costume and persona so he has an excuse to never talk that often.
Very methodical and good at solving mysteries, but if he was ever framed for some villains activities, its unlikely he could clear himself due to sucking at social norms and explaining himself.
>>83530799
That doesn't sound too bad, actually. Almost like an inverse Spider-Man.
Wait a minute... Inverse Spider-Man? Holy shit, is Kaine autistic?

I get that this is a joke, but it's a shame how some people actually believe that if X% of the population is GROUP, then at least X% of everything should include GROUP, or some kind of active discrimination is taking place.
Which, you know, is exactly why the NBA is 77% white. Because that's how it works.
Anyhow, an autistic superhero would probably never progress his origin story past finding out he has a fortress of solitude.
