I don't remember any autistic character from anything before Kuroneko from Oreimo.
Was this the start of the trend?
The worst was from the Chuunibyiou anime.
I really don't like of this kind of character.

Anime as a concept started it.

>what started this autism trend
Autism, of course.
????????????
Kuroneko is chuuni, not autist. Big difference.

chuunis are autists by default
What is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Alex?

But chuuni is something that can be grown out of, while autism is a permanent affliction.

Too close to home, eh?
Chuu2 girl started it
Karen, Megumeme and Fuu are just the more blatant daughters

Darkest corner of the internet
Should have been obvious.
