Oh my God NOOOOOOO!!

Okay, to anyone listening! Any neurotypical, allistic, just altogether not autistic people.

Don’t beat around the bush when you talk a loud autism. Please. I know people do this because they are afraid to sound ableist, but being afraid to write down the words “is autistic” makes you sound worse. I love this game but this is a perfect example of how well-intentioned writers end being offensive by doing that.

Also, note the use of past-tense. There’s no “had autistic tendencies.” Autism is something people are born with, and they either are autistic (meaning in the autism spectrum) or they are not.

What the writer’s are trying to go for here is that the character Artem is referring to was once non-verbal and used their special interest as a replacement for social relationships, but after gaining a social relationship, he became more verbal, even while maintaining his special interest.

But you can just phrase it like that—regardless of the neurotype of the character. Because phrasing it like this—

—makes it sound like his girlfriend somehow cured his “autistic tendencies.” Which is a way more offensive way to write it.

If the character is autistic and became more verbal after meeting someone, say that. If a character is not autistic, do not refer to their non-verbality, or shyness as “autistic tendencies.”

The first is because a lot of eugenicist and hate group arguments for our abuse as autistic people is centred in an imaginary “cure.” (Which is impossible, as curing a person of autism is as unnatural as curing a person of red hair. It’s a trait from birth.) So framing autism in the past tense, or hinting that something could make someone “less” autistic, not the best.

The second shouldn’t be done because the “isn’t everyone a little autistic” or “this thing about me is so autistic” in reference to a person’s interests or shyness, etc., contribute to the downplaying of autistic people’s experiences. For example, it supports the kind of things we hear—usually in the context of superiors making excuses not to give us our mandated accommodations—like “you don’t need to go to a separate room for a while, you’re just shy,” or “you don’t need this re-explained to you, you’re just forgetful.” Framing neurotypical experiences in comparison to autism does not accomplish the goal of emphasizing your experience, but only of diminishing the reality of our own in the long term, by associating our symptoms with your everyday.

Anyways, still playing this game. I just have noticed that this is a common issue I see in a lot of media written by non-autistic folks trying to speak sensitively. So I thought I would use it as a good-will example of how to successfully write with sensitivity, rather than just trying to write with it by beating around the bush.

Don’t worry Artem. I won’t hold it against you, bud.

(Especially since he and Marius are both way closer examples of how I experience autism than I think their writers realize XD)
