Nemona from Pokemon is actually autistic. I am in shock and awe. They don't use the exact word "autistic" (its still a Nintendo game lmao), but she the most blatantly autistic coded character I have seen in a WHILE. Genuinely I am over the moon about this

#seriously!!! an autistic character who is confident and competent and someone youre meant to look up to!!!!!!#also not to mention you RARELY see autistic characters who arent like. little boys #shes an older teenage girl and she is very clearly written as autistic and GOD i fucking wish i had this game as a kid #as a freshmen in highschool i gave a sermon at my church with the topic of mental disability representation in childrens media #and it was genuinely a life changing experience to go up there and talk about it #and i am legitimately so unbelievably happy that Nemona as a character exists #i had no autistic characters to ever look up to as a kid so i am endlessly thankful that there's characters NOW for kids to see #also Eri is DEEEEFINITELY implied to be in a relationship with another girl so theres that.#but Eri being a lesbian is WAY less explicitly said in-text than Nemona's autism is #anyways sorry for being a bit personal on main lol but its true
