....Is Luna autistic?

Well, like my wife says, it is a spectrum, and everyone's on it somewhere....

 

[Maccabbee]

....Is Luna autistic?

No, she's not autistic she sees the future whenever she touches someone. Sort of like a fortune teller.

Jeez, even quoting myself now... Anyways, Nova is far more likely to be autistic than Luna is, but I could see where you'd get that impression. She is traumatized and ostracized, but might be a little?

edit: I also want to be clear, to this point this has not been a character element for either of these, or anyone else, and I don't expect it to be, but if it helps you relate to them then it's not too far off to see it.

probably some level of high functioning autism which is so mild that it requires an actual diagnosis to even confirm since the person in question is mostly "normal" aside from a few quirks.

Yeah, sorta like my family. Pretty sure my wife and I were undiagnosed (because we're old and they didn't think of Autism the way they do now), and my kids have very different expressions of it.

Heist writing is

 

[LonesomeSpirit]

Replaying the game, some of the early set pieces are really good. I think the overall quality of the story gets better with each update, the scenes and the cinematics as well, but some of the early set pieces like the haunted mansion are goated. Miss those, hopefully we get some of those back.

It is comically easy to close a girl's route forever. Oh, you wanna go home? Sure lets go ho- woops too late pussy dried up Attraction ==0

Am I crazy for wanting a path where you actually fuck Regina? As the MC you're already kind of a 5 timing scumbag if you're playing for the routes, so getting an actual reward for closing routes could be nice. Maybe she could blackmail you with the pictures or something, idk.

All by herself? You should add Charlotte, Gertrude, Aspen and Michaela! Make a proper orgy of it.

Absolutely not. The first three, sure, but doing Chang dirty like that? Never.

Being on the spectrum myself and I disagree with that statement. Whenever I hear or see that statement is being used that "everyone is a little bit autistic" they clearly don't understand autism at all. I would not recommend the autistic life expierence to anyone. Our brains are not built for this capitalistic neurotypicical society.

With that being said: this game is still on my back-log.

I have 3 questions regarding the game:

1-When will it be totally finished; And what version will it be at the end?

2-will a new update be released yearly or monthly?

3- is there plans to make the mc customizable or changing his hairstyle/physical appearance? Honestly he looks like some tree twig or somethin

1. Dev said his current target is 13-14 chapters total (we are currently at chapter 8, with chapter 9 coming out late this year)

2. Updates come out 7 1/2 - 8 months after the public release

3. Spoilers: There is no customization, but Orion (MC) gets a new hairstyle and bulks up as the story progresses

I'm not saying you're wrong, but everyone with autism presents differently and it can have wildly different effects on their lives. They are just figuring out that women with autism have been misdiagnosed for decades, usually as ADHD, because of how it expresses in their lives, and how social masking hides many of the characteristics. I do know a thing or two about this. I was by no means intending any offense to you, but I do stand by what I said. There are many more people with autism than those with diagnoses and support.

 

[LusterDemon]

I tested it and these 2 lines are right next to each other if you decide to not ask Dalia for anything sexual in return for winning a fight against her back in the roman server ( since that closes the route)

I fuilly understand you. No offence taken. But once again having one trait really doesn't make you "a little bit ADHD / autistic / insert any other neurological dissabillity" like those folks like to say as an attempt to make you feel better about yourself. It's not helping. At least for me. You really need an amount of traits to have that diagnosis. Being able to identify and having suspicions for having a neurological dissabillity is one thing. Getting that diagnosis also would takes time due waiting lists etc and some specialists in that field, but that can be a real game changer.

It sucks being misunderstood all the time, struggling with taking everything literally, black-and-white thinking, struggling with reading social cues properly, making enough eye-contact, all that small talk bullshit that NT people like to do, sensory stimuli isseus, executive dysfunction ... etc.

I know women are often gets misdiagnosed when they really have ADHD. My mom was possibly one of them (passed away, so i'll never probably know for sure) and when I have learned you can have both ADHD and autism like half year ago I'm now undergoing through the process of getting an ADHD diagnosis myself. By the end of august it's estiminated I'll get my evaluation report. I do know both autism and ADHD have string evidence on being related to genetics, so yeah. I do struggle a lot with a lot of non-autistic issues like getting late, not being able to complete tasks, daydreaming almost all the time, not paying attention, loosing constantly stuff, and it's been like that since childhood. My autism is most likely the more dominant one, since I've been diagnosed ASD when I was 16.

Having an actual neurodivergent brain that's expected to thrive in a neurotypical society fucking sucks. I almost ended my own life because of this.

 

[PervyParadox]

Me coming to read Eternum's thread only to stumble upon a conversation about autism, ADHD, and neurodivergent brains:

I almost ended my own life because of this.

Glad you did not! Cheers to you for keeping on.

It's realy shitty, and there's no sugar coating it. But you are not alone, and I do hope it gets better for you. Sending love your way.



Also, because I do not want to be misunderstood, I don't mean to make you uncomfortable at all. My only intention with this message is to make you feel better, if I can. And if I can't, to at least let you know some people care. And if I unwittingly made you uncomfortable, I apologize.
