What are your thoughts on Yasu when it comes to autism? And I mean the "normal" version that doesn't have her god in her ear.
Based off a few things, and stuff like this:

I genuinely don't see a single character having autism in this game. At all. It just doesn't fit the vibe of it in the slightest, it would feel weird and jarring (and not in the established way)

Yasu is sensitive to supernatural stuff medium abused by

The only one I'm thinking might, is Yasu, and mostly just due to how she seems to react to certain sensations and situations. Reminds me of someone I know who is diagnosed.
Then again, it could just be a coincidence or some god stuff.
Fair point.
We might be seeing some of her past, pre god stuff, soon though, so that might give a better view at how Yasu really is.

My only thought is 'nope'. There really isn't anyone in the game that gives me even partial vibes, everyone is either neurotypical, dealing with trauma/injury, or just has a bit of an atypical personality.

Autistic behaviours or perceptions, interpreting signals through an autistic filter, recognizing patterns others miss or where there aren't any, biased interpretation of information due to overconfidence in known areas vs rational patience for only building theory off of facts, not conjecture, recurrent errors in logic due to 'not even knowing what you don't know'. The list goes on, vibes is just shorthand for picking up on things that are common with autistics. The more things i pick up on, the more i start to wonder about a person and start actually looking for clear flags.
Also, i tire of talking about this. No offence but i'm just too tired and disinterested to go back and forth.

And here I was thinking Sensei had a potentially terminal case of apathy.

Nah, he's too interested in eating hamburgers to be apathetic.

Leaving out the "since I was little" seems like a major oversight.
The way she says it, it implies that those parts of her worked fine, up until they didn't.
Either her trauma shut those parts of her down, or the medications she was put on to treat that trauma did. Most likely a combination of both.

That's what makes Yasu hard to diagnose, in the real world you would just assume she is a schizophrenic who had been convinced the voices in her head were from god and the dead. Add in the sexual aspect of her cult and you would assume she was being groomed. The fact that gods are confirmed to be real in this world makes it far less simple.

"Major oversight" seems like an exaggeration. I was using her description, not the time period.
There's also how Io implies that "trauma-less Io" still has problems:

So, I don't think all her issues come from trauma. I also don't think it's been implied that the medications actually cause her problems either.
In otherwords: By "since I was little" she could just be trying to be vague. Io doesn't actually seem to want Sensei to know her secrets.
