Let's Play To the Moon: Part 6 - No Helmet
5So I looked up Tony Attwood out of curiousity and he's a psychologist who has written a lot about Asperger's syndrome...which was what I suspected was going on here. Funny they would name drop, but not directly say that River has it. Not sure if this is an accurate depiction of Aspergers or not, but I've known a couple people diagnosed with it and I don't know if any of them would consider it a "condition." Also know it affects everyone differently. At the end, it made it sound like she was dying because of it, so I'm not exactly sure what the writer and devs were trying to say about it in general. Either way, I think I understand the cafeteria scene a little bit more. I was very confused about some of the dialogue.
I don't have Aspergers personally, so I have no right to critique this, but if someone would like to shed some light on it I'd be more than happy to hear more.
