Autism Tales

it's been a while but I think the 2nd Edition of Palldium's Beyond the Supernatural game has "Idiot-Savant" as an actual character class if that counts.

Some autists are pretty cool

Some are pretty lame

Most are speedrunners though

>but then he got hit by a car after the first session and died.

Why don't you play autistic characters, user?

Because the actual autistic players in my group get mad out of character at me.

Had an autistic guy in a game I ran. Put up with him for two sessions, then I apologized and threw him out. I can hardly deal with the retardation output of normal people - no idea why I thought I could deal with that.

Hey, you're not me!

I don't know if I'm strictly capable of writing anyone that ISN'T autistic. How do you write someone that isn't if you aren't? I guess by definition everything I do is 'autistic' according to OP lol

I used to play in Pathfinder Society years ago, and there was a fat guy with a speech impediment, I think he may have legitimately had Downs. Anyway he would spend all his gold on invisibility potions, he had dozens of these things stocked up and literally nothing else to his name except his starting equipment. And every round, the GM would ask him what he would do and he would reply "I dwink an invisbiwity potion." Every round. He would turn invisible, stand in the corner while everyone else did all the work, and uncork another potion. And if the GM would try to engage him in any way, he would get really agitated and repeat "I'm invisibuh! I'm invisibuh!"

He would literally come to the FLGS every other Saturday just to sit and say he was invisible.

He once was the only survivor of an otherwise TPK to some kind of dragon monster, and all he did was drink another invisibility potion.

That sucks. I have a player in my regular group who I feel like is the same way.

He's a nice enough guy, but he's not particularly good at roleplaying, and like, mechanically he always gets lost. He can never remember how the rules work, and forgets most of his own abilities, and only ever really does stuff when other people remind him of his moves and point out that it would be a good opportunity to use them.
