@Star: Even if Rose did in fact kill Pink Diamond, it's quite possible one of the others is responsible for Rose somehow being able to slip past the entire army defending her. Or that old theory that Pink let Rose kill her for some reason could be true.
The old theory that Pearl was the one who killed Pink Diamond and Rose took the fall for her also comes to mind.

Oh, yeah. Speaking of Padparadscha I also found this.
Padparadscha Sapphire's Representation of Special Needs Children!
That's uh, reaching a bit there, no?
Incidentally, the part where Steven is trying pull Lars through his own head portal is kinda reminiscient of the Halloween episode of Invader Zim. Except in Zim, it actually ended up working, and was every bit as horrific as that sounds.
Made me thinks of the scenes from Futurama: Bender's Big Score where Nibbler flees from a Time Crash by eating himself. That was also successful.
In human-analogous terms Padparadscha didn't make me think of a child, but the exact opposite. But I'll admit even that is a pretty tenuous resemblance.

Stupid realism...can't go inside your own head to escape alien planets.
But a big headed kid can to escape the nightmare realm.
And a three eyed black thing can eat itself to escape paradox tears.

There.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I'll just copy and paste the same thing I commented in that 'Padparadscha is reflective of the developmentally disabled' video as my take on it:
"As someone with Asperger's Syndrome, among other things, I think you're reaching. I see your point, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Crewniverse did intend this to be the case, but I feel like this is a bit of a stretch.
We haven't known Padparadscha long enough to know whether her delayed response time is universal for her as a person, or if it's just for her limited post-cognition, and she's just absorbed in her faulty Future Vision as a coping mechanism, like our Sapphire can be sometimes.
I'm just saying: don't get angry or disappointed if a future episode portrays her as breaking past her 'Future Vision' and being otherwise normal and well-adjusted without it."

Sapphires can come in many different colors and types, with Padparadscha being rather are. However, keep in mind that according to Zircon, each of the Diamonds have their own Sapphires. Her color is likely intentional, perhaps designed for either Pink or Yellow Diamond.
The gems aren't as separated as previous theories thought. Pink had her own Agates, as does Blue and probably Yellow. While there might be gems unique to each, it seems that as a whole, each Diamond basically controls their own army and government.

Yeah to be honest, I don't really like when people jump on the bandwagon of characters having mental differences, or psychological disorders unless they're specifically mentioned by the creator to be an attempt at representing them. More often than not it's just people taking small details and forcing the character into a label that only loosely resembles them at best or would be a caricature at worst because the theorist is stereotyping the character.
It's also kind of low hanging fruit theory-wise. Most people aren't psychiatrists and they don't really understand that stuff anyway so the audience, for the most part, won't know any more than them.

Also, in my (admittedly limited) experience interacting with the severely developmentally disabled, they usually don't have Slowpoke-esque reaction times. They have difficulty vocalizing thoughts, they tend to focus on one thing and refuse to move on to another until they feel satisfied that their thing is resolved, and they tend to completely and sometimes consciously ignore events that don't interest them, regardless of importance.
One thing that I've never seen before in a disabled person is reacting to an event in the same way the average person would, just several seconds to a minute after said event.

I was thinking of the Ren & Stimpy episode where Stimpy climbed inside his own belly button.

Expected...
