[[quoteblock]]On another point you made, it\\\'s interesting to me that you perceive her behavior as childish. I don\\\'t disagree (she certainly doesn\\\'t act like a fifteen year old would be expected to), but \\\"childish\\\" is frequently how people with no knowledge of the disorder describe the behavior of someone with high functioning autism/Aspergers.[[/quoteblock]]

I\\\'m actually responding to the way the creators have other characters raising that subject. I appreciate that can be a problem with the way people handle this in real life, but my approach is more about wondering whether the creators are mis-portraying an attempt at childishness. One thing (among many things) adult creators are well known for doing badly is portraying childish or immature behaviour.


Apologies extended to [=SerapeWF=]. I did mention on the RWBY thread, but I should have clarified here as well. I think it needs more than just us to ensure a firm consensus is reached. As I said on the forum thread, although I\\\'ve argued my stance quite strongly, I really don\\\'t mind what decision is made at the end. Given that this has cropped up a few times in the past, I just want to make sure that we\\\'ve aired everything that could be said so that a final decision will stick if it\\\'s ever queried again in the future. The more input we have from people, the stronger the decision will be.

I hope that helps you understand where I\\\'m coming from.
