The visual post to send when your friends don’t believe Submas are autistic
Verrrrry much for fun, but also for education. Without further do, here’s my physical graphic I worked on. :)It’s much easier to explain this via funny pictures than it is to write an essay. [Yes, other people have done something similar to this – but I wanna spice it up a bit!! Point out every single canon sign I can think of, and make a fun little graphic.]
I am also pretty passionate about the topic of autism as a whole-
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO…. LET’S BEGIN.
Adding onto this point, warden Ingo displays a wide lexicon that he hadn’t previously shown in BW/BW2. If you take into account that other Hisuians [in the English version of the game] speak in almost the same way, Ingo’s masking behavior becomes clearer.
This could be blamed on the abundance of dialogue he has in Legends Arceus compared to BW/BW2. But I could also see this being a masking behavior.
The implication that Ingo needs to be “proud” of his expressive tone says something in itself.
Standing in the middle of the battle may have been how the panel was drawn, but personally, I believe there’s some ADHD/autism combination happenings….
NOW, AS FOR EMMET…. HE’S THE ONE THE FANDOM NOTICED MORE.
Aaaahhhh, this one is such a prominent feature that everyone noticed – Emmet’s shameless stim march.
Where is where my blog name comes from~
Don’t make the mistake of portraying Emmet as rude “for the sake of it”! The behavior comes off as oblivious and clearly reads as autistic.
It’s possible that Ingo does this as well – but it’s more prominent in Emmet!
He repeats this line quite a few times to passengers, as well as, “Follow the rules. Safe driving! Follow the schedule. Everybody smile! Check safety. Everything’s ready! Aim for victory! All aboard!” and “I am Emmet” generally. He also may script, “What I do. What I say. Always the same.”
Scripting is a vey common autistic behavior that helps us speak to others with less room for error.
AND LASTLY….
Their special interest is pretty obvious.
The two are reputable train conductors as well as the bosses of the battle subway. Ingo in particular uses regular train puns in his speech and is known to infodump about them passionately in Masters. Despite it having a reputation as a “stereotypical” special interest, it’s real.
