Description
A high-functional autistic sim is as an extraordinary detective with superpowers of observation. They have an uncanny ability to spot the tiniest details that most people might overlook. It's like they have a built-in "spot-the-difference" game running in their minds all the time. They are usually genuine and authentic, passionately enthusiastic, deeply perceptive, they love talking endlessly about their favorite subjects, and you might find yourself both entertained and educated after a conversation with them.
There are no special trait restrictions on to which sim you can apply the trait to.
I haven't added any social interactions yet, so there is no additional script file. There is only one CAS file for the Create A Sim Menu to apply the trait through, and one Supplementary/Gameplay Trait to be able to apply the trait to a specific sim. As you may know, CAS traits can be applied randomly to sims, unless you use the MC Command Center to add traits' exceptions. That's what I usually do.
Common buffs of the trait include: focused, when the sim gets focused, inspired, when the sim becomes inspired, tense, when they are tense, and fine, when they feel confident.
Also, one occasional buff appears sporadically, which represents the main "Fine" buff of the trait.
HFAutistic sims create a happy buff to all family and friends and one romantic buff to their romantic interest and so on.
Remember to use the trait as a CAS - under the social category or Supplementary/Gameplay. Never both.
The trait can be found under the name HFAutistic. And I plan to enrich it in the future.
Happy Gaming!
Disclaimer: Every autistic person is different, so making a trait like this would require some generalizing, which is fine, so I put a disclaimer to clarify that in the description as to not contribute to misinformation about autism. Since misinformation is an issue that plagues all communities. (respectfully - as seen on comments - a little bit rephrased)
The terms "High-Functioning Autistic Person" and "Autistic Person" are often used to describe individuals on the autism spectrum, but they can carry different connotations and implications. It's important to note that these terms are not universally agreed upon and can vary in usage.
Absolutely, everyone should have the right to identify and be referred to in the way that feels most comfortable and accurate for them. If they feel that "high-functioning autistic" accurately represents their experience and preferences, they are free to use that term to describe themselves.
It's significant to recognize that language preferences can vary among individuals. Some people within the autism community prefer person-first language ("person with autism") to emphasize the individual over their condition, while others prefer identity-first language ("autistic person") to highlight autism as an integral part of their identity. Additionally, some individuals may feel that terms like "high-functioning" do not capture the complexity of their experiences and challenges.
Ultimately, the most respectful approach is to use the language that each individual prefers for themselves. If you choose to use the term "high-functioning autistic" to describe yourself, it's important for others to honor and respect that choice. Similarly, it's important to respect the language choices of others within the autism community (or not), even if they differ from your own. The goal is to foster understanding, acceptance, and inclusivity for all individuals, regardless of their neurodiversity.
For the record:
Autistic Person: This term emphasizes the individual's identity as an autistic person. It recognizes autism as an inherent part of their identity, similar to how someone might describe themselves as a "creative person" or a "mathematical person." Using this term places the focus on the person's unique strengths, challenges, and experiences related to being autistic.
High-Functioning Autistic Person: This term is often used to describe individuals who are on the autism spectrum and have comparatively good communication and daily living skills. However, it's important to note that the concept of "high-functioning" is not universally accepted within the autism community. Although, it is not universally accepted, it exists, and can be freely used as a term.
