    I’d deep seed a few of them IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

      I appreciate the clarification. Thank you.

  Uh…where’s Reg? Big miss there.

    I see him as just having extreme social anxiety. Maybe I’m projecting.

    Maybe it’s a main cast/non guest star only meme?

  Ah, a list of basically all of my favorite characters. I’m sure that doesn’t mean anything

  I don’t see Seven as ASD coded. She has levels of trauma that can sometimes be mistaken as ASD and has lived outside of regular human society for much of her life.

    You’re completely right, there is obviously no deeper meaning to presenting a character who is a mature adult yet requires structured classes in order to learn how human beings socialise.

    • andthenthreemore@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yes because that’s exactly what I said.

      She’s closer to a feral child than ASD. I also don’t feel that she has spectrum traits when we meet her again in Picard.

      Im guessing based on your username this character is an obsession of yours, and there’s a need to insist your interpretations are absolute fact. But unless the writer’s state explicitly what they were intending with her character. Its all just opinions.

      On another note. Despite what you might think based on a lot of comments, it is possible to discuss things on the Internet without being unnecessarily smug and condescending purely because someone contradicted your head cannon

  Does Odo actually qualify for this? He can feel and comprehend and interpret emotions just fine, he is just deadly shy and insecure behind his stoic enforcer facade.

    He can feel and comprehend and interpret emotions just fine, he is just deadly shy and insecure behind his stoic enforcer facade.

    This is basically describing autism too. We can feel emotions just fine. But expressing them is hard because we do so in a way that can sometimes be upsetting to others. So we become shy and put up a facade that hides how we feel about things.

    Also, “ASD-coded” is different than ASD. These characters don’t literally have ASD, but the fantastical sci-fi backgrounds the writers set up allow them to write the characters to behave and experience struggles in a way that is similar to someone with ASD. Especially problems fitting in with a group, socialising, and forming meaningful connections with others.

    Neither does Data. He has no emotions. I feel like the maker of this meme projects a bit.

      This is not a new idea
      Warning: dated terminology ahead:
      Many times at conventions, kids will come up to my table when I’m signing photographs and tell me they have Asperger syndrome, and that when they were growing up, Data was the only character on TV they could relate to. That’s an incredibly moving experience. Had I known, I might have encouraged the writers to write more towards that, but it might have blown the whole thing and lost the connection.

      ASD coded, not literally ASD. The thematic struggle with social convention counts IMO. But Data has no self loathing or whatever. He just wants to understand. We stan Data.

    Autistic people can feel and comprehend emotions like everyone else, no difference. Not sure why those two were on your list. As far as interpreting emotion, we can, we just have to learn how instead of doing it innately, which it seems Odo did for all human behavior.

  I really don’t think the EMH counts.

    It was programmed from the personalities of hundreds of are Star fleet doctors with terrible bedside manners … starting with Dr Leonard McCoy

    source

    • klemptor@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Agreed, but terrible bedside manner isn’t indicative of autism. And the Doctor seems to be garden-variety crotchety, which makes sense given that he’s modeled on Lewis Zimmerman. I’d need other criteria to convince me he’s supposed to be autistic.

    Agreed. He doesn’t have any trouble interpreting or expressing feelings, it’s just that he’s kind of a prick with an identity crisis.

    Yeah ditto, I don’t think he (it?) seemed autistic at all

  Did anyone else wonder who the black guy was before you noticed his legs?

    Clearly the female changeling. She could do real solids.

  They’re specifically outsiders for the purpose of providing commentary on human behavior.

  That’s a real who’s who of my favorite characters. Probably not a coincidence.

  Strength through victimhood is pretty autistic.
