She's on the inside in the photos, you can see the control panel. The interior of the elevator has a dark coloration up to about her waistline and then is lightly-colored above. While this line comes up to the shoulder in the game, this can be attributed to the stylized art. I think it's wild you can't see the resemblance. Also, both the real victim and the fictional one are East Asian women.

As an autism-spectrum adult with ADHD who works with kids with similar diagnoses, I can confirm - autistic outbursts are predictable responses to social stressors that neurotypical people often also hate dealing with, but are socialized and empowered to repress their responses to. Yes, sometimes those reactions can seem arbitrary or irritating or scary but we aren't dumb animals or giant infants, we're people that society - capitalism and one-size-fits-all institutions - systematically underserve and abuse.

People with severe developmental disabilities are still people with needs, sensitivities, and dignity. Yes, there are people for whom no degree of understanding or accomodation will get them to a GED - but those accomodations and adjusted expectations will still dramatically improve their quality of life, whereas desperately seeking "cures" burns away resources that could be used to support autistic people right now, while perpetuating stigma against autism and autistic behavior that reduces quality-of-life for everyone on the spectrum.

aphid_licker posted:Are there clothes or foods that you can give to an autistic guy like in that post that would improve the situation at least in that respect? Collarless for starters? Yes, there are tons of ways you can improve an autistic person's quality of life if you listen and pay attention instead of writing them off as animalistic, pitiable freaks. Specific medications like sleep aids. Letting them choose clothes that aren't excruciating to wear. Finding healthy diets that don't cause intestinal distress. But all of that requires time and resources that are not available to a lot of parents and caregivers. And even when those resources are available, so much of our culture refuses to even engage with the idea that our societal demands - school uniforms and "toughen up" attitudes - might be the problem.
