An odd looking video game character, possibly autistic.

Post Reply New Topic

Have you guys ever heard of or played the video game, Wild Arms 2? Well, there is one character that is non-playable that does show a lot of odd and autistic behaviors to me base on my life experience with autism. For example, in this video from 4:18-4:45, she has trouble speaking, which is what I dont do, quotes to herself a lot in real life, which is what I do and has struggles socializing, which what I used to do in real life. In that same video from 10:00-10:07, she uses fast sophisticated language.
In another video (Part 17) from 1:58-2:31, she is seen stimming and talking about an unrelated topic and her obsession.
In the last video below, at the end of the final boss in 33:27-35:51, she is seen stimming and walking back and forth, which is what I do a lot in real life (notice how odd and atypical she is among everyone else in the group waiting for the heros to win) and struggles to communicate but succeeds with her boyfriend.
Even in her profile picture she is shown flapping her hands and being a little hyperactive.

Looking on her actions based on my experience and matching her behaviors with the DSM-IV TR criteria, I think that Colette character of Wild Arms 2 has PDD-NOS or in my book "Borderline Autism". There are other characters from Wild Arms 2 that are playable too that appear to have mental issues. Like Lilka, the socceres, for example has PTSD, inferiority complex, and possibly Asperger's Syndrome. this is because she saw her big sister die in a magic accident, she has a lot of knowledge in magic, and is kind of senstive to which people she is around and dose not talk much with anyone except the pary members. Marivel Armitage, a vampire, might also have some of the same things especially the aspie traits of excessive knowledge in technology and being very shy and scared to make friends. This game has a lot of characters that act quite wierd.What do you think about that?

Oooo, nice observation. Mmmm, would like to some potientally autistic characters, only one I can think of Link from LOZ.
