--- Quote from: BenRG on 27 Mar 2018, 04:56 ---Brun has also demonstrated other symptoms of some type of autistic spectrum issues. Most notably, she has had one on-page meltdown where she becomes uncommunicative and cannot process sensory data.

So we've established that it's possible she's autistic and such a scenario wouldn't be Jeph pulling a diagnosis out his ass but she might also not be.
It seems like responses to comments about her or her actions always boil down to " :-o BUT --- THE SPECTRUM!! :-o" and it kind stops being a discussion about Brun and starts being a discussion about something that may or may not at most be one part of her character.
BTW, I don't dislike Brun. She's a fun character to watch and I enjoy the arcs with her. She's relatable enough to make me invested in her story. I still think she's reached a point in this arc where she is being annoying and a little rude.

A lot of her actions also fit into the Auditory/Visual Processing Disorders...
That also explains a LOT of missed cues with people as the verbal and body cues are a big part of things with understanding people and what is actually going on...

I know the S topic is not allowed, (...I think?) but goddamnit, I really want two certain guys together so I can enjoy that vicariously.
Is it cold in here?:

Global Moderator Comment You're a member of the forum. You're in a position to disagree. You raised an inclusiveness issue. That gets the full attention of people in a position to change things. I can think of at least one occasion where I've reversed firmly held policy when affected people said it was affecting their feeling of being welcome here.

The way I understand it, what is not allowed is only discussing hypothetical relationships that are out of character. I don’t think that’s where you’re going, necessarily. Yes, it’s still hypothetical, but Elliot has already expressed an attraction to Clinton, so I think that makes it a real possibility.
Others have recently been discussing all three of them getting into a poly relationship, and there’s been no indication whatsoever that any of them is interested in that, so I’d say your mentioning something that’s already been alluded to is just fine.

Note that Clinton, rather than seizing upon the chance that Brun's very evident trust and Elliot's misunderstanding gives him to edge Elliot out, is talking honestly and openly with Elliot instead. Note Elliot's striking lack of jealous resentment at the idea that Clinton and Brun are a thing. This has been interpreted as lack of interest on Clinton's part and as a character defect on Elliot's. It can also be interpreted as evidence that they would be willing to share her affections if she wants.
There is currently no indication of what Brun wants, but we can be sure that she will do what she does want, not what convention dictates she should want. There are a lot of circumstances where missing social cues is a power, not a handicap.
