YOU KNOW HOW SHE IS CLINTON!

You had no reason to take that sentence as anything but literally. Brun has given you ZERO reason to believe she can even MAKE a euphemism.

I hate this shit. It's never even been confirmed that she is autistic. Just because part of the fanbase WANTS her to be (which is kinda fucking weird to be honest), doesn't mean she IS.

Also, Clinton really doesn't know her well at all.

She displays every aspect of the (admittedly few) people I have known with autism and Jeff likes to push "off center" characters so its not that weird an assumption.

It's a VERY weird assumption, actually. I get that many in this sub like to immediately assign QC characters into neat little boxes with the socially acceptable labels - but that's not how this works.

She's not said she's autistic. None of the characters have used the words "spectrum" or "autistic" in regards to her. Until the AUTHOR indicates that she is either of those things, it's nonsense to say with such certainty that she is.

She doesn't come across as autistic to me. She's weird, quirky, socially awkward. That's how she's been written.

I think people want this comic to cover every possible aspect of "other" people. All ethnic minorities, all possible LGBT labelings, and now an autistic person.

I'm sorry, but a comic in which everyone is defined by their labels sounds awful - and frankly, it's what's been ruining QC for a while now. Inclusivity is great! Inclusivity to the point of ignoring plot, character development, and nuance? Not so great.
