Also the Horizon characters are autistic lesbians btw. I know this because I simply Understand Them. "Sound attacks" aren't actually a thing machines do Aloy's just autistic and assumes everyone else is physically pained by the machines making high pitched shrieking. Her autistic girl swag is off the charts

#THERES ACTUAL AUTISTIC CODING FOR HER FOR REAL #also theres a canon autistic character too. her name is Boomer and her special interest is BOMBS #and i think shes genuinely well handled!#but no seriously aloys autistic coded.#spoilers for Forbidden West #BUT.#Aloys clone-sister is absolutely autistic. theres a wholeass scene where Beta is watching a video on loop to calm down #and not responding to direct questions in a situation where she'd be expected to #and shes extremely knowledgeable and interested in technology. and she had panic attacks and sensory overload (kinda on that last one.)#she had a chip removed from her head which causes her to become extremely disoriented BUT i think its also sensory overload #AND THE HYPEREMPATHY TO A FAULT ALOY AND ELISABET BOTH HAVE #aloy REPEATEDLY feels OBLIGATED to sacrifice her own safety and wellbeing to help others #its a WHOLE THING in Forbidden West where Aloy literally tries to fucking CRAWL away after she nearly dies #because she NEEDS to help people #also Beta is DIRECTLY paralleled to Boomer whose side quest directly involves her being autistic and her sister not understanding her #anyways. joining the war on autism on the side of autism
