#Vegeta is autistic. I will not extend my thoughts. Because I got mad at the donkey kong level. My head hurts.

yea its kind of weird when ppl who arent autistic call goku autistic and treat him a *certain* way

Hmm, I would like to make it clear that I am not officially diagnosed autistic, these past years I have had thoughts and feel like I might possibly be. I would self diagnose, but I second thought literally everything so I do not trust myself with that. Should anyone have a problem with my own words of this subject, I understand and accept that and would encourage you to say your own thoughts.

But I definitely see your point anon. A lot of people not only use the word Autistic as an insult, they show that they clearly do not think of Autistic people as people. And in a fanbase that is filled with neurotypical fans that are proud to be bigoted, it definitely does not help the neurodivergent fans.

Others simply label him as Autistic just to get away with their ableism as well. It is all incredibly unfortunate. Especially for newer fans, who are actually being able to finally learn these things with not as much bigotry as before.

I would like to make it clear though, I also meant that labeling Goku as Autistic is a bit iffy due to the source material as well. Ever since DragonBall, Goku was made the butt of the joke when it came to intelligence. Super unfortunately dialed down on the joke at times (the anime. The manga as well, probably worse but I prefer to just. Not acknowledge the manga if I can) but it was always there. Even in Z and GT.

He was on his complete own for years and there was only so much Grandpa Gohan could teach him for the brief years they had. And even then, Goku has, at times, had a short attention span unless it was dead serious or if it was something he was actually excited to learn about. Yet nearly every joke on him is about him being seen as stupid.

One smaller reason to be wary as well is his head injury. His head injury in itself is just, not really a valued thing for me personally. The Saiyans being an inherently evil race in the beginning was, in my opinion, was stupid but I digress.

There is also the fact that a LOT of fans baby him, treating him like some infant rather than the literal adult who has been through traumatic experiences that he is. Which is not what anyone wants, for the love of Goku, please know he is an actual character with thoughts and emotions that are not strictly "pure".

I try to make it so that I personally do not do that but I could be doing better perhaps. I do apologize sincerely if it has seemed that and will try to do better.

So yeah, for me, I do think Goku is autistic, but there is reason to be wary. Especially in this series where a lot of bigotry already exists in the source material.
