like it’s outright stated in the official comic that she’s on the “spectrum” aka the austism spectrum (bc what other spectrum could she be referring to?? one that makes her “different”, unable to mesh well with other people in a formal setting but excelling at a specific academia, that makes her love order????)
like it isn’t “implied”, she confirms it. she’s come to terms with it after being ridiculed for it and has learned to embrace it, since it’s the reason why she’s one of the best at hard light manipulation
symmetra is too good for us
Blizzard confirmed that YES she does mean the autism spectrum.So doubters can eat it
For those who were scrambling for a source like I was, I think I found the answer!
It wasn’t Blizzard, per se, but it was the writer of the comic, Andrew Robinson.
Both Tweets thanking him about the autism representation, and him calling it a privilege to write for the officially-sanctioned comic.
It’s canon. It’s confirmed canon. Symmetra is canonically autistic, I’m beside myself right now, oh my gosh.
thank you for the extra confirmation and sources!! people have been asking about it in the tags a lot so it’s super nice to know it’s Official official!!!
