Is Shiina Mashiro autistic?
BigEDMan said: Can people stop discussing about autism and just enjoy her presence in the anime? O_o Bringing up autism just makes me think of her in a bad way, so pls nohate. ......She's not autistic The fact it makes you think of her in a bad way is your own issue, not an issue with Shiina. |

I didn't say it was an issue with Shiina! I was just telling those to stop talking about autism (even if it's true) |

_Dazzle_ said: However Shiina is so very lucky to have such nice friends who do not take advantage of her and take care of her for FREE because she can barely live by herself and... god forbid is she does, I think she needs a helper for LIFE.  wait what i'm asperger and no one is taking care of me like an nuisance for the rest of my life, i'm pretty fine on my own and the personality fits very well |
| @BigEDMan But why should they stop talking about her being autistic if it's true? |
| I see so she's autistic. She's special so I still like Mashiro. |
| If she wasn't autistic she would have just bought Sakura-sou with all that world famous artist money, and not have to bother getting all those signatures. |
_Dazzle_ said: There are many forms of autism, and I think that the genius girl Shiina Mashiro contains symptoms of autism, specifically, yes of course if you want to look at it through real world eyes, it has also been suggested that she may be suffering from savant syndrome, which is similar to autism, but this anime, if we begin psychologically analyzing characters from anime we will begin to see a pattern of mental illnesses among some of the best characters. when it comes to anime and manga i would not over analyze because you'll begin to open the door to other stuff and see a lot of what i call fuckedupness which includes anything from normalizing rape or sexual assault as just a fetish(which seems to be a problem in japan) to Toxic Masculinity |

| yes, a lovely autistic |
| She clearly has Aspergers. She is awkward doesn't read emotion well, and just unaware of most social interactions in general. It felt quite obvious to me she has Aspergers if even just a little bit. |

| Yes she is definitely on the spectrum. Probably not too obvious for some people. But I’ve worked around people on the spectrum before. |

MissJiira said: Tugar said: I agree with ayuxx here, I feel as if in the beginning it really seemed like she was slightly autistic. She was unable to take care of herself and emotions and proper social skills were all foreign to her. But this could all be due to the fact that she spent years of her life just studying art and painting and not interacting with her peers like normal kids. As the series goes on and she gets more exposure you can really see how she starts to change. Its as if shes maturing more and more socially, just at a later time in her life since she got a slow start. Speaking from experience I can confidently say Shiina indeed has a form of autism. There are many forms, in which each autistic person could fall into very different ends of the 'symptoms pool' Two aspergers could be very different just because one has a different and unique set of symptoms compared to the other. So just because shiina doesn't show all the symptoms or specific symtpoms, doesn't mean she doesnt have a form of autism. With the whole 'learnt to socialize' thing, I can totally vouch for that not affecting her diagnosis at all. In fact, I've been through similar myself. Autism majorly affects social abilities and ones ability to effectively communicate both verbally and nonverbally, and for Shiina this plays a big role in her relationship with Sorata. Typical of aspergers/autistic people is that we struggle to communicate effectively. Whether that be speech related or simply not knowing how to touch on these topics, we all struggle. Shiina as we've seen has blossomed and grown since the first episode in terms of social skills. Does this mean she was never impaired? No. Autistic people if given the time and nurture and a good environment, can and will learn how to overcome their inability to socialize. The problem isnt that they cant socialize 'end of story' no its more in the learning aspect. I struggled greatly for the longest time and it was obvious to those around me that something wasnt quite right but over time I was given many opportunities to learn and develop my social skills, how to jump the hurdles so I can socialize adequately enough to work well with other's. Now I've reached a point where people can hardly tell that I have Aspergers. So im just saying, it's not impossible for Shiina to have autism and have learnt how to overcome these obstacles. Of course its not as easy as that, it takes time and even then all the time and nurture in the world cant overcome the issues given because of autism 100% but, it can make life easier. Seriously though, Shiina has autism. Undoubtedly. This may be a really late reply, but i did want to add. As someone who has Aspergers syndrome, i can say that i can see alot of how i am in the way she acts. I tend to say things that end up coming out wrong because i think nothing of it when i say it. Common sense i have, but intuition i can't really say i have. The only intuition i have is actually taught theory on how somethings can be felt, basically i have been told how to react in certain situations and i can use the theory and personal experience mixed in to socialize and work normally enough to pass. |
