I was actually wonder how many people on Mobafire who play League of Legends (or maybe DOTA) actually have Autism?

Do you feel it makes it harder or easier to play the game?

Do you learn better or do you struggle to understand simple things?

Do you feel explaining your condition will be misinterpreted as an excuse for any bad performance or do you think it helps the team to function better as a whole?

I would love to hear your opinions on this

Autism exists in many, many ways. Some simply experience the inability to make new friends or set up relationships while others are just completely oblivious to what's going on around them. Some forms will affect the ability to play a videogame, others won't. Stating it in general is weird to do so.

This, pretty much (and I say this as someone with Asperger's, which is classified as high-functioning autism by most medical professionals).

"Autism" describes a spectrum of disorders and issues. This sort of question is hard to answer and won't actually come up with any useful information, since it doesn't necessarily affect your gameplay at all. It doesn't for me, at least.

Ok, I understand that because I have Austism and I have Aspergers.
Believe me this thread wasn't designed to offend people but to see how people with conditions such as Autism and Aspergers find it playing in a competitive game like League of Legends.
