For the ones who cannot be knowing already, this is a theory that is suggesting that for each discrete points on the autistic spectrum, some Haven and Hearth player can be mapped to it. I hear about this notion some times ago, but I am not sure if it is reliable informative.
I think I can get some help from the community on this one if they have some informations on it. If you are not having some psychology trainings, this is fine. You can read some informative in this article. The disorders in this spectrum is all including:
- Social deficits
Could mean limited eye contact, being "off in their own world" and showing little to no interest in parents or siblings in the room, not understanding sarcasm or when they are being lied to, difficulty noticing facial expressions, difficulty lying or understanding the concept of lying, cooperative play, imaginative play without help or without the use of social scripts - Communication difficulties
May be lacking in vocal ability, unable to take in information and reply appropriately, unable to participate in communication like a typical child/adult would (in that you take in information, process it, and then respond) - Repetitive behaviors
This can involve hand flapping, noise making (in the form of a single tone or yelping, or other noises), stimming (hand flapping, yelling, leaning back in your chair to get a head rush for stimulus), lining up toys or objects into a line or specific order and becoming upset when that order is broken or changed, strict routines and avoidant behaviours when met with change
I think the Haven player is a fine bunch to me, so I am maybe thinking the person who is telling me this is just having a yank to my chain to get some jollies. But I am not expert enough in the Haven community and in psychology studies to be knowing for sure.
Is this a theory that anyone else here has had their ears filled with before? Is there any truth to it you thinking? I would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks for the consideration.
