    though I am not diagnosed with Autism, it’s been thought I might. I was going to be tested years back but it was later found out I had Epilepsy, which was much more severe. I have been officially diagnosed with ADHD though.

    I don't think I have Autism or ADHD, but I am pretty weird. It's nice to have something that I know a lot about that I actually like.

    I'm clinical autism. I associated y'all with Pokemon that have somethin' to do with GOLD. Ho-oh's one of them.

    Inteleon, Eevee, Arceus, Venipede, Elekid, Breloom even? And most of all… Unown. THEY ARE SPECIAL, including Hog Rider II the Emboar.

    I've got autism and Pokémon is really popular with people with autism. Pokémon was my saving grace in my childhood.

    @Darkbirt, Don't even tell me, Pokémon has been my salvation my entire life, Pokémon is very special to me, Pokémon is totally a comfort to me, besides Pokémon for me is like a best friend to me, and for me who is autistic it is very special to me, and I am very happy to know that there are more Autistic Pokémon fans like me

    And special Pokémon for me that are my best friend Pokémon are: Psyduck, Fuecoco, Vulpix, Oshawott, Bulbasaur, Deerling, Purrloin, Munna, Spheal, Zorua and Mew(Those I mentioned are just a few of them, there are still a lot)

    Yes, I am one of them, an autistic Pokemon fan myself as well. So you're not alone.

    I think it is far more rare to find neurotypical people that play the tcg than it is to find autistic people that play pokemon. Like go to a local and tell me it isn't like a moth to a flame (I am autistic myself) announcing the attacks and shuffling your deck and tapping cards is a big stim for me. Heck, the creator of pokemon is pretty autistic too. So you are very much not alone
