The sad reaction was referring to your autism, more than anything else. 😑

Well, as I know it, it's a disease that involves closure toward others, difficulty communicating and making friends, fear of the outside world, or am I wrong?

@Nikokaro yes, but it's not the same for everyone. for example, i really struggle with friendships, and i have social anxiety. so it's not fun but apparently there can also be good sides to autism, which i am sort of learning in therapy. but it's not a disease, it's a disability and it's not that sad

I am pleased with your confidence, optimism and mature, serene acceptance of your characteristics. 😊

I don't know your taste in games, but there are certainly a few games which you could use to train yourself.

Although in my case I also have ADHD with hyper-focus (as opposed to hyper- unable-to-focus), and I can feel my brain kind of turning off during gameplay, so I guess it counts as cheating somewhat >.<

But in any case, sadly I don't think it's possible to develop past a certain point, though you could try having fun maxing out your "stat" for all input methods compatible with your favorite games, like I did. I did learn some new skills with all the input methods I have tried, some of which I could sort of use with my preferred "main" input methods.

Oh, and how could I forget...

Mario64's controls simply just suck compared to modern games. Trust me, I have tried. In fact, it's so bad, that the most luck I had controlling Mario was with a keyboard... Yes, that includes uncomfortable button mapping for long jumping.

@Sono yeah i know that it's probably not possible for me to become the best gamer in the world/have the best ever hand eye coordination but it's also really not as bad as i thought, and apparently if i just keep trying it'll get better, so yeah haha!

and i've also figured out the control as well, which makes it easier. but i agree that sm64's controls aren't optimal, and many people online have said that the n64 controls were better. but hey, all that matters is having fun in the end and at least i can play pokemon hahaha

@Nikokaro Autism is by no means a disease and/or illness, you are born with it. Your brain is wired up in a way that works differently to other people, it stays with you for the rest of your life. People with autism can have difficulties in communication, learning, and interacting with others - autism can vary from person to person.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
