The theme split is going to be:

Tried to hide their autism (whether directly or indirectly) as the Town trait  with Not known to have actively hidden autism as Mafia trait

This clearly has nothing to do with good vs evil, it's a themesplit to increase awareness of asperger's and autism. More autistic people, until very recently, were 'in the closet' than weren't. That is the reality of it and what I also want to highlight.

Being known for one's Autistic Specturm Disorder and hiding it in the time period before it was seriously known about has nothing to do with hiding the name, instead it has to do with masking well in society or not.

This is to allow there to be flexibility to Mafia to both get away with a real claim and choose to research well and pick a good fakeclaim.

Mafia will not be given a fake-claim pool as I predict a small player pool with what you claim being a large way to catch people out.

I will try my best to balance the setup well.

Actually this theme is somewhat hard to justify later in terms of I can definitely justify someone hiding it but the ones that didn't aren't gonna be inherently obvious, though maybe that's a good thing.

That's fine by me, the game doesn't need to start at all. Mharman can do it now if he wants to.

Food for thought.


In terms of a spectrum of behaviour, it could be argued that we all display a behaviour that can be identified and categorized.

As such, we could all be said to be autistic......In so much as we all develop and establish a modus operandi within a recognised spectrum of behaviour.

Nonetheless society has evolved and in doing so singles out those at one end of the spectrum for special consideration.

Or perhaps more accurately one might suggest, that some who consider themselves to exhibit behaviour at the one end of the spectrum, single out those at the other end for special consideration.

Basically hierarchical dominance relative to inherent ability....Normal social structure in other words.

In simple terms....When I was a kid no one was autistic, it was just that people were not all the same.


Just an observation and in no way suggesting that special consideration should not be given to those who struggle to cope with modern social demands.

Nope, when you were a kid, the autistic, adhd and plenty of others were called unruly and disciplined mercilessly until they developed detrimental habits to suppress themselves that made them unhappy and toxic (both to others and themselves).

You seem to have ignored the rest of my post.

And yep, to a certain extent I agree with what you say.

Though one does wonder at the current abundance of socio-psychological problems in Western societies.

Maybe it's simply a case of being soft, which in the longer term nurtures a negative reaction from a young brain, rather than a positive one.

Perhaps we are loosing the instinctive knack of parenting.

And there is also the effects of electronic data intrusion to be considered.


I personally don't accept that it is merely a modern phenomena, of naturally problematic kids, who would previously have been ignored.

Though to be fair how do we define what is and isn't natural?

Tough, you are blocked for gaslighting me elsewhere and probably only signed me up to annoy me further.

you brought those topics out of nowhere and you mischaracterised one of my posts. I was pointing it out.

You easily get annoyed when your established database is challenged.

Other opinions are to be expected.

Especially if fact cannot be established.

So we recognise certain issues relative to physiological performance.....Notably, sexual behaviour and mental variation.

And to your credit, you have tendency to adopt a liberal caring point of view.

Whereas I adopt a moderate thoughtful approach.

Ultimately nothing is right and nothing is wrong.

Nonetheless, the medium of Dart provides a platform, wherein we are able/supposed to challenge each others perception.
