Harry Potter character an Aspie

[FIVER]

I think that the character Luna is an Aspie as well. Does anyone feel the same way?

 

[Thinx]

Yes I agree. She's the one I most identify with. She's like a 'female phenotype' Aspie too, which is not quite the same as the way male Aspies are often portrayed.

 

[FIVER]

Yes, I identify with Luna too!

Growing up reading the books I was afraid of luna (don't know why) so I've never identified her as that, but she certainly is strange so it's possible.

Can I ask why you were afraid of her?

Not sure if she's autistic, but I enjoyed her character very much.

Calm and collective in the midst of chaos and tragedy.

Yeah, I don't mind that. I'm not sure why I was, one possibility may be because she had her mom die and at the time I really didn't want to lose my mom, so if I thought of luna I guess my brain equated that with the possible death of my mom.

I understand.

Wife and I were watching Harry Potter and she immediately knew Luna was the female I'd be most attracted to.

Not that I'd turn down a date with Hermione.

I identify with her, as well!

"I always get a lot of letters from people with autism who relate to Luna a lot," Lynch said. "Obviously, I don't fully understand the condition, but, I understand this feeling of you just can't communicate with those around you and it gets misunderstood, and you just want people to see your heart, to see how you feel, but it's hard to communicate that."

Yes! Though I didn't think so until I learned more about autism. It also helps that my sister hates her and often bullied me lol.
