This is so pretty. Well done ❤️

when we were kids, we would play just like this,

and our moms would call us in for dinner.

but no one calls us anymore.

OKAY, so I know no one ever talks about SAO abridged on here but it's version of Kirito is like definitely autistic, right? I have the tism and I'm just saying, he probably has it too.

I'm not sure about the original Kirito since I couldn't get through season one but i genuinely feel so connected to abridged Kirito. He's so bad at socializing, he's so insecure, and he has a special interest in video games. I mean come on, he would rather live in a video game than in reality. Season 2 really shows the true scope of his autism. He went through serious character growth the last season so he's a lot less egotistical in this one. Because of this we can see what he was hiding before. He genuinely cares about Tiffany and their friendship and he shows this by directly stating it which is like a literal and blunt way to do things which can be autistic. He gets all excited about the new VR fairy game to the point he didn't hear Tiffany talk about his missing wife. He starts rambling and My God I love that scene so much cause he's just so happy and we don't get to see him happy too much. His little "Noooooooo," when he was acting out him destroying all the noobs lives in head rent free.

Kirito also speaks in a lot of sarcasm and movie references. And that is not necessarily an autism symptom but I do that a lot and so do a lot of other autistic people I know. He also takes things literally, like when Asuna (is that how you spell it?) said he really speaks from the heart in episode 2 and he responds, "I thought I was speaking from my mouth, guess that shows what I know about autonomy." He seemed completely serious too.

I just LOVE this Kirito so much to the point when SAO is mentioned I want to say I love that anime but then I remember that it's not the anime that I love but the abridged version on YouTube. Like, I see Kirito fan art and I have to remind myself that it's not the character I fell in love with.

I find it kinda funny that I resonate so much with a fan made thing rather then the original.

Anyway, this giant thing is just a scratch on the surface of reasons I love SAO abridged. The character development, humor, emotional moments and story beats are just so good.

I can go on and on about why I think Kirito is autistic too. Like, I only named a few things.

WAIT, THIS IS ME. THIS IS MY LIFE.

No wonder bkg can't stand his ass

All of the other campers are jealous of cabin 7 because Apollo is always with them and shows his love so openly and they just want a similar relationship with their parents

Most characters I connect and relate to are usually about my age. There was a time a couple years ago that late twenties was pushing it. But look at me now, fully just, enamored and invested with seong gi-hun. A 51 year old man who is older than my dad by several years.

Love you baby girl 😘
