The recent addition of neurodiversity is bad
Just today, I found out that Social Awkard trait from The Sims 4 High School Years is supposed to be neurodiversity representation. It really does feel disrespectful that the first intended addition ...

@PugLove888 I agree with you. Some neurodivergent individuals can have social anxiety due a variety of factors, and being socially awkward can be one of them (as a neurodivergent I am well aware of my behavior while hypo, which in turn makes me socially anxious when not hypo.. so fun). But there is the difference 2 even if they can be linked. Someone can be socially awkward and not have social anxiety as they may not be aware of their behavior.
That said, I do still stand by my comment about sims hating other sims too frequently. It seems unnecessarily cruel and I think it could have been done a little better. Especially since it came with a Teen pack - being hated by the whole school just because you said hi is so mean! Lol.

@ValFreya13 , well, sometimes if you go to a small enough school the whole class can hate one student for being different, but that level of realism is a bit much in a game. So, I agree that it does seem excessive. Especially with family or with friends. Most people you are close with in real life are used to you acting different than most people, and if they are family, they very well might be neurodivergent too! 😊 That is how it is in my family, anyway. 😄
