Sims 4 introducing "disabled sims"?
I watched the University trailer, and I was very puzzled when I saw people wearing robotic arms. I thought did the sims 4 just hint at the addition of prosthetic arms, therefore sims missing limbs??? ...

As for mental disabilities, I feel like traits can represent that without being called exactly that. If you make a sim squeamish, perfectionist and a loner, that would represent autism pretty well. If traits actually did anything in sims 4.
We just need a lot more traits and be able to have more at once to make proper sims again.
I don't think squeamish works as it applies to bugs. My son loved bugs growing up. They were his "friends". It is more human touch that he dislikes, especially holding hands and hugs.
And it is not so much perfectionism as it exists in game as it is an all or nothing approach to his interests. When he wanted to draw, that's all he did. When he was done with it, he almost never did it again except when called for by school. And then it was minimal effort unlike the near perfect drawings he did earlier.
But the loner trait is pretty accurate. Also the distant trait that teens sometimes get in Parenthood. He gets that way sometimes with family. It I can be off and on like that too.
I think the hardest thing about portraying autism in game is that it affects different individuals differently. Because they are individuals.
