Misha's disabillity?

[Jobriq]

Misha has no disability.

But if she did, it'd be her hair.

But then she cuts it....

But then she cuts it....

And then she "graduates", I.E., gets kicked right the hell out.

kicked out because she's no longer disabled?

kicked out because she's no longer disabled?

Well, and for generally giving Mutou headaches.

as good a reason as any ;D

Well, we learn in Lilly's path that
a) they don't take students with mental disabilities (accomodating for those as well, on top of all the physically handicapped ones would probaly be too much for one single school/institution)
b) not everyone at Yamaku is disabled

combined with Misha's statement of wanting to be an interpreter, allthought one might suspect other motifs, this line is telling:
"I thought it could be interesting, and even if everyone hates me, I figured they'd leave me alone"
Perhaps a mixture of her tendency to want to escape what she sees to percieve as glaring bland/boringness ( hence, bright pink hair), and having been hated/harassed before. Maybe she was bashed for being a lesbian, or because of her... non-standart personality.

Human behavior and its many aspects are a spectrum like everything else, and there needs to be a spectrum for evolution to work, and for society to function (as ppl with different talents or lack thereof complement each other), it's just that many institutions/standarts of a society are made to carter to the bulk of the gaussian bell for entirely practical reasons. Some ppl are closer to the fringes, without necessarily having anything pathological about them - I mean, this game tends to call actual pathological occurences by their names where it wants them to be percieved.

Similar things could be said in Regards to Rin, I guess.

Misha is probably just a girl who is somewhat hyper (or can feighn it very well) and doesn't happen to be a particularly bright bulb - personality traits.

Remember, Misha is Japanese. If she wasn't bullied for being different/a lesbian (or Bi, it's never fully stated and the Devs have said they're trolls so I take what they say with a grain of salt :p )I'd be extremely surprised.

She broke a nail in 3rd grade and her parents overreacted.

angleman syndrome?

angleman syndrome?

I don't understand how people can guess these obscure conditions without even bothering with basic research: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelman_syndrome

"Most afflicted people will not develop more than 5–10 words, if any at all."

One out of many things listed on the Wikipedia page that is pretty much incompatible with Misha. AS isn't some minor condition - it's a severe developmental impairment. It would honestly be like arguing she has narcolepsy because she occasionally gets sleepy.

[Xanatos]

Misha's disability is being fat.

I didn't mean to target you specifically. Angelman syndrome just happens to be one of several obscure disabilities that people decide might apply to Misha because the Wikipedia summary sounds like some of her more obvious quirks.

For those of you who care to read about it, you can read an informational PDF about Angelman syndrome here: http://www.angelman.org/_angelman/asset ... -19-10.pdf

To highlight a couple key points:

- Even in the highest functioning, conversational speech does not develop.
- They can learn sign language better than spoken language, but it is still limited in the extent of vocabulary and is often impaired by poor motor functionality.

And there's also the fact that Angelman syndrome would more likely than not be one of those "mental disabilities" that Misha herself said Yamaku does not accomodate.
