Warriors for Autism charity eventAutistic Self-Advocacy NetworkMarch Across AzerothThe Forsaken are a race that I've identified greatly with over the past 17 years, because it's a story which their mirrors my own as an autistic person. Like the Forsaken, we didn't ask to be born this way, but we too often often feel abandoned by society - ignored, dismissed, and spoken for, but not listened to. The Horde's coalition of unlikely allies reflects the type of acceptance those of us with autism have been searching for all our lives, and this March Across Azeroth is a symbolic journey; one small step representing our desire to be heard as equals.free starter accountsLil NitroTwittertwitch.tv/desmephistodiscord serverTiltify Campaign for the Autistic Self Advocacy Networkearning Keystone Master with a controllercollecting all plate armor appearancesone-handed weapon transmogsAzeroth Auto PilotNational Alliance on Mental IllnessAutistic Self-Advocacy NetworkJoyful Heart FoundationCalifornia Fire Foundationinterview with PC GamerWoW for 36 hoursDesm's Fistostribute item

As a parent to a child with A$%^&*er's it warms my heart to see people shine a light and raise awareness for a disease that so few people actually understand. Thanks also to wowhead for covering this story.Comment by Shad0wK1illerWait, how does this change the way autism is viewed in gaming?Comment by PotatoHamsterNobody would know by simply looking at/playing with me that I'm Autistic, I have A#$%^&ers. All the same, I once opened up with my diagnosis to a former guild's members, and they booted me. I guess they didn't like being outperformed by a "rtard", as they so kindly put it.

Keep on truckin', Des, and I hope the devs listen and give you your Dracthyr Warriors!
