Miles Edgeworth is autistic
if im gonna have this URL i might as well make a post about it. so here goes:
- Edgeworth has trouble expressing his feelings to others. In the game, people often think hes glaring at them but heâs really not angry at all.Â
- its also noted on the AA wikia that he doesnât always know that he comes off as cruel/condescending to others. He feels he is just saying the truth.
- He often has trouble looking at people in the eye; a lot his talk sprites are him side glancing or looking away.Â
- He hates unnecessary social events, such as reward ceremonies. In Rise From the Ashes, he felt that getting the prosecutors trophy was a pointless waste of time. Even as a child, he received many awards for things like golf, essays and playing the flute, but hated being in the limelight for these achievements. Â
(I suppose you could say marriage as a social event too?.. he does say he finds the ceremony to be pointless, but idk maybe heâs also saying that since heâs gay and just wants people to stop assuming heâs straight.)
- has some troubles with speech. He has trouble pronouncing stuff (im finghh, pyscho-locks, ect), sometimes stutters, or just responds with silence even though he wants to say something.
- He takes things said to him at face value. Even though its February, when Gumshoe says âAsk Bikini, she was a witness to the crimeâ; Edgeworth interprets it as trying to find an actual woman in a bikini. when Sister Bikini actually meets with him and even introduces her own name, Edgeworth mentally thinks âOkay, but where is the woman in the bikini..?â
- He needs to have things perfectly planned out beforehand. He will do this in trials to make sure he wins, sometimes even laying out traps in the witnessâ testimony to make sure things go his way. When things go awry, he gets visibly very upset. Unexpected events that break his routine/plans make him easily frustrated. EX: In the Rise From the Ashes case, when Meekins tells Edgeworth unexpected information, he gets quickly angry, even getting everyone out of his office.Â
- These following points are really head-canonish (srry), but we can tell from the Farewell, my Turnabout case that he does know a lot about teddy bears. he might like soft sensory things. He is said to be persnickety about his clothing too; he wears really heavy layers of clothes, this could also be a sensory thing. Tea might be a comfort food of his, seeing as he has elaborate tea sets brought to him by the hotel.Â
- Last but not least, both law and the Steel Samurai seem to be special interests of Edgeyâs. As a child, he was very passionate about learning about law and watching his fatherâs trials. as for Steel Samurai, he absolutely loves the show. He info dumps about the show to Gumshoe, owns merchandise of the show and mentions of the show make him really happy.
that is all, thank you for your time *bow*
