12 year old daughter has been playing. She's higher functioning autistic, doesn't understand teamwork, doesn't know how to play Rift and has never played as a Titan before. Yes we've tried to explain it but it just makes a wooshing sound as it flies overhead.
So if you see a female Titan wearing the Superblack shader and Sunbreaker mark running round like a headless chicken punching everything that moves and waving at everyone on the enemy team she's killed, that'll be her.
I'm sorry.
Edit: to all those asking if she's having fun, she's laughing her arse off and having a great time. She just asked me if she could change teams because the other side were losing so badly she wanted to go help them lol *facepalm*
Edit 2: I'm a Brit. Apologising is a national hobby. 😁

I take turns in the Crucible with my 8 yr old daughter. She doesn't know how to use both sticks correctly and would much rather have dance parties at the tower. I've made her a Hunter but, of course, she wants to use my toon instead. Don't ever apologize for having fun with your kids. It's just a game. My daughter isn't autistic... but she is a bad speller, lol.

This is what gaming is about. Having fun first and foremost. I remember me and my dad playing coop on Rainbow Six Vegas. We rearranged the furniture at night so we were directly in front of the television. I'll always remember those days.
-
Ultimately, it's a game and nothing else. If she is having fun, that's what matters. No apologies necessary.

Cool. I work in a retail environment, so I'm apologizing all day long for crap that isn't my fault and that I have zero control over. It's stimulating... like "sticking your key into that key cleaner on the wall" stimulating.

It's not a big deal on this game because you can't lose competitive rank.

Lol I have an autistic brother. This would be funny to see him try and do...

Also Destiny needs more of these awesome people! Stories like this make everyone happy!

Have some fun. And good luck on rank 5.

Can you get her to teach me some crucible skill. I'm severely lacking.

Ok...

For that, don't apologize. People take games too seriously. While it might be annoying to be on the receiving end, knowing the back story makes it highly satisfying to know she's having fun, and that's what games are about - fun.

Edited by DOOMSpartanJ777: 12/10/2016 9:15:23 PMhey i cant say id blame her there is just something so satisfying when you punch some one and watch them fly across the map lol and in response to your 2nd edit americans should probably follow suit. oh n kudos its a game its supposed 2 B fun. im actually adhd my self i know its not the same but its actually been studied and proven that asbergers autism and adhd/add are linked i honestly cant help myself sometimes and end up doing exactly what shes doing. im 23 or will be as of tuesday. shes probably really good with numbers and is quite brilliant.

1 ReplyA fellow brit here.. sarcasm does come before apology! Fish and chips and tea drinking comes before that. If the nipper is having fun then as far as im concerned shes good to go.

Np, gg parenting.

I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps you'll need to commit suicide a few times to even out your k/d afterwards. I'm also a Brit and satire, sarcasm and apologies are a staple diet

No apologies needed sir. If she is having fun then that is all that matters!

Bless her wee cotton socks. She can punch me anytime. Lovely to read this, you Sir/Madam are a great Daddy/Mummy xx

Love this 👍...... sorry if my fusion melts her away 😓

Glad I'm safe on my Xbox. Glad she's having fun though. That's what videogames are meant for anyways :)

I thought you were going to apologize because she was kicking our butts or something.

That's awesome!
