I can definitely see why. Topaz’s smile and her engagement with Numby all feels genuine and natural. The kid probably doesn’t feel stress or fear when looking at her because of the kindness and sincerity she displays. On top of that her design is colorful and for sure caught his eye. We probably won’t ever know the true reasons why this happened but the character just hit all the right bells for his brain to engage with
As an autistic person yeah that is something that would happen and these games are generally popular with autistic people good for him hope he gets to play the game when he grows and I hope he C6 them
my little sister also have sign of autism, she's 8 years old, she can talk, but she usually talk with herself and barely paying attention to anyone or anything else. first time she started a conversation with me because of hsr, she wanted me to play seele because she love her. You guys can't imagine how happy i was when she first time started a conversation with someone by herself
i thought the “topaz helps autistic kid speak” story was a 2.2 quest thing when i heard it, this is an irl thing?? based ngl happy for that kid and the parents
The whole point of 1.4 and 2.1:these people are flawed and traumatized.they do what they do for what they think is the greater good Ipc haters:im going to ignore that :)
For people curious, I actually think the kid was tryna say topaz and numby. But what came out was “opaz nami”. Very cute and huge accomplishment for the kid.
I used to think it was pathetic that characters like Firefly were my comfort characters and somewhat helped me deal with my neurodivergence, but this story made me feel less guilty
video games have been my special interests for years (diagnosed autism since i was like 8), it's a good and perfectly normal thing to find comfort in fiction
It's really never pathetic. I have been constantly bullied away from my school's social circle back when I was young so fictional characters like my lego-figures and video games were my friends. I think the only thing to be careful with is like Penacony's sweet dream; you have to know the line between reality and fiction, and always aware that you will one day wake up to face reality.
Theres other kids in Dreamflux Reef who are disabled, one of them has confirmed autism. It honestly surprised me that they actually said it instead of just implying or coding like usual. Its very sweet.
Yooooo i thought this was actual lore in the game bruv until 20 seconds later after reading it and realizing it processing it i figured it out this soooooo made my night really happy for the family and their kid hope everything keeps going well for everyone who sees this
A friend of mine told me this and as someone with Autism this story made me love and respect Topaz, I will get her one day to show my appreciation for what she has done. God this story was so sweet and wholesome
tho you wouldn't know when her second rerun gonna be, could be a year or so but considering that she's pretty important to the story, as she is IPC's Ten Stonehearts, we could probably see her pretty often, knowing that hoyo oftentimes release & rerun characters with currently undergoing story
As someone with Asperger’s I absolutely love this. While I personally never had social issues I have met others that do and have a deeper understanding than most. This is just so awesome and wholesome. I loved Topaz when she debut but I love her even more after this! 🥰
Being Shy and being Autistic are very different things. You can be extroverted and autistic or Introverted and neurotypical, even if introversion is common among autistic people, It's not a determining factor for their diagnosis. But good job for looking things up before speaking, even if it wasn't entirely correct, more people should do that. Keep it up ~♡ (I am literally so proud. Most people here never bother to google things, good job!)
Bro holy sh I swear I almost cried I don't wanna sound rude but it's amazing how a fictional character helped a young boy. I'm very happy for the kid & family.
I was reminded of this memory due to the recent announcement of her rerun. My son was born during the pandemic and just celebrated his 4th birthday last week. While he developed, we observed that he wasn't quite meeting the neurotypical development goals for his age. He doesn't make eye contact, doesn't speak as much (few times per day, mostly mumbles and no coherent words), prefers to play by himself, lines up toys, all confirmed by our pedia to be bahaviors associated with kids on the spectrum. I tried including him to different activities, but he doesn't seem as interested. We just go with things that make him happy. While I was playing the game, I was roaming around Penacony using Topaz to look for some missing chests. As he happened to pass by, he approached the screen pointing at Topaz and started mumbling. I asked him, “Who are you pointing to? Topaz and Numby?” He nodded, and said “Opas Nami” I couldn't describe the feeling. Tears just immediately filled my eyes. “Yes! Topaz and Numby!” I handed him the controller and let him roam around the overworld. When he discovered her technique where Numby jumps and teleports, he laughed uncontrollably. He gets giddy when Numby runs off into the distance and finds a chest and claps his hands. He laughs while he chases trains in Jarilo VI, sits by the lady who sells song lotus cake in the Luofu, and laugh at the cars at Penacony when they dodge him. He sometimes idles to see Numby flying while Topaz makes international calls, but his favorite is when Topaz hugs Numby. During play time he hugs me and says “Dada, Opas Nami” with a big grin and we'll play a quick session. Since then, he's experimented with different words and became more open to talking. Because of what they've done for my son, I will never remove Topaz and Numby from my active lineup. Good thing Ratio was free for the synergy! Snagged an Aventurine as well for her. Thank you for helping my son talk, “Opas Nami”
Speaking can be… hard. But if we get focused on a task, we don’t have to think about speaking! It’s easier that way. And hyperfocusing is a great way for us to mute out the sensory hell that is the real world. I do question the youngn’s interest in the space IRS, but if it helps ‘em communicate, then good for them!
As someone who was diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum at an early age, and also as someone who adores Topaz and Numby, this is the best thing I have heard all week... no, all MONTH! 😭 💕
I like that that on the video about Topaz helping an autistic child the next linked video is "IPC detonates 24 planets" LMAO. The Topaz giveth and she taketh away.
“Yes queen topaz” we all say in unison
Yes~ Queen~ Topaz~
Yes queen Topaz
Yes, Queen Topaz
Yes Queen Topaz
Yes queen topazzzz
"Opas Nami" is the kind of wholesome gibberish I strive for
it took me a second but maybe he's trying to say topaz and numby? either way im happy for him lol
@@milan6193 no yeah you're right
@@milan6193Nah, he just ate the future future fruit and realised he’s a One-Piece fan in the making…
Oppais Nami??? 😮
He opened his mouth and started speaking hilichurlian 😂
As an autistic person myself I think thats very wholesome and nice for the kid
Sorry but ,You don't sound autistic at all!
As a second person who has autism/neurodivergence, I second this
As someone who has Asperger, I third this
(Sorry for my English! It's not my first language 😢)
As someone who does not have any issues I fourth this
As someone who has difficulty speaking to people I don't know,I fifth this

I think having numby with her helps it, just the image of the character with a trotter beside them is going to garner attention and its cute
Yeah!
As an autistic person yeah that is something that would happen and these games are generally popular with autistic people good for him hope he gets to play the game when he grows and I hope he C6 them
erm do you mean *E6*
@@N.a.t.h.a.n. yeah sorry I confuse the games
as an autistic person, that's true

Could you please tell us more on what games are good for autism?
god the sound effects every 2 seconds is rotting my brain.
I can't unhear them now
it’s cute though
Ye kinda tbh

topaz haters been real quiet lately
They are still out there, there's people who just generalize the whole IPC and hate anyone related to them on a woke "i hate big corpo" basis
The whole point of 1.4 and 2.1:these people are flawed and traumatized.they do what they do for what they think is the greater good

topaz helped the autistic kid so he grows up to be a wage slave. so wholesome bro
I'm kinda late, but this is the most wholesome thing I've read this month.
Topaz really gave him neuron activation
For people curious, I actually think the kid was tryna say topaz and numby. But what came out was “opaz nami”. Very cute and huge accomplishment for the kid.
I used to think it was pathetic that characters like Firefly were my comfort characters and somewhat helped me deal with my neurodivergence, but this story made me feel less guilty
Nah man. Fiction can give us role models, comfort, feelings. That's the whole point
video games have been my special interests for years (diagnosed autism since i was like 8), it's a good and perfectly normal thing to find comfort in fiction

nah, as long as you know the line between fiction and reality, you're good. fictional characters can help us a lot :)
Hoyoverse should add this story as a 2nd companion mission or a side mission featuring Topaz
Aw that would be really cute
It helps that the newest Penacony patch actually mentions an autistic child (they even directly said the condition)
@@GiovansbillyI'd like to see where
@@meaty8887 the part where we went to the city where people.. respawn, when Robin talked with a granny
@@meaty8887meeting Robin in dreamflux reef
She talks to grace (the granny with no legs) where they explain the hardships a few kids go through
He's already so cultured.
Topaz would literally cry of joy if she ever found out
Kid's got good taste. Topaz is underrated af!
Agreed exe. Dem thighs!
Theres other kids in Dreamflux Reef who are disabled, one of them has confirmed autism. It honestly surprised me that they actually said it instead of just implying or coding like usual. Its very sweet.
As someone who was diagnosed with autism from a young age I love this story so wholesome
Honestly this is the most adorable thing I’ve heard all year. As an autistic person myself, I wish that kid well
That's so cute!
in opas and nami we trust ❤
Just another reason to add to why Topaz and Numby are my favorite characters in HSR
Yooooo i thought this was actual lore in the game bruv until 20 seconds later after reading it and realizing it processing it i figured it out this soooooo made my night really happy for the family and their kid hope everything keeps going well for everyone who sees this
I'm guessing when he grows up, Topaz will become his video game crush
Good taste.
Indeed, very good taste 🍷
I mean
i mean she aint called Top-ASS for a reason
@@richie_0740 you're supposed to use Zs instead
As an autistic person and Topaz enjoyer this makes waaaaay to happy :D
As someone with autism, I think this is very cute and makes me appreciate Topaz more
The kid was lucky to meet topaz
IM NOT CRYING UR CRYING!
As someone who's also autistic am pretty happy for that young lad pretty wholesome stuff ❤
Topaz and numby are certified best girl and pet in our universe now
Sometimes autism like me needed help like Topaz, i very like it.😢❤
A friend of mine told me this and as someone with Autism this story made me love and respect Topaz, I will get her one day to show my appreciation for what she has done. God this story was so sweet and wholesome
Praise the Numby for he have brought joy to another soul🙏
topass saving the day
that kid knows
@@alvaroc5669As that kid, I know (I got Topaz E0S1 in 10 single pulls, THEN Robin as an extremely cute cherry on top)
lore accurate topaz. a woman with a kind heart who tries her best to do things peacefully
Im gonna cry this is so amazing
Sorry but not even this psyop operation wont make me pull for Topaz, i will be aiming to get her once i get firefly
Literally me. It pains me to skip topaz and fu Xuan for firefly but we must stay focused
exactly, we must stay focused brothers, we must stay focused
tho you wouldn't know when her second rerun gonna be, could be a year or so
but considering that she's pretty important to the story, as she is IPC's Ten Stonehearts, we could probably see her pretty often,
knowing that hoyo oftentimes release & rerun characters with currently undergoing story
Me who got her on release + her E1 + Firefly: 😎
(though my chances of getting Jade are low now even though I do also want her)
As someone with Asperger’s I absolutely love this. While I personally never had social issues I have met others that do and have a deeper understanding than most. This is just so awesome and wholesome. I loved Topaz when she debut but I love her even more after this! 🥰
I thought this was lore for a second ngl
I love how Topaz is just there chillin
Good taste kid.
Make a storyquest specifically for this boy.
Being Shy and being Autistic are very different things. You can be extroverted and autistic or Introverted and neurotypical, even if introversion is common among autistic people, It's not a determining factor for their diagnosis.
But good job for looking things up before speaking, even if it wasn't entirely correct, more people should do that. Keep it up ~♡ (I am literally so proud. Most people here never bother to google things, good job!)
Ahh yes my glorious Queen Topaz casually making another W never doubted her🙏
As autistic my self i glad the boy can open up for this
Plus he was born be a gamer from that on 😂😂😂😂
I kinda can relate as an autistic person, I was also the same. I don't remember what made me talk tho
Duality of IPC
-helping an autistic
-blowing up 20+ planets
And then there's me who lost all his friends after I became Aventurine 2.0
What
Well yeah, dropping a few metric tons worth of chips on your friends while yelling "ITS ALL OR NOTHING" is typically considered bad form
Generally your friends would also avoid you if you became guinafen
@@Slightlycamouflaged they would probably be like "yo, I'm friend with guinaifen" when she became popular
if my friend started telling me "bust or maybe I'll take it all" id drop them too
W topaz and numby fr. She out here helping my peoples.
Then she forced the boy to work for IPC or get in a massive debt :3
Now THIS is an example of a somewhat non problematic joke
As someone with autism this story warms my heart.
Now that’s what I call good PR
I loved thsi character ever since I met her bro this has been my favourite story in a long time
THATS MY GIRL
no
THATS OUR GIRL EVERYONE
LONG LIVE QUEEN TOPAZ!!!
Thats gonna be the most random autism cure ever but good for the kid

This story is so wholesome
“Opas, Nami” we all say in unison 🗣️
My parents had to threaten to cut my tongue off for me to actually start speaking (they were _actually_ planning to cut my tongue off via hospital).
What the fuck is wrong with ur parents😭😭
That's why she is the best.
Wait until he knows what I used Topaz for in MMD, he'll go back quite again.
Topaz Giving us a while other level of Neuron activation considering she's arguable the Nicest of the IPC members I can see why he'd like her
At first I legitimately thought this is some in game lore
yet another reason to love topaz and numby :) also this story is super wholesome omg
As a person who used to have autism before, this is kinda wholesome.
You... Don't have it anymore?
@@ihrnoir Yeah, now I am able to communicate very well
@@NoelJohnCarlo Oh, I thought it was a "forever" thing
