Samuel wrote a letter to the director of Overwatch, Jeff Kaplan, to ask whether Symmetra, his favorite character, has autism. He was pleasantly surprised when he received a reply from Mr. Kaplan himself a month later. It turns out that Symmetra is indeed autistic. She is also a popular, well-loved heroine, representing how autism is only one small aspect of a person’s individuality.
