Unlike most pink Cures, she's on the autism spectrum, so she has a lot of trouble socializing with others. Most of the talking she does is to herself, and she often speaks loudly, but doesn't realize that she's doing it. She also does socially awkward things that she doesn't realize aren't acceptable. Your idea of adding an autistic character sounds social justice warrior to us, and also offensive. I know some autistic people, and they act normal just as I do. And why does it matter if the pink Cure is autistic or not? Are you trying to say Miyuki, Megumi, and Ichika are autistic just because they can be socially awkward? That's not what autism is. Can't we just have established identifiable characters with a wonderful story. Do I want autistic people or whoever they are to please me or some people? Of course not. If the Cure isn't a feminist, I don't care. If the Cure isn't acting like a boy, I don't care about that either. We care about characters with a personality, and a story to develop. I want to see a crybaby funny pink Cure because Toei hadn't touched that in a long time to differentiate other Cures. Sorry if I offended anyone. I'm autistic myself, so I though I would be able to establish Ren's personality well. My goal in making Ren autistic was not to represent a minority, but to differentiate her from other pink Cures. All the pink Cures I've seen are very friendly, sociable, and the glue that holds the team together. I thought that making Ren autistic like I am would be a nice contrast.
