Disabled Snarker: Difference between revisions

What it says on the tin - a character with some sort of disability and strong sarcastic tendencies. This can be portrayed in a variety of ways - maybe they use snark as a coping mechanism or way to vent, maybe their position as a social outsider has given them an irreverent view of the world, maybe the author is deliberately trying to subvert the [[Magical Differently Abled Person]]-stereotype, or perhaps smartassitude is just endemic to the character's nature. Subtrope of [[Deadpan Snarker]], usually overlaps with [[Emo Teen]] to some extent if the character fits that age group. Compare [[Disability As an Excuse For Jerkassery]].

* [[Stephen Hawking]], in [[Real Life]].
