Many of the people here adore Omi's character. I know there are endless posts of oohs and aahs where member gush over how cute he is to them. I don't know if it is the actor whom people like or the actual character. Either way neither appeal to me.
Frankly speaking Omi's type of trauma does not exist. It was pulled from the bogus book of psychology they pulled Anu's problem, Simi's breakdown and half the psychological problems we see on the show. I have never seen this kind of trauma of regression in my years on a psych unit and I have seen many things in my time. If Omi had a true diagnosis of autism, I would have had some respect for the writers, but to say he became this way following the death of his family makes no sense.
Second, I don't find anything adoreable or cute about his character. I find him irritating and holier than thou that it is aggravating to the highest degree. His overly "nice" behavior towards Neetu and is desire to help Abhi and Simi make no sense. Plus he doesn't even question Neetu's pregnancy but he's so supposed to be intelligent? Please someone what on earth is this supposed to be?
If people want this Omi Neetu romance, be my guest, but I cannot handle the amount we are getting these days. If a romance is supposed to blossom between Omi and Neetu, make it fast and give me a warning sign so I can opt out of watching those scenes. I would rather watch a test card (that's a blank colored screen) than watch Omi-Neetu drama. Talk about zero chemistry.

I am also tired of Omi's so-called cuteness and found a different portrayal in a recent movie much better. Why do TV shows and even movies insist on making people with mental challenges "cute" as if in some way that mitigates their condition or makes us sympathise. Most of them in real life want understanding, not people going "how cute" like they are lap dogs.
I am not a medico but I have read that autism or Asperger's syndrome are congenital conditions (i.e. developed at birth or age 0-3) and not triggered by trauma (unlike insanity which could be).
From the time Laila mooted it, I am looking forward to some Nakul-Neetu sparks actually. I don't want to see Nakul also thirsting for revenge against Sethis like RB.
Omi is still a useful character to have around coz we do need some "goodness" antidote to the likes of RB and Anita (one Abhi not enough!). For Omi, I would like the CVs to cut out the cute quotient and make him pleasant, observant, adamantly straight-forward. That will make him perceive things others don't (like Nakul's ego, Manju's double standards, Anita's manipulation), thwart the bad guys, and harmonise relations.

They never mentioned on the show that he suffers from either Autism or Asperger syndrome.

You are right, but clearly they are hinting at that. Such people are generally intelligent and can be quite normal yet are not normal in some areas such as social or emotional interactions, communication, dexterity, etc. Omi can't be mentally retarded or unstable coz he is running a business.

lata infact in the conversation with neetu thru phone he actually said he will be normal once the fear and the shock of the accident passes him. he is like this basically due to shock. so u can expect the change
