You need to be incredibly careful if you plan to do this, and I would honestly suggest not even trying.Â
If you do decide to do it, do all the research you can on the type of mental illness you want your character to portray. Avoid making it their only defining quality, or using it as a means to make your character the center of attention in every single situation, like so many people who RP this sort of character tend to do.
Furthermore, avoid using it as a tool to create a joke character. I have seen people RP a mentally deficient character to try and create 'amusing' situations, it is in bad taste to do this in my opinion.
Remember, without even knowing it, you may be RPing with someone who has a similar condition in the real world, and if you make light of it, you may end up making problems for yourself and them.
