>>6247012One of the key signs of autism is prolonged staring at objects and people. Ever been in a room with a real aspie/autist and they're staring at you? It is creepy. Soul-less, raise-the-hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck, fucking creepy.
Also, you'll notice when he's outside the bathroom door, he's not thinking about catching a peek at her. He's just wanting to give her the doll. If he was perving on her, the author would have shown us.
What we do know of his sexual thought process, we discover when he finds the porn mag at the bookstore, his fantasy about Supergirl appearing to him naked, the porn video that wasn't a porn video, and Mrs White's tits (and oddly enough, his playing with his Battlestar Galactica toys).
Nothing even hints at him being a pedo. A useless waste of skin, sure, but not a diddler.
