Most of us with an autistic fixation on this franchise know that talking to casual fans or other assorted normies about it mostly leads to embarrassment and prevents you as being seen as anything other than an autistic weirdo.
I grew up knowing I had autism and I learned quickly that if you ever want to be treated normally, you have to be able to fake it. I fucked up in school and there was no coming back from it, but I can pretend to be normal at work, living far away from where I used to be.
