But genuinely there's no way someone sat those two down and pitched personas that were quite this autistic. It outstrips regular kayfabe autism to a degree that it suggests at least something at the core. Like if you asked someone with autism to "fake" having autism, you would probably get a performance that for all its artifice, in its weird unexpected decisions, still suggests an inner real autism. "A trace of the true self exists in the false self".
