Characters you think are autistic!

Post Reply New Topic

I'm watching Abbott Elementary and am definitely getting signs from Gregory. In fact I think they've all but said it in the show.

There's an episode where the characters make a huge deal about his eating habits and that's what really tipped me off. That is SUCH a relatable experience and it's fun to see it portrayed in media because it's gosh darn annoying IRL and people need to mind their own business.

Hank Hill from the cartoon King Of The Hill has lots of autistic traits. He's very direct & straightforward, he's kind of naive socially, he has problems expressing affection, he has a special interest which is propane, he's very predictable & likes routine, he's very set in his ways & does not handle sudden unexpected changes well. A bit or a lot of these traits are probably explained by Hank's abusive dad Cotten. Cotten fought in the army during World War 2 & Cotten acted like Hank was a military cadet & Cotren was Hank's sargent. Cotten often criticized Hank who could never measure up to Cotten's military expectations due to Hank being a kid.
