Pretty accurate I'd say for the majority of autistic men without other comorbidities trying to blend in among allistics while a few of these "men of steel" care less what people think and are more like Superman.

Mmmh... I wouldn't label Clark Kent as Superman, he is his alter ego in fact Peter Parker is even more in the spectrum.
When we are masked those traits can not exist so I won't call it Superman... when he is doing Superman those problems don't exist and society is different. :)

I had talked here about but I think is like for an actor interprete a role.

Btw an example even Peter Parker is like Spiderman.
