2 days agoIf you ask me, a ton of musicians look and act like they have autism, and that’s incidentally the most positive such relationship I’ve seen, because it’s people who lack (normal) natural expression overexerting themselves to accomplish it in a setting where that’s expected and accepted, and then people actually enjoy it, so great.

Well, I suppose it depends how you define “autistic” for this purpose, and that’s difficult to do in general. I would say River Tam and El (Stranger Things) are very similar characters in both behavior and background. For that matter most of the cast of Stranger, but especially her. Leeloo from the 5th Element. Big Bang Theory is beyond obvious. I think it partly depends whether you include the “nerd” trope, or are looking for really pronounced issues like the first two.
