See, I was told I'm not stupid/disabled enough to be autistic. Remarks came from a social worker and a school teacher at elementary level. Both are probably seeing children with more obvious issues.
On autistic movie characters, I'd categorize shy geniuses as aspie candidates, not necessarily blunt creeps. I'll watch out for them moving forward
