Depictions of autistic characters in media almost always fall into the “insanely rude but somehow tolerated” -type, or more rarely into the “innocently pure sweet cinnamon roll who’s oblivious about everything uwu”-cathegory, but I think it would be great to have a character somewhere who is very clearly on the spectrum, and also this dude fucks. Like, a lot. You start out assuming that this guy’s remarks about how much he regularly gets laid are some sort of a self-deprecating, sarcastic joke, but as the story goes on and you get to know the characters better, it becomes evident that not only are women drawn to him everywhere he goes, clearly the ladies also keep coming back for seconds.
And when someone wonders how in the fuck does he do that when he literally can’t look people in the eyes he just goes “they are enthralled by my pure animal energy and unfathomble autism” and isn’t joking. And when asked why nobody else has managed to replicate that he just goes “skill issue.” And throws out the note that a woman just handed to him - with her number clearly written on it - right in front of her because talking to two people at once is overwhelming and he is not in the mood for that now.
