television shows should not make one off jokes about character possibly being autistic, not because it’s in poor taste or anything, but because it invites speculation on an alternate, better show in which that person’s autism was actually focused on as an important aspect of their character and something integral to their arc and development throughout the series

#Sorry I’m Eli moskowitz autism joke posting again #I just don’t think you should mention it if you’re just gonna be intentional with it but then again these are writers who only see autism a #A joke and not something their “cool” and “badass” character could be #And like I know that the implications of that scene and his arc in the show is supposed to be like “see he’s not autistic he’s normal now”#Bc I doubt the ck writers have ever like talked to an autistic person #But unfortunately they’ve achieved the exact opposite bc s2&3 Eli is sooooo autism it’s crazy #Guy with poor emotional regulation going on an evil masking arc #Sorry I think abt it all the time I yearn for what could have been #Sometimes I wonder if Jacob knows how autistic that guy is
