I’m 1/3 of the way through American Psycho and I’m diagnosing Patrick with autism
#as an autistic person I can do this#american psycho#patrick bateman#okay but actually#he’s like on the verge of tears every time he doesn’t have the ‘right’ table at a restaraunt#covered his ears because the ‘whine of Evelyn’s voice was deafening’#spent 6 pages on his morning routine#3 on his workout routine#chapters and chapters listing things people wear#and a whole chapter dedicated to his favorite songs and why genesis is the best out of European 80s music#Patrick Bateman is so autism coded

FUCK YEAH!!!!
I’m currently in the very very early stages of writing an essay about how blatantly autist-coded Patrick Bateman is (coming from someone who is autistic™️)
Would anyone like to read it once it’s done? (comment/like/reblog if so)
And/or
Does anyone have any thoughts they’d like to add?
#also I’m not autistic but totally agree#I’m not saying he’s positive rep or anything but#it’s so glaringly obvious#I think perhaps it’s just coincidental because of the fact that both sociopathy and autism share the tendency/survival need#to constantly mask and put on a facade because their natural self is considered inappropriate or ‘unacceptable’#albeit for very different reasons#sorry I’m rambling and probably sound stupid rn#honestly now I wanna write an essay on this lmao#american psycho#patrick bateman#autism#autistic characters#autistic coded character
