In light of its recent Oscar snubs...

Did anyone else see an extremely Autistic/Neurodivergent/Neuroqueer reading in Nope?

Like I'm not even counting OJ's autistic coding, I'm talking about everything else.

As someone with an (at the time) extremely recent AuDHD confirmation, plus a lot of knowledge/experience in primatology and animal behavior, I acknowledge that it could mostly be confirmation bias. I also doubt it was 100% intentional on the parts of everyone who worked on the movie.

Thoughts?

#idk man at least heavy theming #taming intelligent beings for seamless integration into society #often with the added bonus of exploitability #mistaking difference for simplicity/less-than-ness #the necessity of meeting beings where they are #on the flip side the anxiety and fear of acknowledgement that often turns negative violent or deadly #the apparent impossibility of staying under the radar despite your best efforts #that even if you pass as typical in the moment you still have needs and differences that need to be respected #so so so much more #so many tiny details #like idk the electrics all shutting off are like my brain when I'm confronted with a perceived threat are you kidding me #nope #nope movie #jordan peele #adhd #audhd #autistic #neurodivergent #nd
