Hey neurotypicals, you know how it is when you're hung over? When normal lights are too bright, and normal noises are so loud it hurts, and the last thing you want to do is be in a crowded place where random people try to talk to you?
For some of us, life is like that most of the time.
Thanks. It was inspired by an episode of Young Sheldon, where Connie gets bailed up by an angry young woman at her laundromat while struggling with a hangover.
I know Young Sheldon isn't always popular with other autistic people, due to the way Sheldon is written as the stereotypical, socially-clueless supergenius (as is Dr Sturgis). I get this.
But consider the way autistics tend to cluster. What if we look at the whole Cooper family as autistic? Or at least Sheldon's parents, both of whom seem autistic to me. What if we look at other characters as autistic, including Paige and Dr Linkletter?
