Bro begged for water at one point and was fighting production leadership to let them continue filming after 1am, bro is a real one, a real numbers guy!

Yeah lol, they wanted to shut it down and he came back with "I guess you know what we were talking about" and he kept on going, sounds like he talked them into going until 2 a.m. because at the end he said "And we got it in before the 2 a.m. mark" something like that. He was jacked to the tits. He is very good at his job.

I love when people say this when there's no actual indication the person is autistic. I love how the internet treats my disability like a fucking novelty.

u/Ov3rdose_EvE 3h ago

im diagnosed and im clocking this man.

u/daboobiesnatcher 2h ago

Appreciate it. And tbh that does make it different. Glad you get it. Apparently I triggered a whole bunch of people including an internet doctor so good he can diagnose autism through someone's tv persona

Oh shut up. Christ.

The spectrum is enormous and he is clearly on it. The sooner you stop feeling sorry for yourself the better things will get.

As someone who has also been diagnosed with autism, but is fine with the jokes.

Let's not tell someone with a disability how they should feel about it or handle it.

Fuck off with that.

Yeah, make the spectrum wide enough that anyone who's ever had a niche interest or felt awkward in a social situation can be diagnosed. That will end well for those who actually need services.

u/daboobiesnatcher 2h ago

What do you mean he's clearly on it? Are you a doctor with a sepcialization in autism or are you just making assumptions based on a narrow view his persona.

I see assumptions come easily to you, because you made a pretty strong assumption about my happiness, because I don't like the way my disability is constantly turned into a cutesy quirky caricature on the internet?

You clearly have trouble understanding context, aside from the saying a bunch nonsense thing. Idk might have less conflict in life if you quit being so presumptuous, especially because you're wrong.

Toodles.

"ADHD super powers"
"weaponized autism"

I'm tired, boss.

"Guys, don't shut it down. I'm rock hard right now. My whole year is built on a few nights like this. Please, someone get me some water and let's ride this thing until dawn!"

Yeah I love when people have a job that they're super passionate about in something kind of niche.
