  1. That’s not true, I’ve never seen her do a Roman salute

  2. Yeah, yeah, yeah I get it. Everyone is autistic and neurodivergent. Instagram tells me I am daily.

  3. Does tend to happen once folks have been through a proper diagnosis. You notice the tells in other people.

  4. Women are more likely to be diagnosed in adulthood. Same for ADHD.

  5. I love how I even open the article but cant find what “signs” the crew member spotted.

  6. Imagine someone from work telling you they think you might be autistic

  7. This make sense to me because there is an over representation of people who are biologically female and also autistic who identify as trans or non binary. I had a similar experience with my own sibling, who had some of the traits. I suspected ASD for a long time, and when they came out as non binary, I actually encouraged them to get tested as an adult. They also felt they might be on the spectrum for years, and lo and behold, they are!

  8. I am pretty sure it’s heroin not autism. But whatever.

  10. I have an adult kid that we had evaluated. Confirmed the strong ADHD, but not autism. They were also neglected in early childhood and have a lot of trauma from that still messing with them. They had some signs of autism but not others. Hence the ADHD diagnosis.

  11. Nowadays every normal person can have autism because we’ve redefined normal behavior to be a sign of it lol

  14. Ok, I’m going out on a limb and say she’s cluster B. I’ve seen more stories about her psychology than is reasonable.

  16. She most likely sucked ass to work with until they figured this out lmao

  19. This feels like the wrong way to market this show. It’s already got a bunch of weirdos ready to hate on it as a hold over from the second game. Can’t we just market this like every other HBO show? rely on the creative.

  21. So, by “autistic” she has heightened awareness and doesn’t like wearing waterproof body gear? Uh, ok.

  22. This trend of talking about mental issues just when a season or film is about to premiere always makes my eyebrows twitch. I wonder how much pressure producers make to actors to talk about that at the right time, if the actor is ready or even if it’s willing. I suspect publicist could be manipulating people to come out with conditions with the pretext that is healthy to talk about it, make it a public discourse, bring attention bla bla … at the “right time”.
    Go on a podcast.
    Talk about your struggles.
    ~~Profit~~.. make somebody else profit

  23. To be very honest, just visually there are signs. Then add the non-binary mindset, its pretty obvious.

  24. I’ve had people call me autistic because I can remember numbers lol

  25. At Christmas my sister was like, “well they say now that at least 1 out of 4 children the same woman has will be autistic in some capacity. But I don’t think brother, sister 1, or sister 2 are. *it clicks* oh. I guess it’s me…”

    Edit: She’s my half sister. Her mother is not my mother so her mother had 4 children, my mother only had 2.

  26. Good for her, but I get why plenty of people will never get diagnosed nor want to. The world will never really accommodate you, or they will if it’s convenient to them. Otherwise, good luck!

  27. I know “crew” is a broad term, but I just picture some teamsters on break being all concerned about her.

  28. I was diagnosed with Autism this year, solidarity Bella. It doesn’t change us, and it is just glowing proof that Autism has such a spectrum of players. The only people who were upset were my parents, the dummies that ignored the teachers begging them to have me assessed every report card growing up, so no surprise there 😮‍💨

  29. I’m quite sure I have autism and adhd, but when I tried to make an appointment to be tested I was told there’s a 7 year wait list by the Glen Rose clinic in Edmonton. But for $3500 I can be assessed by a private clinic tomorrow…
