When I saw him as Viserys Targaryen in House of the Dragon, as someone who doctors assumed I had Aspberger's (Late 90s) and I think I do - I felt that I had an instant connection with him on screen in his demeanor to the way he talks at times. Christ's Peace!!
@daniele.3361 That's an incredibly subjective view, and my autistic friends would much disagree with that assessment. So, though it is self-destructive to end up hating oneself for such a condition of life, I do plead caution. While indeed, it can sometimes enable people to pursue niche goals and activities with much more focus and interest than neurotypicals, various experiences on the autism spectrum more often than not end up inhibiting people from daily life and function, since focus is incredibly quickly lost on tasks due to sensory overload, inattention, executive dysfunction, emotional dysregulation, and other related reasons. To clarify, I'm not at all angry or upset with you as a person, I just implore caution with such sweeping statements, everyone lives life differently and we all have to work within our means from our own experiences x
An absolute inspiration and legend.❤
This man has just explained, exactly how I feel at 32 😳… the super market, the eye contact, everything! I think maybe I have Asperger’s 🤷
It’s not called Asperger’s anymore, though 👍
