Clavicular & ASD
This is just my opinion but I work in the healthcare field and specialize with autism, and I even perform the golden diagnostic standard to aid with diagnoses.
I can explain why the maternal instinct is going around regarding haters who have a soft spot for him. People dislike his masking. And they see him at heart as an autistic kid who is trying to navigate through life that’s surrounded by his special interest (looksmaxing).
I hate how society is beginning to normalize autism in people, with the idea of a high masking neurotypical appearing person. It just isn’t representative of the struggles of the neurodivergent community. I wish that his insecurities could shine through and be embraced because he’s openly talked about being on the spectrum, yet continues to mask. He is an amazing looking guy, he gets women, he has money, he appears to be having fun but it’s not enough for him. None of that will go away with his asd traits not being suppressed anymore. I truly believe that if he began to embrace his differences, then more people would start to like him. He would also have significantly less insecurities and anxiety (from all the masking) and I think he would receive less hate.
Right now people are battling with the knowledge that he is a real person, who has feelings, and is incredibly intelligent, but they stay stuck on all the negatives. Those negatives to me seem like his mask because it made him get SO popular.
I genuinely feel bad for him because he seems like an incredible person who’s gotten stuck. I worry about the drugs and partying due to the intense effects on the autistic brain from substances which is not talked about a lot. They are known to worsen cognitive deficits and sensory processing that everyone who is diagnosed with autism have in one way or another. And these drugs impact the brain so significantly that they get stuck in a cycle of being okay, and then the world feeling worse because of worsened autism traits from the comedown, and then feeling okay again, but even worse the next time… it can lead to depression and anxiety that is incredibly hard to cope with as a neurotypical person. Now imagine that coupled with a neurodivergent person, who already struggles with the intense psychological and mental exhaustion from masking all the time.
I can only hope that one day someone close to him sees past his looks and persona, and cares deeply enough to explain how detrimental these WILL be on his mental health in the long run.
