That link leads me to a broken Wikipedia page

Doesn't matter that much (but somehow, the link works for me), it's just a stupid joke (google Yes Man (film)). I haven't watched it, so I don't even know if I used the joke correctly.

Definitely Laios from Delicious in Dungeon. I didn't even realise he's supposed to be weird, his actions seemed very reasonable and normal to me. Something clicked in my head after the nightmare flashback that he actually displays a lot of autistic traits.

Is manga/anime acceptable? Agito.

Yes. Never heard of them. How are you guys similar?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yes. Endeavour Morse is the first that springs to mind. I'm sure there are others, but would need to think about that more.

I recently started rewatching the cartoon, I liked as preteen, Sabrina: The animated series. I relate to her needing to hide her secret life from her schoolmates, like I still don't like to share my interests with other people (even those, I consider friends). I also relate to the fear of rejection, witch (yay stupid puns) keeps me from disclosing my diagnosis to most people.
