Which makes me wonder if autism can sometimes be triggered by circumstances? But not in stereotypical ways?

I mean, one thing about autism headcanons is that pulp stories are more likely to come off as being about autistic people (I think)

When presented audioviasually at least, the reason being that actors in those traditions overemote

I'm pretty sure the reason you don't see Sir Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan in a lot of "serious" roles is bc they're from Shakespeare

And in classical theater you have to overemote and say what you're thinking even to a neurotypical audience bc space & no microphone

And that's an acting style that's mainly seen as acceptable in pulp (superheroes, space opera, epic fantasy)

At the same time though it's hard for me not to think that (on top of several other neuroatypicalities) Prof X and Magneto aren't autistic

Well, it would explain why in most depictions I'm familiar with, esp the films, Prof X is very bad at controlling his powers

I figure he has to be very good at controlling his powers just to not kill everyone

Well yeah, but my point is I don't think he necessarily understands all other brains. The people he spends time with likely share >
