Treating autistic people like this is like treating a cat like a dog. Not only it is torture and inhumane, you're bound to kill it. Not a single thing you've written has come from reality. Take your violent hate elsewhere.
Really thick how he couldn't do anything because of his mental and social vulnerability+how humans can't deal with situations like this without help (like objectively).
People are assuming that because it comes across as a reason why it could be dangerous to turn him in. Granted, I wish they hadn't included that, because I think it's just a distraction and didn't ultimately have anything to do with why he couldn't turn him in. The show immediately lays it on
It's honestly a shock to me that people hadn't picked up on that he was disassociating- as someone who's fairly certain they've experienced medical disassociation before, what he described could be the dictionary definition as far as I'm concerned.
that we've heard things about. The "debate" happening right now is an absolute mess, but can we please agree to not just ignore very important facts if the story, portraying things differently than they were? Especially let's not ignore how important Pentious' autistic traits and abandonment trauma

All his problems would be solved! and the vulnerabilities that made him unable to function in the face of more trauma were actually his fault! /s Focusing on just friends ignores the very noticeable fact that he has no family, and that usually makes people even more vulnerable than having no
in his field before anyone decided to do anything... Permanent... to him is the only thing that kept him alive as long as he was. He was ran in by real danger and cruelly kept out of having any kind of community- he could not have woken up one day and decided he was just gonna go make friends, then
Being visibly autistic was far more than enough, being mentally unraveled was far more than enough, and even a man having long hair was far more than enough. I doubt it's any kind of exaggeration to say his privilege of managing to get a higher education and secure an important spot
type of nonconformity to the point of hate killing if needed, usually in insane asylums. Autistic people were, no exaggeration or metaphorical speaking, considered possessed by demons and subjected to abuse by the church.
One of Pentious' most defining traits has always been being very visibly autistic, absolutely no ability to mask anything to save his life, not traits people might find unpalatable, not emotions. And that's even why modern standards. Victorians were foaming at the mouth about stamping down every
It was never said that was afraid of the killer killing him, he was thoroughly described as being very sick (especially disassociating) and very vulnerable- sometimes, in real life, people are vulnerable to the point where they can't do things that are simply for other people.
