This is why cultural Catholic movies like Dogma have flavors of born-again to them, a concern about “do you feel it in your heart, are you *really* believing” that would make 80+% of global Christendom look weird at you.

queerness, for my obvious example, has often been relegated to the sidelines or subtext or personal interpretation in popular fiction so that conservative audiences can ignore it, so it's often a breath of fresh air for me when a story is very blunt about its queerness in a way nobody can miss

OP’s implication that neurodiverse individuals are less likely to have cultural interests or express emotions about peers and loved ones and the world around them feels wildly ableist
