The line between narcissism and ASD can be very thin which makes it hard to differentiate... I know nothing about him beyond YMH, so I can only speculate from what I saw on todays ep. It’s just that when he mentioned his father being ‘socially strange’, it got me suspicious... being that ASD is often inherited from father to son, and this guy, as much as he wants to play ‘alpha’, seems pretty idiosyncratic and strange, lol. His rigid, black and white beliefs about the world (even if this is only a partial act) remind me of my step dad, a man also on the spectrum.

I’m not AT ALL saying that all people with ASD are misanthropes and as obnoxious as Tate btw lol.
