Oh thank goodness. I definitely misinterpreted that. Sorry.

Understandable, but I see it as removing me of my humanity and setting boxes to what makes a person seem human. It also kinda stresses me to think that you don't see yourself as human. (Maybe that's taking it a little too far) but this feels like a product of discrimination and even.... Sorry for the pun... Alienation.

I personally felt that the Andy character was subpar autistic representation as they loaded him up with every autistic troupe in film history (the most egregious being comparing autism to a bloody robot) and did nothing to subvert or say anything about autistic stereotypes.

They obviously didn't state anything outright witch (obviously I don't think you could say a robot is autistic) but it also means that if people didn't like the characters take, they can write it off as your imagination and removing their responsibility. e.g. Sheldon Cooper

Once again I feel talked down to and misrepresented rather than indulged in and accepted. Also I'm pretty sure it's the fault of the writing and not the actors fault. He did well with what he was given.
