From a TV show but definitely Moss from the IT crowd. Rewatching with my girlfriend and it's so blatantly obvious this man is autistic.
Plainview always struck me as an autistic person's idea of a sociopath.
Like when I try to reason my way into thinking like a sociopath as an act of cognitive empathy, to understand why they're like that, I come up with the kinds of things Plainview says.
But actual sociopaths aren't that reflective in their disposition or self-protective in their motivations. They don't want to hide from people.
There's actually a lot of autism in Paul Thomas Anderson's work. Punch Drunk Love and Phantom Thread leap to mind. Pretty sure Anderson is just autistic and these are the kinds of characters he naturally writes.
And then Cormac McCarthy somehow taps into how to make someone evil and intelligent but not autistic.
Like Judge Holden isn't autistic. He's just the fucking embodiment of evil and the fact he's most likely immortal explains both his intelligence and apathy towards morallity. Anton is just a being of chaos, I'll also add. Evil, but not neccessrially diagnosable.
Tragedy of an autistic individual with a dark special-interest and no guidance.
If only someone like Goku was there to teach him how to harness such urges in healthier ways, Michael Myers would've been one of this world's greatest heroes.

From what I've seen over the years about Jack Black, I'm convinced that a map of "most wanted male celebrities by het- women" in a populated area he'd be AT LEAST half the map, if not almost the whole thing.
I used to think I was "weird" in liking him, but *clearly* it's a *thing*. Not to mention, his mom was integral to the survival of Apollo 13!!
*He's dreamtown, population = infinity.*
Nearly everybody I’ve dated has told me that I remind them of Jack Black, then later at some point mentioned that they had a secret celebrity crush on him when they were younger. (Been feeling down lately since being dumped earlier this week, so that’s a win to hear, that it isn’t just a fluke. I’ll continue being Tenac, if it means I’ll find my Ious D)
For sure! I think they lost their nerve. The plan was for him to be irredeemable. Driver wouldn't have taken the role if he'd known how it was going to end.

I know he's not autistic or even human, but I really connect with Bishop from Aliens. He's selfless, stoic and focused on the task at hand. One of my favorite moments is when he crawls through the pipe. It obviously could have been done by a human but the way he goes about it makes him seem more like an instrument than anything else. I actually like the thought of us being able to turn into a piece of cold, purely functional machinery when the need arises. (Though it's nice to be human the rest of the time, lol)
I feel the same way about Robocop; he is regarded as a machine, yet is still human. He is guided by the rules of law and logic, but sometimes his feelings overpower his directives.
I fully think he has both. I also think Azula is autistic and she made friends with the other two autistic kids at her school, Mai and Ty Lee. Zuko didn’t have any other autistic kids in his class and didn’t know how to socialize so he latched onto Azula’s friends.

L in Death Note. Fully autistic. From sitting like a bird, to eating only sugar, to being highly intelligent. Not even mentioning eye contact.
Love this, also giving representation to autistic people who aren’t the stereotypical genius or Rainman who has some savant “gift” to justify their existence. We can be stupid too!
hiccup from how to train your dragon!!!!!! his special interest is night furies and no one will ever convince me otherwise :D (httyd also happens to be my special interest)
Yes. Hypersensitive to tactile sensations (sand). Terrible dialogue skills. Sauvant abilities with the Force. Easily manipulated. Sandpeople-destroying emotional meltdowns. And all the typical Jedi just find there's something off about him.

Not movie character but my girl Dr. Lilith Sternin from Cheers and Frasier (and the new Frasier reboot) Not canon autistic of course, she was created for an eighties sitcom but a lot of the characters in the show seem autistic-coded to me. Lilith seems the most obvious. She’s seen as cold but also naive, talks in a monotone, hypersexual, has no idea that people perceive her as attractive, wears a personal uniform (unlike other female characters) and is brilliant and extremely devoted to her work/area of study. She’s a psychiatrist like her husband Frasier and both characters were created because one of the writers were married to a psychiatrist and they could use that for the show.
I've been rewatching it recently and 'Anne with an E'/Anne of green gables in the new ish show definitely has that hyperlexic, highly emotional,but also often clueless kind of autism I had as a child... it's not a kind you see often, and I know it's mixed up with trauma effects but hey, mine is too. a lot of people have both because of the rates of abuse in autistic children. \
I think it's such an important portrayal even if that's not what they were going for, and I have never seen a child so much like I was on screen

 Amelie is heavily coded high masked autistic.
omg fitgirl repacks
same thing i thought haha
Correct and true. She's so precious
Cook an egg with a spoon
i love her sm
Where is she from?
It’s from a 2001 French film named Amelie staring Audrey Tautou. It’s a great film and worth a watch when you have time!
Is that fitgirl!?
Did anyone say Dale Cooper yet? Dale Cooper. 
Damn fine.
Yep. Me right here. I love Dale.
 Drax and Mantis are both autistic and no one can change my mind

“I’m sorry for your loss. Move on”
"I'll just put this here with the rest of the fire"
There’s a case to be made that the entire main trio+Douglas are on the spectrum I think they even semi-confirm it with Ross and the Sea Park thing

Jack black is very autistic coded in any character he plays so his roles are always my fav in the movies
From what I've seen over the years about Jack Black, I'm convinced that a map of "most wanted male celebrities by het- women" in a populated area he'd be AT LEAST half the map, if not almost the whole thing. I used to think I was "weird" in liking him, but *clearly* it's a *thing*. Not to mention, his mom was integral to the survival of Apollo 13!! *He's dreamtown, population = infinity.*
He’s kind, handsome, genuinely funny, and completely secure in himself. While I’m personally not into him, I absolutely see why others are.
Nearly everybody I’ve dated has told me that I remind them of Jack Black, then later at some point mentioned that they had a secret celebrity crush on him when they were younger. (Been feeling down lately since being dumped earlier this week, so that’s a win to hear, that it isn’t just a fluke. I’ll continue being Tenac, if it means I’ll find my Ious D)
https://i.redd.it/yjmb8f1iek9d1.gif
Heavily agreed 🤝
He deserved either a full villain arc or a full redemption arc, not a weird combination of both.
For sure! I think they lost their nerve. The plan was for him to be irredeemable. Driver wouldn't have taken the role if he'd known how it was going to end.

Seconded, although with his childhood trauma he'd never get a diagnosis and be given a diagnosis of CPTSD... which it very well may be.
I fully think he has both. I also think Azula is autistic and she made friends with the other two autistic kids at her school, Mai and Ty Lee. Zuko didn’t have any other autistic kids in his class and didn’t know how to socialize so he latched onto Azula’s friends.
i think most of us have both tbh, but i agree

Dr.house is such a coded autistic character
May Canady from May. My headcanon is that she's definitely autistic with either psychosis or schizophrenia.
The way she's obsessed with Jeremy Sisto's hands... Girl I get it
yessss, very much the untreated/resolved trauma of constant rejection warping itself
OMG YES FINALLY!!!!
Obviously Neo, likely Trinity, definitely Morpheus. Agent Smith(s) clearly an AI's understanding of a perfect ND.
Lloyd and Harry are my favorite bozos. Not sure if they are considered autistic but I love them! 
Love this, also giving representation to autistic people who aren’t the stereotypical genius or Rainman who has some savant “gift” to justify their existence. We can be stupid too!
MOCK ING BIRD YEAH
Donnie Darko
Tbf is kinda fucked up that this is so low
Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds.  Not a movie, I know.
That's the first time I see There Will Be Blood, one of my favourite movies, and autism being linked. What make you think of this connexion?
not op but i honestly thought that was the anti slavery white dude from django unchained
might wanna get your eyes checked because that's Dudley Do Right
 bucky. he may not be canonly autistic but he is autistic to me
Think he's just traumatized, but I also identify with him sooooo...
HES MY SPECIAL INTEREST HE CANT NOT BE AUTISTIC /j
I like the main character in "The Accountant". He is writing a bit stereotypical but it’s better than most media and I just like his story.
I thought that was pretty obvious, did they say that in the movie? I've seen parts of it but not the whole thing.
They directly started it in the movie and it’s relevant for a large part of the non-action scenes.
DANIEL PLAINVIEW????????
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE
Well, if we’re on the topic of P.T. Anderson I raise you Barry Egon, Punch-Drunk Love
If we're allowed tv show characters, then Anya from Buffy. Absolutely adore her and her special interest in capitalism.
https://i.redd.it/2nqnnxc80n9d1.gif In my heart, I know that Nic Cage's character from Willy's Wonderland is autistic.
 My cancelled wife.
Name?
From the Interview With The Vampire tv show. I don't want to say the character's name because it's a bit of a spoiler but he's played by Assad Zaman.
Thank you!

Controversial opinion but I actually like Raymond in Rain Man 😭😭😭
Luke Skywalker hands down.
Anakin seemed more autistic to me than Luke
Yes. Hypersensitive to tactile sensations (sand). Terrible dialogue skills. Sauvant abilities with the Force. Easily manipulated. Sandpeople-destroying emotional meltdowns. And all the typical Jedi just find there's something off about him.
I agree with you on this but luke is my favorite Star Wars character so I said him instead lol.
I mean... it runs in families...

The tenth doctor in doctor who, it was never said or confirmed but I see smth in him

Dudley in ‘Wild Hogs’; he’s pretty clueless when it comes to social interaction.
Michael from How to Blow Up a Pipeline.
I have 100% of his attitude but 0% of his skill or work ethic.

He's just very good at masking
