George Campbell
George Campbell asked Garon Whited:

(2/2 from autism question) As an autistic man myself, I found a lot of humor and can empathize badly with Eric's feeling of 'awful uncleanness' that happens, whether he wants it to or not, twice a day. In his struggles to understand those around him, in...well, almost every aspect of him. If it was intentional, it's the best portrayal of my condition that I've read. If not, then I hope you don't mind that I headcanon?

Garon Whited Go right ahead. But be aware he may also be suffering from the effects of PTSD. Where does one stop and the other begin? Or are they working together to alienate him from the humans?
