The first was one of the most hilariously bad and poor taste depictions of autism since Rain Man. There’s no way the second is any better.

Disagree. I felt seen. But I’m not a superhero accountant, so I could be wrong

I’m glad you did! Savantism tends to be looked down on by the rest of ASD folx who aren’t savants, which is unfortunately a majority. It’s also important to note you don’t have to beat the shit out of your shins, subject yourself to loud noises and flashing lights, and do other unpleasant, torture-adjacent things just to mask. You can find communities out there that will accept you for you with or without a mask.

But again he’s a superhero accountant. Not a healthy well adjusted person with autism. I wouldn’t expect to relate to everything.
Besides there is nothing in the movie that suggests he needs to do those things. I saw that as a routine instilled in him by his abusive father. Not some example of a proper coping technique. He would have learned in the great looking facility his father refused to send him to.
