Why does him being 'autistic' mean he shouldn't be considered a risk?

Why is he considered a risk at all, autistic or not? Most movie characters are written to be relatable in some sense, it's what connects us to the story and keeps us involved as the story develops. It doesn't mean we are going to mimic Deadpool or any other movie characters who are up to no good. I mean, even cartoon characters blow each other up. Does that mean the kid would be highlighted as a risk should his topic of choice have been Wiley Coyote?

Oh, I don't give a fuck - I'm just annoyed by the creep of using 'autism' as victim pleading points when it's just poorly socialized people/trauma population.

That's a fair point.

Unrelated, but I think DM is already using AI to write content.
