This is funny but I'm not sure how logical (🫣) it is. Is Spock autistic? He's just..(half)Vulcan? Doing Vulcan things. Any autistic traits he demonstrates would be kind of projection wouldn't it? That said, I understand allegory exists but I doubt this sort of thing would have been intentional by Gene Roddenberry. (I'm very fun at parties 😆)

I feel like if anyone was possibly an autist it was Odo. The man struggled so much with human emotions and expressions he literally couldn't make a believable human face. Instead of masking he just did his thing.
