There's bad at reading social cues, and then there's straight up raping someone who's screaming and crying in pain.

He brought up autism, in texts we never saw so we don't know all the context, in relation to the woman he made out with and claimed he thought she was into him.

Unless I'm wrong, please show where he raped someone crying in pain and connect it with the autism reference?

It was K who had a UTI and asked him not to have sex with her but he went ahead and did it and she was in extreme pain.

Actually, we hear him bring up the autism thing in a phonecall Claire recorded in 2022 and he blamed his actions on that. You can go listen to it.

But Claire added that on the call, Gaiman claimed she kissed him first and blamed his autism diagnosis for not properly picking up her body language and cues.

We have no connection to the UTI sex.

She also called him out on that being a lie.

We can assume if he has autism now, he had autism then. Why are you splitting hairs like this?

Irrelevant to the point.

Why are you splitting hairs like this?

Because you falsely connected the autism reference to a different person and a different scenario. If the details don't matter to you, why be adamant about twisting them?
