Every time I see a post about the autism coding in Supernatural and Deans not mentioned I scream.
There is something so frustrating about autism traits being overlooked in characters because there not the 'typical' traits.
And I don't even mean that people overlook it on purpose. I just think that Cas's type of autism is so much more 'oh, it's autism'. Even nuerotypical viewers probably noticed it. However, Dean's autism coding is noticable but it also has a layer of masking and fake ultra masculinity. (Anyone ever notice how Sam is actually the one who's more traditionally masculine or is that just me?) It seems to me that because a character sometimes masks, people ignore the blatant traits.
Or they find him hot and no one can admit that the white guy that they find attractive can possibly be autistic.
