Used to play a game called crab football when I was a kid.
Autism?
Admittedly it's not specifically about autism, and is more acceptance for everyone who's different.
More so, it's about considering a different person with applicable thought and they can be particularly relevant/helpful/applicable/useful/etc.
I learned this lesson when I was younger from Babylon 5, when the Pak'ma'ra wanted to join the Rangers. No one else wanted them because they saw them as useless and lazy, but Dellenn managed to figure out how to turn their apparent "weaknesses" into advantages. No wonder that they are my favorite race on that show now.
So yeah, a good lesson and this comic is great.
