Things about T'lyn from Star Trek: Lower Decks that I think make it clear that her character and arc are allegorical for autism

  • Her methods and ways of thinking are considered unorthodox and impolite by other Vulcans
  • Fixates on objects and interests even when it's not logical to do so (very unusual for a Vulcan)
  • Prone to whims and gut feelings (not logical, VERY strange for a Vulcan)
  • Actively has to hide (mask) her personality quirks around other Vulcans
  • Dresses differently from other Vulcans
  • Emotionally unstable, at least by Vulcan standards
  • Considered unsuited for working on a Vulcan ship (unemployable), gets forcibly transferred to a human ship
  • Has feelings of inadequacy and isolation from her inability to fit in with other Vulcans
  • It is suggested in the episode Empathogical Fallacies that she has a condition called Bendii syndrome, or "something with similar symptoms"

I rest my case

Autistic individual

Realizing that Amok Time, from T'Pring's perspective, is basically the equivalent of a Vulcan Hallmark Movie, where a holiday (Pon Farr) makes our hero realize she wants hometown boy Stonn and a simple (Vulcan) life instead of big-city (space) boyfriend Spock, and it all comes to a head in an embarrassing misunderstanding in front of her family, is certainly making me feel some kind of way

I will never watch this episode the same again.

thinking about that TNG episode where Riker says he never feels rested after sleeping and Dr Crusher tells him to just drink warm milk about it and then later it turns out he's been abducted by aliens 6 times and had his arm cut off. most accurate portrayal of dealing with the medical profession ever seen on screen
