Lucy is the one of the main characters of the Fallout series. This is a meme based on that character. Lucy in the Vault: "Gifted" Kid Lucy at the end of Fallout: Burned out Autistic Adult.
The DX of ASD makes it very clear that the full impact of an Autistic Person's Autistic traits may not fully manifest (and therefore qualify the person for a Dx of ASD) until social demands exceed the person's capacity (like ... you know ... puberty, adulthood, etc ...)
