Scholarly research mostly ignores Black autistic individuals and experiences, especially Black autistic adults. This scholarly neglect "exacerbates the misconception that autism is inherently white." Our societal and cultural understandings of autism are largely exclusionary of people like OJ and Gregory, but the autistic coding of their characters is there to see for anyone who is willing to see it. And I see similar coding in Wonder Man.
