Confession time. The Disco Stu video originally had a short speculation on whether Disco Stu is on the spectrum. I deleted it because I felt kinda weird about psychoanalyzing him? I reached my limit of "this deep dive is too much, even for me" 🤣 - ThreadSky

Well, as someone who has spent some hours trying to ascribe autistic traits to all the DuckTales characters, this sounds like something I'd be happy to speculate about.

The Disco Stu rabbit hole never ends

People overthink television characters that are meant to be eccentric purely for entertainment value and nothing more.

I originally made a joke that the show is bullying this poor neurodivergent guy over his special interest.
But then realized I kinda hate that speculation/assumption that so-and-so is on the spectrum because of their interests. So I threw that whole thing out. The video was already getting weird

Honestly I wonder how many characters that only care about one thing could just be read as Autistic... and surprisingly I don't think comic book guy would be on the spectrum

There are so many Simpsons characters you can do an armchair diagnosis for. Ralph probably also fits into the “too easy, and also too hard to do right” camp.

I cannot tell you how many times I've discussed the "Homer Simpson is neurodivergent" talking point, both IRL and online.

ADHD is genetic. Bart has ADHD. Im pretty sure its more possible than it is not.

glorfindude.bsky.social•127 days ago

This in conjunction with Homer growing up in the '60s and '70s when ADHD was not a thing really and being labeled as a burnout and a screw up makes a lot of sense unfortunately...

So you're saying...

Autism Stu, was too taboo?

darkentity.bsky.social•145 days ago

Out of context this is one of the weirdest comments I've ever seen.

In context, it's one of the funniest

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have my first repost, you have earned it 🤣

(i am diagnosed on the spectrum just to be clear, i can make these jokes myself)

sarahpirrup.bsky.social•145 days ago

Tbh stuff like that is so common and accepted on the internet that I think nobody would've batted an eye or thought anything of it, if you did to that lol

I will say, him loving disco so much while also not liking it at all, is like, idk really relatable.
I'm like that with drawing. I love drawing, but sometimes it's the worst thing ever lol

communalbrother.bsky.social•145 days ago

Was there ever a joke about Disco Stu being in the Olympics (modern or ancient) where he took part in the discus throw? Discus Stu? I'll see myself out.

As an autistic person, dude just seems like a disco nut, with a sugar addiction
