Thinking about the LOL cult episode and how it is extremely similar to autistic experiences:
So first, the background. Mob is convinced that he wants to reach & #39;popularity& #39; with traditional methods, as well as Tsubomi& #39;s heart. He ends up going with a sketchy cult member just to fullfill his dream.
One of the most telling signs of autism is being unable to clearly sense one& #39;s intentions, whether good or bad. A lot of gags in the show use this trait, including Mob falling into the & #39;obvious& #39; trap set by the gang members.
There& #39;s also the laughing contest. Dimple (incorrectly) states that Mob is emotionless, due to having a blank face most of the time.
Mob states that he WISHES he could show emotions like the rest of people, and the flashbacks he gets from this situation seem to be very painful for him.
Ps. Mob saying he& #39;s & #39;like this& #39; since birth sounds... very familiar.
Yet another situation that is very common. Implying that solving a & #39;blank& #39; face will solve Mob& #39;s problems, without actually adressing what he is feeling or thinking.
Cw // mention of meltdowns

He eventually reaches his 100% of anger over this, due to pressure, unfamiliar settings and overflowing feelings. Very similar to an autistic meltdown.

Meltdowns are an & #39;intense response to an overwhelming circumstance, a loss of control& #39;. Usually triggered by intense emotions, sensory overload, anxiety, etc. Mob is constantly fearing he may harm someone in his 100% or ??? State.
