Yes, actually, I teach middle and high school students with autism.
Doug Ramsey's mutation is that he can instantly understand and replicate all forms of communication, verbal and nonverbal. He can communicate with any human being no matter what language they speak, and he can communicate with aliens, robots, and supernatural beings too.
Doug also happens to be interested in computer programming. So Marvel decided to label him as "autistic" because apparently autism means having a hobby that's considered nerdy, right?? Marvel is the one being ignorant here.
Or rather, WAS the one being ignorant. This post is six years old and Marvel has since retracted that stance on Doug.
Good job commenting on a six-year-old post with outdated information, though.
