Agreed. One always has to be cautious with using clinical terms and throwing amateur diagnoses around online, though I am guilty of it myself and doing it here. In the absence of a licensed professional evaluating them, we are all just speculating, However, I do firstly think that autism is very over-applied and misunderstood. My young nephew is quite significantly autistic, although he's very affectionate, funny, and quite emotionally intelligent. We tend to paint them all here as raving spastics but many can function just fine in social settings and work environments.
Goodrum, to put it bluntly, is literally just stupid, lazy, and gay. And Brian does not exhibit any autistic traits, in my opinion. What he does exhibit is, firstly, severe ADHD. Hence the 'they labelled me the devil at birth' nonsense, and teachers sent him for cognitive tests as a toddler as they thought that he was literally retarded. Brian has normal intelligence but he clearly has working memory deficits, impulse inhibition, high distractibility and anxiety. He also has the classically accompanying cannabis use disorder that so many of them develop.
He has a lot more going on, too, and as a layman I'd bet my penis that he would meet the clinical threshold for narcissistic personality disorder if tested, along with high antisocial traits. They really got revealed when the JKK thing came out and he desperately tried to distract everyone from it with pathological lying and the law-school fiasco. He's a danger to women and he belongs in a padded cell alongside his best bud Blaha.
Autistics can "mask", it is a bit like hiding it although cannot be sustained for long.
Personally I think the autism label is overapplied. A lot of people who think they are autistic just have no social skills because they mostly/only communicate from behind a screen.
Bri however is not only on the spectrum but has serious comorbidities like a personality disorder, mood disorders such as anxiety, agoraphobia, anger issues and has admitted to being suicidal in the past.
This is what in UK social care they call "complex needs". And Bri communicates from behind a screen because he has no other choice
Let's hope the night ended with a BBC squarely up her arse.
Didn't know Brian was into black dudes. Looks like you might have a chance!
They caught the person who planted the pipe bomb on Jan 6. AI said it was a girl; FBI says it was a guy.

Autistic people can't hide from what they are, it's really fucking obvious.
They of course have no idea how easy it is to spot them because generally speaking, people don't go out of their way to point it out.
