No One Is Perfect / int_b489805d	comment	Hollywood Autism: Averted, which shouldn't be a surprise, since Joseph Fuller is autistic himself. Albert has some mild social anxiety but is perfectly social, and is said to be extremely creative and business savvy. He has trouble making eye contact, but is otherwise able to pass for neurotypical throughout his interview. Anthony is contrasted to show some differences in terms of an autistic meltdown when Jenna is too assertive with him.
