    You know how sometimes you’re watching an old episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation and there’s a quick shot of a control panel on a spaceship and you’re like, “Wait a minute. Haven’t I seen that control panel before in the background of an episode of Frasier?”

    Yeah, it’s called autism.

    These are the kinds of things a person notices while going through each Star Trek episode taking meticulous screenshots of all the starship overhead displays

    The prosecution rests.

      Acknowledging the overlap in the Trek community and the autism spectrum is not unwelcoming. The neurotypical don’t get this kind of obsessive, and so don’t get these kind of opportunities.
