What I can find all say seem to say more or less the same things about every candidate.

The US, but why? How does the answer differ in different countries?
In Iran, gender reassignment is legal, and they’ll even change the birth certificate to match, from what I learned a decade ago.
Homosexuality, however, is a capital offense, so many gay people are pressured to transition.
Some conservative societies seem to have the attitude that it’s better to go from one role with rigid expectations to another than it is to fail to meet the expectations of your original role.
I’m going to say outdoor.
The “door” part doesn’t really have any significance. No one would say camping under the open sky is an indoor activity, even if there’s a fence with a door around the campsite.
I think it makes more sense for the deciding factor be whether you’re in a controlled or uncontrolled environment. And while part of the cave might be controlled if there’s an artificial entryway or home, that’s not what you’re there to see.
It’s an interesting interpretation for sure. I could believe it more easily if he was shown to not care about the consequences of his actions rather than being ignorant of them.
Maybe you’re right, except that in addition to having trouble communicating, he also has trouble reading social situations and understanding what others want from him. He is, as you say, very capable of solving problems that don’t involve people.
Hm, he still does “dumb” things though. Trying to strain a canned peach through a sweaty sock to make a drink. Getting lost in China. Not understanding the political implications of rescuing Chairman Mao. Calling the Vietnam war “a bunch of shit” while representing the US military (it’d be one thing if it was intentional, but he didn’t seem to understand what the consequences would be.) Telling Jenny that Lieutenant Dan could use the bathroom without help rather than asking her for a container that’s not his hat. Kidnapping Raquel Welch.
I guess a lot of those things could be explained away one way or another. Your take on the character is definitely an interesting one, but I thought of him as more of a savant type who was capable of learning specific things extremely well, but was generally unintelligent. Though more intelligent than some give him credit for.
It’s been a long time since I read the book, but that’s not how I remember it at all. He was gifted mathematically, but deficient in general. He caused trouble a number of times by misreading situations and not doing what was expected of him.
He was smarter than people assumed, but I got the impression he was still impaired overall. Maybe that was the movie affecting my perception of the character.
But that’s true, isn’t it? Putting aside volume and shape.
Not much under that, but I remember them. I remember them more than slide decks.
No, 9 months community service.
Aw, dang it, I thought that might be a character, but I didn’t find it.
So one dog is named Rǝx and the other is just “thǝ dog.”
You’ll likely see bows and arrows in just about any movie that has Native American tribes as one of the belligerents.
The mode of a set of numbers is the number that occurs the most times in the set.
For example, in [1,4,4,4,5,6,6,7], the mode is 4, because there are more 4s than there are any other number.
But it’s redundant in that sentence because it began with “at.”
I’ve seen some in the US that run slowly until you get close. I guess they think that if it was stopped completely, people would assume it’s non-operational.
Those are pretty awesome! Thanks, I think I can get a lot of benefit from them.
I think it’s fine to acknowledge the unfortunate truth that autistic people have to live in a society designed around the needs of people who are unlike them in important ways. Saying so shouldn’t diminish their responsibility to try to function in society as best they can despite this challenge.
To an extent, it’s a matter of perspective. We can easily conceive of a society where the things that “normal” people do are considered alien and jarring. If they had to constantly suppress their fundamental nature the way autistic people do, they might not seem so natural and healthy.
There’s a whole subgenre called “reverse isekai” that does exactly that.
