The power to have the entire universe on the tip of your tongue...

That sounds horrendous

Walk through social constructs as if they were air.

Obliterate objects by hyperfixating on them.

Drive villains mad by monologuing intensely at them about radio tower structural design history.

Fatal weakness: When costume is any of: A bit too dirty, smells to much of softener, too tight on the wrists, too loose on the elbows, a bit itchy, smells weird for no reason, did it have this color it looks wrong, no wait I put it on in the wrong order I have to take it all off and do it over again, cape touches neck

They handling logistics for all the other super heros. All the mundane shipping, messaging hundreds of vendors, working with local government to handle events they do this all from their computer. Trello is their secret weapon. Know one knows their true identity, but no one knows their super hero identity either. They never leave the house. Their sidekick is just an ordinary cat.

But without them the world wouldn't last a day.

"This guy is so good at predicting what people are going to talk about. He's never right, but he's always predicting what people are going to say before anyone else gets a chance to even think about it." 😆

Extreme levels of social awkwardness and the innate ability to infect/inject other people with it temporarily. An angry mob is throwing bricks in the streets? Let Sup-Aut talk to them for five minutes and everyone will be so uncomfortable that they'd rather go home than rioting. Sup-Aut is especially effective because they, too, would rather go home soon that continue standing in the spotlight, so these encounters usually take all of five minutes until the respective issue is resolved.

Weakness: everything they get told to resolve has to be done either RIGHT NOW and completely unprepared, or they'll procrastinate and prepare until the city burned to the ground. There is no middle ground between these extremes, and it is impossible to predict which one will happen.

Damn, do you have an example of how to use that super power for good?

I don't get it. What's the spirit of this joke?

It's a very dumb joke , making fun of a dumb tv show call the good doctor. The writers decided to write a show about a young autistic surgeon, and also decided that his only personality trait would be being a surgeon. There is a scene where he is fired, has a mental breakdown and keeps yelling " I am a surgeon".

Mostly a dumb joke, making fun of writers who wrote the main character of a show based solely of one idea, with no character at all.

Afaik autism isn't defined by a lack of empathy (that would be sociopathy iirc)

Interesting. I do relate with the gaze and emotional empathy things, especially the "fluctuating empathy" part. I'm not officially diagnosed though. But my (licensed psychologist) sister says I'm "definitely on the spectrum", for what it's worth

That's a good article, thanks. Sorry you got downvoted! I agree it's complicated...
