Any predictions on what neurodivergencies the gang has? You think it'll be official or self diagnosed?
Also, do you know yet who wrote the ep? I hope it was Charlie and Glenn. They seem like they'd be a fitting choice for the topic lmao *cut to Charlie joking about being autistic and Rob telling him he's bad with social cues, and Glenn talking about having adhd and rambling about his many eccentricities. I'm still mad we never got that podcast episode Rob teased.
I’m fairly confident The Gang Gets Tested is #1807, which means it was written by Charlie Day and Keyonna Taylor! (Of course, that’s just the script, there’s no doubt Glenn and Rob were involved in the writing process from start to finish, especially for their individual characters.)
The one thing that’s based on, however, is MacRob in a college classroom-looking setting taking a test, which doesn’t make much [any] sense if they were literally being diagnosed.
(I could theorise perhaps the neurodivergent episode isn’t The Gang Gets Tested, but I got so tripped up last year with believing the Dog Track title was a red herring for the dog jerking episode, lmfao, so I’m going straight forward with the assumptions this year and saying it’s a safe bet to believe Gets Tested is the right episode.)
So my initial off the dome idea for this episode was that perhaps everyone was being tested for something different, but now that we have the neurodivergent confirmation, I’m leaning heavily toward the idea that the Gang respond to a college study of some kind that’s focus group is neurodivergent adults.
This would explain why they filmed for almost an entire week on an actual college campus—the episode can’t just take place there for one day, so the college aspect has to be centered somehow—and also makes the most sense (imo) as to how they can have the Gang very clearly “embrace” being neurodivergent without having to make any hard establishments as to what they are (if they don’t want to).
So I think it will be a mix of official/self-diagnosed. I don’t think the Gang will go get officially diagnosed to respond to a college study, they’d just read (or hear) about it and go “oh shit that’s us!” and say they are (admit to being) neurodivergent to be involved (and probably get paid). I’d predict that they take the tests, go through whatever, but that the episode will end without ever revealing what diagnoses they have, as a joke on/meta about Rob’s announcement that never came to fruition
