the way that dinner in america is about an autistic girl who's autonomy as an adult with desires is not respected by anyone around her and all she wants is to be punk but no one in her life lets her experience this because they want to see her as this delicate girl who doesn't know her own boundaries & limits until the punk guy comes into her life and sees this weird girl who doesn't try to be anything except exactly what she is. and he sees exactly how punk she is and he doesn't infantilize her and he wants her to break the rules with him - rules she's never been able to follow in the first place - and he sees her quirks and oddities as good, as beautiful, as punk. which is all she's wanted her whole life
