wait wait everyone wait when we consider the fact that the pitt has made it clear that mel was never formally diagnosed with autism: what if mel seriously has never considered her being autistic and then a patient says something to her once in passing and she tells them ?? im not autistic and the patient (asshole) is like uhh yes you are and then bc it’s so unexpected she enters into this self loathing thing about it (obvi just in the heat of the moment she’s not being actually awful abt it okay okay) and she’s asking frank like “im not autistic why would the patient think im autistic” and just hitting him with ?????WHY WOULD THEY SAY THAT??? You don’t think that about me, right?? right????? and all that’s playing through his head is turningoffthelightsgate and closingthedoorbctheERcanbeloudandnoisygate and givinghergravelgate so he’s just kinda quiet and uncomfortable and then mel hits him with the: “becca is autistic and I’ve spent my whole life taking care of her. if i am, why has no one ever come to take care of me?” lets cut the cameras deadass
