dexter morgan is on the autism spectrum . he frequently spins in his chair as a form of self soothing to regulate his nervous system . subconsciously , this act was one of the few reasons the demon could not entirely possess over dexter but instead it would fight to control him in his mind because this was a choice dexter made to love himself even when dexter struggles to understand how love even feels.
the demon's attempt to influence and shun dexter with various destructive , intrusive thoughts were unsuccessful during these times as it was when dexter was unmasked and himself — attuned to his humanity .
