so, what do dave and dirk think of cal? (kinstuck)

Dave’s a little annoyed and occasionally unnerved by him, but he doesn’t let it show and acts like a good brother when he can. Cal mostly hangs around Bro or Dirk though. Dirk gets along great with Cal (even though they’re double-cousins and not actually brothers, he most acts like his big brother out of all the other kids), and Cal often hangs around his room asking questions while Dirk’s making robots or sketching.

It sorta sound like Cal is autistic, I volunteer/work with autistic children and they sometimes act like that. so my question would be. Is Cal autistic?

I hadn’t imagined him as autistic but that’s a valid interpretation, though I doubt the Stri-Londes would have taken him to a doctor or anyone who could diagnose him either way. He doesn’t have any behavioral issues or sensitivities that impede him in everyday life so they’ve never had to do anything but just let him be himself and do his own thing. :)

(I apologize if any of that was offensive or inappropriate, just let me know)

hi, in kinstuck is lil cal a person, maybe one of the stri-londes, or is he just beta bro's creepy puppet?

He’s Bro and Mom’s son and the youngest stri-londe kid (He’s 10 when the portraits are taken). 

I’ll post a Stri-Londe family tree later today.
