If autism and guns don't mix them then how do I make it work for the character who's interested in guns?

Easy! Make them the one who creates the guns! In my original post about the John Wick scenario, I mentioned tech savvy genius' characters right? There's this YA franchise, one that I mentioned on my blog, called The Shadowhunter Chronicles, the Shadowhunters TV show is based on some of the books. A character you only meet in the books, is Christopher Lightwood, who's an autistic genius that works on developping technology and weapons to support the Shadowhunters who are basically half-Angel soldiers. He's one himself, and he can fight. He just prefers being behind the scenes and making the stuff. He actually can practise shooting with hearing protection because he needs to try out his gun before it could enter the battle field, etc. He even uses explosives as weapons, prefering to kill his enemies from a safe distance where it won't upset him. That we're sensitive for explosions, doesn't mean we cannot use explosive weapons if we're calculated to be from a safe distance in time and if its an autistic genius then that whole calculating will be immaculate. The trick is to find a way to skate around the weak points. His persona isn't bad-ass, but one could easily look at Christopher and take his skills as a weaponsmaster and fighter and create a character like that, who's actually bad-ass and not the scatter brained sweetheart he is. He actually has a cousin he's close to who uses the gun he created in battle. He's the main protagonist of the specific trilogy they are featured in. A dynamic of 'close like brothers', one being neurodivergent and one being neurotypical and each using their talents to have each other's back is something I actually find a pretty beautiful idea for a action/adventure story. For one, it immediately creates emotional weight in the story. Who doesn't like bromance?
