Yes! I've been meaning to make a post about this, but I feel like how Moxxie is portrayed in his trip showcased his insecurity about his intelligence, even though only HE was creating the Moxxie illusion in the first place, therefore HE had to know the words that Moxxie was saying in order to make him feel insecure about himself. It's contradictory, and perfectly shows how autistic people tend to under credit themselves and their smarts because they aren't seen as conventionally intelligent. I'm just saying, how in the world could that part of the trip even exist if he didn't even have the ability to create such a strange landscape in the first place? However other than that it's really clear to me Blitz's issues reaches FAR more to personal matters that isn't inherently caused by his autism, so I won't even bother talking about anything else in that episode that hinted to his autism that wasn't apparent to me. As for episode 7, Blitz is shown hugging himself and hugging a pillow for comfort, he was trying to seek out pressure stims for comfort. He was also distress humming while entering his house, and to top it off he curled up into a ball while breaking down in tears. All of these things are extremely common in emotional breakdowns with autistic people, and signifies he was seeking comfort unconsciously and was perhaps touch starved. But at the same time as soon as he was offered the physical attention he wanted from Stolas, he immediatly declined because his emotions were too intense to ignore to get what he wanted yet. Needless to say...once you figure that out the entire situation becomes all the more heartbreaking ;-; I hope this helps!

Yep yep, I totally agree with you there! I made my last update post after episode five came out but I wasn't able to cover the hints of his autism in that episode in full, but there are a few moments in that episode other than the one you're mentioning that helps the theory! Here's some off the top of my head: -Blitz's happy foot stims after falling from Moxxie and Millie's stimming -His special interest in Bombproof, Striker's horse, is extremely apparent whenever you see him staring at him in the background -I mentioned this before, but the fact that he didn't acknowledge or identify once that Moxxie disliked Striker the whole episode and not until Moxxie looked down upset is so hecking important -His overly crude statements towards Millie's family, while were accepted, still visibly took them by surprise when he first spoke. I know for a fact that if they weren't so casual about it Blitz would have been beaten to a bloody pulp for his comments in front of them like that hdfhdgfgf -Blitz in the background of the tug of war competition used his teeth to physically try to hold back the rope more. This-I highly don't recommend ever doing that irl but it could be seen as a stim made on a impulse so- -Blitz's visible frustration out of Stolas using his nickname instead of calling him by his preferred name could also be a symptom showing, as many autistic people fucking hate being called by the wrong name as it messes with their brains and the overall routine pattern of being called that name. I have no proof for this myself but it feels like the same frustration I get whenever someone takes my seat at a table, especially if it's a seat I'm well known for having and usually take.
