( kinda just an excuse to infodumo about him )

In his first episode (Part 340 ), he is shown with an extreme tone deficient voice. The main way we see his emotions is through his eyes and body language.

He also explains his reason for coming to the help desk despite having his paradise is everything was too comfortable, this says hes used to an amount of chaos and uncomfortableness. Changes with autistic people tend to make them feel uncomfortable and stresses them out, so being put in a new situation like that would definitely make him uncomfortable as he no longer has that chaos to keep him sane and or occupied.

He very literal, and extremely direct. In part 425, he directly says he’s leaving and makes no effort to hide his agitation at Carl ( The Catholic ) and Stan ( The Protestant ). He says “Oh my god. I’m going home.” In part 436, he openly says no to a soul and continues his phone call without worry of what the soul thinks of him. He is direct about his needs and often doesn’t care how his words make others feel, it became such as problem that it wounded him up in therapy down in hell. In part 410 he is very open and obvious when it comes to talking about his job with the romance authors, he says there are no sexy aspects of his job and he sticks by that statement.

He is confirmed Demi-sexual ( part 396 ), According to the Harley Therapy Mental Health Blog, it found that Autistic teens and adults were more likely to identify as asexual or “other” sexuality wise. Asexuality and the entire Asexual spectrum is not new to the autistic community and those who are not asexual but are autistic still have a high chance of identifying somewhere on the lgbtq+ spectrum. In part 423, he has no reaction to extremely sexual music and keeps his face deadpan despite the reactions of the others at the desk.

In part 391 he gets a gift from the deities, it’s a duck in a shark nose. In 392 he expresses his concern that he is being gifted something for the hopes of the other party getting something from him. Angel shuts down those beliefs and he is seen holding it in almost every episode he stars in. In part 410 a romance author gifted him another duck which we see later has gained a hat.

He is extremely attached to these ducks as in episode 425 he tells Stan and Carl to not look at his touch nor touch the things on his desk. Him not wanting them to touch anything on his desk points to him having everything in a spot that he wants / his desk being his comfort area and the thoughts of others disturbing that peace makes him uncomfortable.

He vocal stims with “Have you turned it off and back on again” often saying it in moments where it’s not necessarily needed. He physically stims by hitting his head with his duck as seen in part 397.

He defines himself by his job and disregards things such as religion ( part 425 ) for tech support. Technology and Tech in general seems to be his special interest as he not only genuinely defines himself by it, he talks to other people in Tech Support about it specifically in groups ( information given by Sharkie in part 397 ).
