anybody else ever think about how Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space 9 only being able to hold his physical form for about 16 hours normally before having to return to a liquid state to generate is a brilliant metaphor for a neurodivergent person only being able to keep their neurodivergent mask up for some of the day before they cannot any more?
or how him being able to be his full self around folx is such a beautiful metaphor for finding those you can unmask around and share your real joy?
