He Has A Special Interest (sherlock Holmes) - Tumblr Posts

star trek star trek tng star trek the next generation star trek next gen data soong data commander data data tng autism autism acceptance day autism acceptance month actually autistic autistic data's so autism it has to be canon Like he doesn't get social cues or humour he mirrors the actions of his human friends (especially geordi) he has a flat effect he has a special interest (sherlock holmes) he can't process his emotions in a ''human'' way and doesn't quite get facial expressions and even when he does get the emotion chip installed he still exhibits literally every other autism trait that's what i love about data post generations. the emotion chip didn't suddenly make him human- -or neurotypical. he's still good ol' autistic data he just knows how to laugh and cry now :) that what i was afraid of when i first watched the movie because i thought they'd just do a whole 180 with his character- -as soon as geordi installed the chip but luckily they did not and i'm very happy about it anyway shoutout to data!! i love him very much <3
