That's what I (someone whose like Carl) was just thinking! Well, something like that.

I mean I don't think "Buster Spaces Out" refers to autism though it does feature Carl who has it, but this accompanying episode, "The Long Road Home," is the second episode that makes reference to autism, the first being "When Carl Met George" a.k.a. "George and the Missing Puzzle Piece" except in that episode, the word 'autism,' isn't mentioned, 'Asperger Syndrome,' which I have myself, is used. (I've mentioned I had Asperger's Syndrome times before on this wikia, though I'm not ashamed to admit this about myself, I hope I'm not pushing the envelope with that. I don't just have autism but have sort of an interest in it too.)

And how many cartoons actually refer to autism? Very few, and I believe Calliou is the other cartoon I know that shows an autistic character, unless you count Ralph from the Simpsons and Dil from Rugrats All Grown Up. I'm not saying they have autism too, they probably don't, but like I said, cartoons rarely show characters with or make reference to autism, at least directly. It's also been said Nonny from the Bubble Guppies has Asperger's but I'm not sure that's true either.
