Hey, everyone who reads this! Arthur Read fan here. Having (high-functioning) autism myself (and am not ashamed of it), I recently realised that Carl Gould probably isn't the only character on Arthur with autism. In fact, I think there's another character that could potentially have autism: Alan "The Brain" Powers.

Some of the reasons why I think Brain has autism is because like Carl, he tends to be matter-of-fact (like how Carl was in the episode "He Said, He Said"), he has special interests (for Carl, it's trains; for Brain, it's scientific things), and he has some fears (for Carl, it's ventriloquist dummies; for Brain, it's swimming and hurricanes).

I think it would really cool if (and I mean if) Brain has autism. It's never been stated if he has autism or not (as far as I'm aware of), but that doesn't mean he doesn't have some form of autism. I mean, his uncle, Keith Powers, has it, so maybe...

I may say more about this theory I have later. But for now, have a wonderful kind of day!
