Any fellow autistic people who love the show?

While I am in no way suggesting the characters are autistic, I am here to say that as a high-masking autistic person, I adore this show.
there is so much camouflaging, intense study of their environment, and monotropic, black & white focus on their mission (especially Elizabeth, wow).
plus I adore the jennings’ many disguises. and as someone very sensitive to justice, I find the moral quandaries of the Cold War endlessly fascinating.
