Dook LaRue from the Rock-Afire Explosion is so autistic.

2. Misinterpreted as rude when he doesn't understand what's happening.
3. Needs specific instructions on what to do or say. In Trivia Night, he got confused when Fatz kept saying his name, without telling him that he was supposed to introduce himself.
4. Stimming. Flaps his ears when happy or excited, or when he hears noise.
5. Always smiling.
6. Outer space is his special interest.
7. Wears space suits all the time. He explained that he's been doing it ever since he was a kid, and he made his own space suit.
