    The most autistic professional I’ve ever encountered was an anesthesiologist. He explained in an excited monotone every detail about how anesthesia works before a surgery I was scheduled to have. I cracked some dumb dad joke about counting backwards from 10 I think and he stood up and said “you’re not taking this seriously, I’ll return” and left. He eventually came back and asked if I was ready to continue. The nurse said “Yeah, he’s serious”.
