Is Bobby Hill unironically on the autism spectrum?

Both Hank and Peggy are very autistic, if anything they make Bobby look well adjusted considering they raised him

Nah, I could see that reading when he was originally portrayed as a duller boy but Bobby pretty consistently displays complex emotional intelligence even if he's immature and inexperienced he still does his best to read emotional subtext of situations and empathize to deduce conclusions that aren't readily apparent.
In fairness Hank less wants to live vicariously and more can't fathom avenues of success that aren't ones he appreciates. It's less he wants Bobby to live his dreams for him and more he's pretty content with life and believes that Bobby's path to achieving what he has is to live similarly but he has difficulty seeing Bobby isn't him and The world isn't the same.

no but his dad sure was

Hank grew up in Post WW2 Texas. His only ideology of the world is of the south or more specifically of Texas culture and the idea that Bobby is more interested with Californian or New York Culture instead of his heirtage infuriates him because he knows even if he comes to face with it, Bobby isnt gonna be producing stuff like "Tombstone" or "Yellowstone" or even a good war movie like Saving Private Ryan its gonna be Carrot Top level comedy or more accurately if factoring in the reboot stuff like Tosh .0

on the autism spectrum

Once again, everybody is on the autism spectrum. That is what a fucking spectrum is. How do you not understand this? Why is Anon Babble (and the internet in general) full of people who've seen a word or term and think they understand it or think they've used it correctly.

Everybody, whether autistic or not, is on the autism spectrum. It is a spectrum. What you should ask is 'is Bobby autistic?' and the answer is yes

Haha are you anon? XD

No, I just dislike retards and it is tiring and energy consuming removing your shroud of ignorance.

no you retard
very normal kid with some quirks
a lot better than me or my friends growing up pretending we were shapeshifting into our favorite Pokémon and screaming in my front yard

But thats not what Bobby is into

Bobby also wants to hang with Hank but they don't share many interests.

Maybe every now and then but Bobby is very independent

a good child does things with their parents that they might not like. It's not about independence it's about family bonds

i think joseph is just weird because he is raised by a conspiranoid father which has lead to joseph's imagination run wild and also bobby being someone who goes with the flow has lead him to just be himself and not becoming too self-centered or vain

So, prior to the storyboard leaks, there was another leak during one of the VAs interview where there is a poster commemorating Bobby and his career as a famous chef of sorts. He heads his own fusion cuisine restaurant in Austin and has won a couple of awards for his work. The only downside is that part of his style of cooking involves charcoal grilling which... well its kinda obvious how that impacts he relationship with his dad.

Once again, everybody is on the autism spectrum

"On the spectrum" is supposed to imply that its to a degree that it registers as some level of a disability.
Everyone's retarded but that doesn't mean that everyone is a retard.

Bobby has a disorder. That means he's NOT NORMAL.

no, he was a lefty because he ain't right, i tell you what

Someone who was autistic wouldn't have realized that following that clown college professor's act advice would have destroyed him socially.

Everybody with a bit of personality is autistic for some of you. Do you hang around with only bots or you're the bots.

Christ, no. If anything, he's more normal than Hank.

He just ain't right.

vicariously thru Bobby since he doesnt care for Football or sports in general.

No way in hell that's correct. You are projecting like there.
Hank wanted to do exactly what he is doing since he was a child. That's kind of his joke:
Episode 3 from season 1, right at the start.

Hank might wrong in trying to make Boby into someone that he is not, but as some others said, he is trying to get Boby to act in ways that Hank believes would be good for him. He might be over compensating for his lacking and uncaring father.

I keep writing something, going back on it and changing some stuff, adding some other shit, and then not reading to make sure I didn't make a mess of the whole sentence.

I don't know why I can't stop this. I can't for the life of me write anything and make sense in the first try.

Not that anon, but wasn't this retconned in the later seasons that Hank cares about propane mostly because of Buck? By the art style, I assume this is S1 or 2 at the latest.

I don't know what you could diagnose Bobby as, but I know he remained engaging and entertaining throughout King of the Hill's entire run. It's insane how Loren Bouchard had Jim Dauterive help develop his series and then proceeded to make a worse Bobby, one that somehow grows worse and worse with every new season...

Yeah, that's the third episode of season 1.

Hank is significantly more autistic than Bobby if we're being honest. He's like a giga-masking pseudo-normie. Bobby's a quirky neurotypical.

Young Hank just wants to talk about fixing cars and doesn't pick up on any attention sent his way from women

Yeah, Hank is a more likely candidate for being on the spectrum and never diagnosed.

I blame Hank's mom. She becomes almost more unreasonable then even Cotton does and the peak of this comes from how she goes thru 2 divorces after Cotton one of them taking place off stream and then hear flat out just wanting to go "soul searching" which at her age is pointless because its like that one Ep of that old woman demanding to die inside Hank's home because it used to belong to her.

Cotton is far worse and more unreasonable than Tilly, but Tilly's personality was probably the worst thing for Hank apart from being equally as abusive or literally absent.
I don't think Tilly is wrong for wanting to soul search, no matter your age you need to be content especially if you're gonna die soon. The issue is Tilly is such a selfish irresponsible cunt and always has been. Cotton is a monster, but she always prioritized her own peace over even helping her son.

He was honestly probably the most socially adjusted of the whole cast.

giga-masking pseudo-normie

What does this mean.

Hank is autistic trying hard to pretend he's a normal guy.
Though the reality is that Hank is traumatized his coping method was to create the structure and stability that Cotton refused to provide him.

This.

I HAV GOUT!!!
NEED ME LIVER LIVER AND ME CHICKEN CHICKEN

Hank is the autistic one, Bobby is unironically a chad who effortlessly charms people, makes friends, grabs dates, sells shit, plays crowds, etc.

On that show, who isn't?

Early season Bobby had some classic simpleton traits (as did Bill) as in none too bright but makin his way the best he can, in ways that come off weird sometimes. There's a slight overlap between that and some of the classic forms of autism that used to be the first thing you think of when you hear autistic (the other being the Rain Man type) which really bears no resemblance either to the autism we get now, nor the massively misaccurate label that autism gets now (which yes, that would cover Bobby, because it covers fucking everyone)

later-season Bobby was just a loud fratboy retard, with no discernible disorder.

if everyone's on it then it's not real
this isn't like OCD where everybody has it because that's how you handle tasks, some people just handle task but too much

a good child does things with their parents that they might not like.

That's fine, but that compromise should go both ways then.
