I personally find it to be very flattering that the Yautja race recognize in this film that autistic DNA holds value due to them believing it to be a vital step in human evolution.
Rory is my favorite cus he’s a brave young kid who legit, killed someone on Halloween, and took advantage of it.
Coyle is my favorite he is funny when he says jokes.
