I personally fully agree with this theory, as I can relate a lot to Pearl + I'm autistic myself

I stim literally all the time, mostly unconsciously, and my inability to properly socialize and my heavy vocabular frequently gets me in trouble. Even when I (try to) act neurotypically, I weird people out.

Like, what types of harm makes people laugh and what types doesn't? Why does my friend taking off duct tape and screaming in anguish make people laugh, but when I drop a kilogram weight on my hand, people just look weird at me and tell me that I'm bizarre?

These are all things that Pearl seem to try out a bunch, and I like how the show portrays it.

TL;DR: I support this theory 100%.
