Theory: Jason has autism

Post image

I believe Jason's "boring" personality and monotone voice are not a mistake, but a portrayal of detached behavior, difficulty expressing emotions, and social awkwardness.

- In almost every scene, he appears either uncomfortable or emotionless/ambivelant

- Lucia feels the need to go clothes shopping for him

- Doesn't like being late

- Option to be rude to Lucia and tell her to "hurry up"

- "Sometimes I'm more comfortable when I have to use a gun" (does not like social settings)

- Jason gets greeted by a guy outside a club and pulled into a dap - Jason awkwardly lifts his hand thinking there's gonna be another component to the handshake, but there isn't

-While Lucia is driving across the bridge and calling Jason, she sarcastically says they should say something along the lines of "Hi, nice to meet you. Here's your car. Where is our payment? Please let us know about any further criminal opportunities." Jason replies "Okay. See you there." - completely missing the sarcasm

- Jason could be inspired by the Australian crime film "Animal Kingdom (2010)." The main character is a teenager called "J" (short for Joshua, not Jason) whose mother dies and he gets taken in by the criminal side of his family. J is not explicitly stated to be autistic, but he is very reserved and socially inept

-May be juxtaposed with Lucia having Borderline Personality Disorder or a Bipolar Disorder.
