    Its just the stereotypical trains = autism trope. As our understanding of autism is expanded, the joke stars feeling dated.

      People, like whoever drew this comic, are starting to evoke the trope without any nuance or understanding. Like you said, it’s just trains = autism. It’s getting annoying.
