This started as such a good mystery but then they reveal their hand by making the clearly autistic-coded character the villain.
Which is just another in a long history of people with autism being demonized by media and I'm frankly sick of it. Lars shows such obvious autistic behaviors (stimming, one track focus, sudden outbursts when things don't go according to plan). I wanted to believe that they were setting him up as a red herring because it was just too obvious. But no they went for the easiest answer and called it a day.
Autistic people are not just inherently dangerous and it's irresponsible and damaging to continue to uphold the stereotype that they are.
