Ty is 100% on the spectrum. I've got a mate who has Aspergers syndrome, and there many similarities between him and Ty.
My mate has absolutely zero self-awareness, he has no filter on what he says and lacks the ability to take a breath and 'look at himself' or listen to what he's saying and how it might be perceived. He would definitely see nothing weird about engaging children in a full-blown argument, for example, and would shout with them as though he was arguing with an adult male. He also wears a full football kit sometimes and cannot understand why people laugh at him for it, nor can he take it as a joke.
Ty definitely has Aspergers syndrome or some other personality disorder.
