The obstacles are communication, not that you don’t want to have it. Autism or otherwise, you need connection and you want connection. With the limited tools that he has, as a 20-something person with autism, but also just a person who’s in his 20s who has only so much life experience, he just makes it about, “Who cares? That’s stupid, I don’t need that,” when everybody needs that. This is a character trait for someone with autism, but I’m sure many people can relate to something being hard, so you just make yourself believe that you don’t want it, or you don’t care, and you self-sabotage. He says to his dad that he doesn’t care about friends, and he doesn’t wanna make friends, but that’s obviously not the case because when he makes them, he loves it, and it helps him grow and expand. When things aren’t intuitive for him, he shuts down. GLASSMAN: He’s very frustrated when people don’t understand things that come so intuitively to him. Is he somebody who wants to make friends? Is it a situation where he’s just afraid, or would he rather just not ever have to do that? Rick, when this season starts, Jack is someone who’s not doing very well with connecting with other people or making friends. RELATED: Jason Katims on 'As We See It' and Changing the Narrative Around Autism With His New Series Luckily, I’m around people like Albert and Sue Ann, who are so accepting and fun that it just made it easy, relatively, to make choices and to be what I have learned could come across as too aggressive. But since the character wasn’t that way, it helped me, as a person, not be that way. There is a fear, as I’ve become aware of these things, and it prevents me from always feeling comfortable being myself. I called Sue Ann and Albert last night, preemptively apologizing and saying, “I’m sorry, if I make too many jokes.” I don’t know how I’m gonna be received. With this show, I got to do those things and not have to worry about the results. RICK GLASSMAN: What I liked about playing Jack was that, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned some tools of behavior and social skills to, for better or worse, minimize. And I like the journey that he goes on, throughout the season.
