"After reading Jacob [Tierney, the showrunner] 's scripts, even before the book, I immediately saw how he would operate. My dad is on the spectrum, he knows it," said Williams regarding Hollander's autism, which has been separately confirmed by Reid. He explained his dad was "first in class in everything" and a "very technical genius in a lot of ways". But Williams said that socially his dad "would say that he doesn't want to deal with emotions".

"The writers were very open to [hearing] how I would say things. For example, in the autism community, we don't say, 'I have autism'."},{
