CUPP CUPP of Netflix “residence” on the spectrum of autism?

One of the unresolved mysteries of the very popular white house in Shondaland, the White White House, “the residence” is whether the unforgettable detective of Uzo Aduba, Cordelia Cupp, is on the specter of autism or Neurodivergent Aka Neurospicy.

The answer would vary, according to whom you ask. On Tudum, Uzo Aduba describes her character as a woman who is “strong, she does not mince words and she is herself shameless”. Finding the right costume for the character was an integral part of the narration. “Cordelia was not going to look like [she’s a] Part of this world we all know, says Aduba. “And it was emblematic that she does not enter any world. She is a woman who is entirely hers – singular – and she goes well in the world in this way.”

Cordelia Cupp is more than a columbo or a monk

After the body of the head of the White House, Giancarlo Esposito) is discovered during a state dinner with Austraila. The head of the DC metropolitan police department, who has jurisdiction, calls for Cupp (who has a global reputation for resolution of murders). It looks more like Hercule Poirot. While men in high places play the tug on who can cancel Cupp’s investigation, she ignores them. She puts herself in business, bringing together complex puzzle pieces and presenting us all the players while offering a good dose of references to birds and one side of the observation of birds in the middle of the investigation.

Fans have presented their clues

The online public speaks because they see at least evidence of an autistic coded character in Cordelia Cupp.

Here is the official definition

According to DSM-5, to meet the criteria of autism spectrum, individuals have persistent deficits in social communications and social interaction in several contexts.

• Deficits in the range of socio-emotional reciprocity, for example, an abnormal social approach and a normal conversation of back and forth to a reduced sharing of the interests, emotions or affect and the failure of the initiate.
• Symptoms cause clinically significant alteration in social, professional or other important fields of current functioning.
• These disturbances are not better explained by intellectual development disorder (intellectual handicap) or global development delay. Intellectual development disorder and self-cccter autism disorder frequently.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder can become fixed on certain subjects and can also be isolated socially. In the case of Cordelia Cupp, its fixing with birds was a constant throughout the series. Then it was combined with social isolation later in the series.

However, on the other hand, although she did not take up the social signals, she showed empathy with her friend, the chief of the metropolitan police, and made a decision that helped her when he needed it most.

But here is the thing: Cordelia Cupp knows that it is different. I will be very vague here for those who have not looked The residence Again. Remember the conversation with his nephew in episode 4, when they are birds, and he wants to give up?

“Do you never think it’s unhealthy?”

This is a word that my mother uses when she talks about you.

“Subsing. Difficult, obsessive, a ..” he said.

“Without compromise”, Cordelia presents herself.

Then she tells him the story about her mother’s strawberry socks. In the end, Cordelia says. “It’s not the only way to be, but it’s the way I am.

In the same episode, she offers her nephew a bird observation book and talks about what she uses hers.

“I like to sketch things I see. I learn a lot from the drawing. I filed what I saw, where I looked at, what questions I have. ”

But Aduba also said that bird observation talks about CUP’s patience. “Observation of birds takes an incredible amount of patience. You have to wait, wait until the moment to come to you rather than running after the birds.”

Thus, in this case, the observation of birds becomes a metaphor for how it methodically solves cases.
