31 Plays in 31 Days, #13 - “Diagnosis”
Aug. 13th, 2022 07:15 pmApparently I’m fleshing out this idea.
I mentioned that I thought it could make a cool timeskipped King of the Hill story to include the common fan interpretation that Hank is on the autism spectrum. I liked the idea that the now-grown Bobby is a social worker, and when Hank’s much younger half-brother G.H. gets diagnosed, it causes Bobby to notice it fits with Hank and broach the possibility with him.
The substance of this scene is lacking. I read it through and it feels clumsy and imprecise. Not to mention not all that funny, in that particular dry, lowkey way. But I think the structure is here.
