Finding your place in society and connecting with others can be really hard sometimes, and no one helps people who get it this badly wrong. It's just easier to ignore, avoid and ridicule. Hope this poor kid figures it out.
Alternatively, as a weird kid that grew up to be an autustic adult, he could --through this weird behaviour -- potentially find other kids of his ilk (hell, it only takes one close friend) and they can blunder through together.
Shout out to my best friend of 20-some years, with whom I once dressed up as a Monty python and the holy grail character and skipped around the park carrying coconuts and shouting weird things about shrubberies.
Thank fuck social media wasn't around when I was a weird 10 year old.
This boy is 14, (not really) surprisingly
Not surprising at all, puberty is when the weird behaviour really gets into gear, hormones make you painfully awkward.
