YES, you should watch the recap of the last ep! It's the shows tradition, less about the story recap but more about listening to the "Carry On My Wayward Son" song while the recap is playing.

Regarding your question about Cas, the thing is, he said himself that angels hadn't been on earth in thousands of years until the boys kick-started the apocalypse, and so he just hasn't really had any interaction with them. Autistic people tend to have trouble picking up on nonverbal cues, facial expressions and the like, but with Cas, he just has no frame of reference, full-stop, because he's not even remotely human, himself. He was able to interpret and comprehend Jimmy's feelings of betrayal when he didn't show up in The Rapture (since he was stuck up in Heaven against his will at the time), but once Cas was actually free, he went to Jimmy and reassured him that he would keep his promise and make sure that Jimmy's family wasn't hurt, which means - at least in my eyes - that he can *come* to understand human emotions, even if he might start out clueless in certain instances. Of all the writers, Edlund is *the* best at writing Cas (imo), but I never got the impression Cas was autistic just going by what we see of him and how he responds. Plus, it kinda seems off to me to assign a human condition like that to a non-human being, when we don't have the foggiest idea of what's even considered 'neuro-typical' for angels (if there even is such a thing). It might take him a while, but Cas gets it, eventually.

2021-07-15 04:40:11 to answer the question at the beginning: I'm autistic. I don't feel represented w/ Castiel. He definitely has some typical traits you can find among autists but remember, autism is a spectrum &amp; he maybe represents a percentage of that spectrum, atleast at the beginning of S4. Autism is a neurodivergent condition affecting the way we process &amp; perceive information incl. emotions. We do understand emotions, we just signal them differently, which affects how we perceive them &amp; while, sure Castiel's not a human, fantasy shows have great potential to mirror that w/ the concept of magical elements: 1 example is how all the names of prophets are "imprinted" in Castiel's mind so he was 100% convinced the "whore of babylon" wasn't 1. You can compare that w/ the humble tendency of neurotypicals referring to memories as "I'm 90% sure, I could be wrong" while autists may handle memories differently as if they're imprinted in our minds. 2. example could be Castiel being the only 1 who sees the reapers. Here the hunter group depended on his difference in perception. These are good examples of representing us, whether intentional or not, however: Lets look at the same example of "seeing reapers" but w/ Crowley &amp; Dean. Here it seems to Dean that Crowley's just playing w/ him, thats why this, technically "same" example as the 2nd, was not a good representation (I'm purposefully choosing Crowley bc no matter the intent in writing his character, he also has some typical traits that can appear on the spectrum, the non-chalant switch in tone when he speaks being 1 of them). In any case, the show's main characters are Sam &amp; Dean, both dominated by neurotypical traits &amp; we experience the show through their perceptions, views &amp; interpretations. So by the end of S5, Castiel's conditioned into neurotypical behaviour &amp; that is a harmful representation bc the goal shouldn't be to turn us into neurotypicals. We can't be "re-wired", acting as neurotypicals costs alot of "mental translation" work which will have side-effects on our mental health. Accomodating to these traits is what we'd need. But if you look at other angels &amp; how they behave systemically, then maybe he's a "neurodivergent angel" while every other angel's neurotypical. But we didn't get much of other angels' "daily life" to determine that. Anyway I just wanted to share why I don't feel represented by Castiel, no matter if that even was the intent in his character, &amp; why it doesn't matter if the representation happens in non-human characters.

This representation of Death is one of my favorite parts of the entire show. He and Cas have the coolest intros to a character I have ever seen in a show. Each obviously with their own different energy.
