    Summary

    " Mav furrows his brow and slowly lowers his bottle from his mouth, eyes still trained on Bob’s nose and not his eyes, and asks, “Yeah, my foster mother when I was thirteen was a mechanic, she’s the reason I can repair an entire engine block despite the fact that I’ve never owned a car, how did you know that?”

    Bob inhales slowly and then says, “Have you ever heard the term ‘autism’ before, Mav?”

    The whole table goes silent, all realizing where he’s going with this. You could hear a pin drop amidst the quiet. Mav furrows his eyebrows together even tighter, still not meeting Bob’s eyes, and he answers, “Maybe?” "

    --------------

    aka, five times someone noticed that there is something different about Maverick and then the one time it all suddenly made sense.
