Thank you for sharing that! I love your reading of the show as fractured memories of a chaotic time. That makes perfect sense to me. I also love the reading of Radar as autistic. One of my die-hard headcanons about this show is that Radar really is clairvoyant (and the way it's presented, he kind of has to be) and I love that paired with autistic.
I will say no to the discord invite, but thank you very much.
I hold that headcanon about him being genuinely clairvoyant, especially how the show later established ghosts were real, too, so it's not much of a stretch. One of my favorite moments regarding his abilities was in "Bulletin Board" when he goes very still and quiet and everyone realizes what that means, and Trapper looks at him and he nods in affirmation to an unspoken question. I've seen at least one fic posit that it runs in his family, and I'm fond of the idea of it being known to the people of Ottumwa and it's accepted as something that he can do without any judgment or suspicion.
Also, it's likely that - with him being autistic - he rarely showered because he wanted to shower in private, and privacy is the rarest commodity at the 4077.
