Steven: I was at the park, and some girl was covering her ears.

SkittishReflections: She probably has autism, Steven. Some people on the autism spectrum cover their ears, due to sensorial input.

Steven: Sensei?

SkittishReflections: No, you idiot! Noise sensitivity! They try to block it out, by covering their ears.

Steven: Is that why Damien covers his ears?

themysticalqueen: That's right.

Steven: Noises are a part of life.

Diane: You just don't understand autism, Steven. And, you better not pick on anyone for it, either.

Steven: Okay, okay.

Trevor: Got my eye on you.

Steven: Yes, I get it.
