Not technically canon BUT
I like to imagine Timey would have no idea they are autistic outside of hunches here and there because I think a lot of undiagnosed autistic people don’t realize it is a spectrum and that there are many different ways it could present. It’s easy to be like “well I don’t act like those autistic people, so I must not be autistic,” and both autistic and allistic people will push this idea sometimes! and there is a lot of weirdness about even suspecting you have a disorder that I’m sure a lot of people are turned away from even bothering to research in fear that they’re making their struggles up. Sometimes researching disorders feels like swallowing a poison that is hard to cure.
I like to think MS and Gear would be supportive of Timey looking into it though (though they’d probably believe beep is even if they didn’t /silly. Theyve spent a lot of time together)
Sorry for projecting autistic horrors on the clock anywayssss
