I'm not sure I agree this Spock is coded autistic (a subject I'm very familiar with), but Leonard Nimoy's Spock as an older autistic person who feels secure in himself and have learned to read the necessary social codes and act on them actally makes perfect sense to me.

Someone well-meaning but extremely literal who doesn't always understand metaphors or humor; he's like a more confident Data, or a less dickish Sheldon.
