As an autistic person, I would like to congratulate Big Mouth for the eeriely accurate representation of autism (especially autistics who don't mask such as Caleb). The fact that I can relate to him is just...wow. I don't know if I can put it into words.
I totally agree. I was very recently diagnosed with ASD (late 20) and was told my ability to mask was probably what kept me from getting diagnosed for so long. A lot of the stuff Caleb says are similar to things I’m thinking all the time and have to suppress when I’m masking.
I like how the other kids treat him. He’s just Caleb. You don’t touch his backpack. If he asks about social cues they tell him. They don’t try to upset him or ignore his needs. Of course they’ve probably known him since they were little and know what’s up
One of my favorite moments is where Devon had Caleb give Devin divorce papers. Then Devon is like: "How did she take it?" Caleb responds with: "With her right hand."
I think Caleb needs to have more scenes in Big Mouth as this is what Big Mouth does best the writers show us even autistic people can have puberty, I don't get why they've not really covered it in the show at all as I'm kind of disappointed in that. Sure it has nudity, sex, drugs, and foul language but even this adult animation can show us the other aspects of puberty as well
I remember one time in school, some guy took my backpack when I was getting lunch and I saw him running away with it. I immediately handed my lunch to my friend and literally DARTED after him and dived and tackled him to the floor and started beating the absolute H-E-Double Hockey Sticks out of him 😂 good times (and yes, I am autistic as well)
The fact that Maury was all: "Hey, Caleb 😑"... I wonder if he worked with Caleb at one point 🤔 bur they just didn't click, so Caleb got a new Hormone Monster.

well not all autistic people, but yeah i do find a need to explain the obvious, i don't have issues with interpreting feelings however
fr he is incredibly relatable I might not have difficulty recognising emotions but I don't usually know how to respond to them
I see I’m as relatable to because I have a.d.d
he was so on point last season.

Exactly!
Seriously. Real life school is definitely moving in that direction.
I didn't realise Caleb is autistic until I read his character bio
there's something so great watching Caleb beat the shit out of Andrew, especially in this episode
Andrew does deserve it, now and again.
That kid does not play about his backpack 😭😂😂

Never touch Caleb's bagpack otherwise you will have a bad time
I’m autistic but I won’t exactly react like what Caleb did but Ill be like “OI! Oi oi oi hey hey! What are you doing?”
@@RyanZacharkoI mean, every autistic person is different so yeah
@@lizbritto8492 agreed
I just love how Big Mouth's producers are dealing with an autistic student. Honest, clear and not turning it into a joke
Love Caleb, hope he gets a proper storyline in one of the last 2 seasons
He got practically his own episode in S7 E9
He got his own storyline in an episode! As an autistic person I related a lot, it made me tear up 🥺🫶🏼 Love Caleb 🤧
@@Ghost-lt4sf Was it him at the mall looking for a backpack?
@@saraisrebecca Yes! c: It was one of my favorite episodes of the season. Missy's encounter with Dread was also very relatable
@@Ghost-lt4sfIkr
i love that caleb got more recognition this new season
1:57 back when they were still figuring out who can can’t see hormone monsters.
Maury probably became his hormone monster that day
Probably something called "Magic Eyes"
The “Angry” scene gets me Everytime 😂
Slapping Jay's dad with his backpack is probably what made it break in season 7 lol
😂😂😂

No worries in season 7 he gets more episodes on himself and a friendship with Matthew
Well buddy do I have the episode for you
@@gothbimbo9470 Yeah I saw that episode I was in love with their friendship
@@TheFMHatter1986 tbh I'm hoping him and Matt get together
@@gothbimbo9470 Me too as he slay cunt to Matthew
1:38 geometry!
As someone on the spectrum, i would say that Caleb is an accurate depiction of autisic people.
I resonate so much with Caleb
I remember one time in school, some guy took my backpack when I was getting lunch and I saw him running away with it. I immediately handed my lunch to my friend and literally DARTED after him and dived and tackled him to the floor and started beating the absolute H-E-Double Hockey Sticks out of him 😂 good times (and yes, I am autistic as well)
In a show with a stacked deck Caleb is truly underrated
Lil’ guy can fit in his own backpack.
Caleb is definitely autistic, and as an autistic person myself, i support this representation. It’s pretty accurate to how i sometimes act.
The fact that Maury was all: "Hey, Caleb 😑"... I wonder if he worked with Caleb at one point 🤔 bur they just didn't click, so Caleb got a new Hormone Monster.
in the new season it confirms that Maury is his hormone monster
Caleb might be the only truly redeemable thing in this entire show.
Me when I lie:
I love Caleb from Big Mouth. Plus, his highly intelligence.
I didn’t realise Caleb was autistic until I read his bio
Caleb is me. I am him. We are we. "He can't read social cues" "Hey what's up, Caleb?" 😂
Edit: HOW COULD I FORGET MY FAVORITE??? "Now people know!!"
My favorite character😂🫰🏼
"Now people know :)"
I love it that Caleb is actually on a good rapport with Morty
GEOMETRY
I love him already
The backpack scene plays twice.
oewyawe i love him sm😭😭❤️
Angry
Connie the HM: We should reach up into that little pygmy's ass and PULL OUT HIS HEART!... HIS ASS-HEART!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Perfect closing clip
🎶Come on now, hey! That's what I like, I like about you🎶
*GYMWALL* "Now people will know"
Caleb is the best character in the whole show

Caleb is that dude!
Angry :D
My favorite scene 😂
Looks like i picked the right outfit this morning 😂
I wish it was revealed that Caleb was the boss of all the monsters
No-masking king
1:43 WHAT THE FUCK! 🤣🤣🤣

You just said you hate an autistic character.
