Showtime - Meadowlands - Mark (gay, maybe?)

Anybody watching Meadowlands? I think the show may end up having a gay character. The son, Mark, is asexual right now. In the next episode he experiments with cross-dressing and gets beat up pretty bad. The thing is that Mark is a highly-functioning autistic who wears gloves after being in a fire. It will be interesting to see where they take this.

The autistic part is interesting, it reminds me of Daniel Tammet who is a highly-functioning autistic gay man in the UK. He remembered and recounted pi, recounting it to its 22,514th digit in just over 5 hours. 60 Minutes did a piece on him.
