There is a scene that leads to speculation but is not fleshed out well. When Nate return home to live after quitting in Season 3, he plays his violin. His dad watches then they have a discussion. To me, his dad implies that he didn’t know how to parent someone like Nate. So was Nate a high IQ genius or music virtuoso? Was he on the autism spectrum? I think his great ideas on a specific topic coupled with underachieving and social awkwardness, and misuses of figures of speech could fit autism but also some geniuses are plagued with self-doubt or low self-esteem. Thoughts?
He’s actually a progeny.
