My gf and I just sat down and watched both fantastic beast films back to back (shut up, i know.)
She’s a psychiatrist and started talking about Newt’s clear social difficulties, high intellect, and his fixation or curiosities towards things most people would be repulsed or not interested in.
One thing I noticed too is that in fantastic beasts 2 leta has an EXCELLENT flashback scene. It’s only four mins and it’s easily my favorite in the film.
You get to see very intimately how Newt acts- he doesn’t wear shoes, he’s hunched over, and he can’t even look Leta in the eye. It’s such a touching scene because you can tell that Newt hasn’t been accepted due to his social behaviors, and it’s really the strongest case I have for Newt having HFA.
