Summary
" Mav furrows his brow and slowly lowers his bottle from his mouth, eyes still trained on Bob’s nose and not his eyes, and asks, “Yeah, my foster mother when I was thirteen was a mechanic, she’s the reason I can repair an entire engine block despite the fact that I’ve never owned a car, how did you know that?”
Bob inhales slowly and then says, “Have you ever heard the term ‘autism’ before, Mav?”
The whole table goes silent, all realizing where he’s going with this. You could hear a pin drop amidst the quiet. Mav furrows his eyebrows together even tighter, still not meeting Bob’s eyes, and he answers, “Maybe?” "

aka, five times someone noticed that there is something different about Maverick and then the one time it all suddenly made sense.

Summary
" He runs a hand through his hair and heaves one final sigh before speaking again, “Truth be told kid, I didn’t want to pull your papers, it wasn’t even my idea,” he stares now, somewhere off into the distance, rather than meeting Bradley’s eyes, “It was your mom’s.”
And suddenly, everything makes so much sense in hindsight. Bradley tips his head, running back through the entire conflict from the moment his mom died to the end of the mission, the memories playing out in his mind like a rewound tape. “Huh,” he finally says, something between a sigh and a laugh. "
Bradley and Mav finally have that talk they promised.

aka, my take on the missing conversation scene where Mav and Bradley sit down and work their shit out in TGM.

“Yeah,” Ron echoes softly, “But I like Maverick more.”

Maverick is thirty six when he hears the word Autism for the first time in 1999. He doesn’t think much of it.
