One coworker tells an autistic coworker that they are being rude, first stating that their coworker asked them to let them know when they were doing this, so I would say actually this is helpful behaviour not bullying.

Missile launch room is small and the workers have to be locked in behind a safe-like door. The NORAD base also has a giant safe-like door and goes into lockdown meaning there is no escape from it, twice in the film we see the door shutting and people just squeezing through the gap without getting crushed. Also there is scene of teen in vent.
