The main character has a noticeable stutter as his only confirmed disability. His obsession with water comes from being told his dad died of thirst in the desert during a war, and seems to be a trauma response rather than a autism-specific special interest.

The football players make fun of the Waterboy, call him a 'moron', ridicule his mental capacities, etc. The R word is used inappropriately.

In a flashback, we see a man supposedly having a "nervous breakdown" -- he is talking on a phone that isn't connected, suffering obvious delusions, and (for some reason) wearing high heels.
