Nanette 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWJhMnYv6Mg

Can Nanette 3 be about autism?

I found these fundamentally unwatchable, but I guess there’s an audience for it.
Nanette is more an angry speech by a clever and witty person than the "comedy special" it's made out to be.
I mean she starts out by saying she is quitting comedy.

Worked for Carlin.
I don't recall Carlin ever playing up self-pity. That's the part, for me, that's hard to watch.

It's the even less funny cousin of cringe comedy, imho.

Well, she’s certainly angry at least.
their first one quite good and thought provoking. The fact that this person had the gall to make a second one after all the talk in the first, the words sellout and hypocrite are not enough.
Did you watch the second one?
