Artist and philosopher [[Henry Flynt]] dedicated [[Creep (book chapter)|a book chapter]] on creepiness in which he states who have missed developmental stages into adulthood are judged as creepy because they lack [[Fisherian runaway|superficial aspects]] of adult behavior. This is possibly related to autism as autists also never reach adult behavior and are often regarded as creepy due to their lack intuitions about personal boundaries. | Artist and philosopher [[Henry Flynt]] dedicated [[Creep (book chapter)|a book chapter]] on creepiness in which he states who have missed developmental stages into adulthood are judged as creepy because they lack [[Fisherian runaway|superficial aspects]] of adult behavior.

{{quote|The creep is an involuntary celibate because he fails to develop the surface traits of adulthood--poise and sophistication; and because he is shy, unassertive, and lacks self-confidence in the presence of others . The creep is awkward and has an unstylish appearance. He seems sexless and childish. He is regarded by the ideal adults with condescending scorn, amusement, or pity.}} | {{quote|The creep is an [[incel|involuntary celibate]] because he fails to develop the surface traits of adulthood--poise and sophistication; and because he is shy, unassertive, and lacks self-confidence in the presence of others .
