I completely agree. But my focus is on the idea that they were "chosen"...

Chosen by whom implies that Q is a larger organization than I previously thought...perhaps Q is part of the NSA but still closely positioned near the POTUS (BTW the entire use of someone like Q fits completely with Trump's trickster side...that's why he was sent to NYMA as a teen).

And how were they chosen...and did they know they were chosen?

Are some autists chosen and others not?

I think it is a lot simpler than that. They were not individually chosen, though the creation of the forum might have been a front for some key operatives seeding the group.

being in existence and having demonstrated their effectiveness they were chosen as fertile ground for planting the Q seed.
