Day walker (autism slang, informal) — An autistic person who can blend into neurotypical society well enough that most people don’t realize they’re autistic. They can “pass” in social situations, even if it takes effort or feels unnatural.
“He’s a daywalker — he’s got autism, but he’s unlocked the social DLC, so you don’t notice until he starts explaining Austrian economics.”

Get the daywalker mug.An individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). While still a form of intellectual divergence someone with autism may not have debilitating intellectual divergence, riding the line between “intellectual disability” and “neurotypical.” While the term “retard” has become very offensive, making the term “half-tard” likely offensive, “daywalker” neatly sums up ASD.
That guy is a daywalker. He’s retarded but still able to have a pretty normal life and maybe even trick a lot of people into thinking “they’re just a little weird”

Get the Daywalker mug.Someone who skips work to play video games and eat pizza. Or someone who just generally does very little work during the day. Instead of being productive, during the day they "wack off" hence the term, Daywacker.
Me: What's Sebastian doing today, he's not a work?
Co-worker: He took the day off to play video games and eat pizza, because he's a Daywacker.
