i do like autistic gorgug but could you please elaborate on your reasons for thinking they're autistic? i just want ot hear them
all the characters I mentioned or just gorgug? Iā€™m gonna do all of them bc I like to talk. (Prefacing this with the fact that I am autistic and this is based on my personal experiences)
riz has always read as autistic to me ever since the beginning I always come back to ā€œI donā€™t have a lot of friends which is weird because Iā€™m very socialā€ which is a line from his character introduction but like the fact that he really doesnā€™t seem to understand a lot of the social conventions around him and heā€™s always been labeled as like ā€œstrangeā€ for his ā€œweird behaviorsā€. Things like being a teenager who wears a suit and carries a briefcase and doesnā€™t really consider the fact that people might judge him for it. Also as the seasons progress, partly from him being aroace, but for other stuff too I think itā€™s clear that riz feels like and outsider still and feels kinda fundamentally different from the people around him. Also he has very restricted interests in mystery and has little regard for acting ā€œsocially correctā€ and I think abt the line when they meet ayda for the first time and he says something like ā€œI agree that it would be a whole lot easier if people just told you when your were friends instead of making you have to guessā€. Riz gukgak i know what you are
Mary Ann as well to me is soooooo me coded itā€™s crazy. She barely talks to anybody and makes absolutely no effort to be socially ā€œcorrectā€ and is so matter-of-fact. Furthermore Brennan describes her as still dressing like a freshman and stuff like that which very much speaks to my experiences of literally wearing the same (unfashionable) clothes every day since freshman year because they are the only things I can physically stand to wear. Also her openly being really into plushies and stuff like that and displaying them whether or not itā€™s cool or people judge her, very me with my dnd pins on my backpack
gorgug is a lot less direct evidence but like I truly believe it so strongly in my soul. I also think he carries a lot of awkwardness and fear, especially in freshman year, regarding how heā€™s supposed to behave socially and while he knows heā€™s doing something wrong he doesnā€™t know what would be right. He seeks so much guidance from his parents and from when he looks for the friendship section in compass points that idk the unsureness in those types of situations really resonates with me.
the crux of the matter, truly tho, is that Iā€™m autistic and I like hitting characters I like with the autism beam bc itā€™s fun for me
