AuDHD traits Dirk Gently Displays - S1E4: Watkin

Hello friends!! It's been a WHILE but I'm back with this series - You may follow the google docs file I'm writing everything down in, also! If you haven't yet, links to the first three episodes:

S1E1 - Horizons / S1E2 - Lost and Found / S1E3 - Rogue Wall Enthusiasts

Click read more to read the analysis of the fourth episode! Tagging: @clockworkcheetah @urlocallesbiab @generalized-incompetence @amber-angel @goatygoat @frenchfriedgiraffe

 > When Todd catches up with him and Farah, he schools his expressions from excited to have seen him to bored/uninterested, both to show that he isn’t THAT excited he’s there - he seems to think having a bigger reaction to things he likes may cause unwanted reactions from those around him, so he constantly tones himself down

> When they get to the powerhouse, he’s SOOO excited about climbing the fence - I headcanon Dirk as a mix of sensory avoidant and sensory seeking, and his impulsivity is also very relatable

> “Push my bum!! Make me go up!!!” - I might die of second hand embarrassment everytime I watch this scene, but it’s so relatable! I, too, say things without noticing it might have double meaning and it doesn’t dawn on me until hours or years later

> When he isn’t able to climb up and then sees Farah just. Break the locks. It’s SO funny how he hadn’t even considered trying the more obvious steps first before just throwing himself onto the chain link fence, I love him!! Yes impulsive with no common sense king!!!

> As soon as they’re in he just grabs the map from Todd’s hand without even glancing at him - impulsivity but also hyperfocus on the task overriding the conscious effort to show courtesy by asking for things before taking them

> After he falls inside the maze, he tells Todd “Which was unsafe to do unsupervised, now that I think about it” - hard time thinking things through before doing it because, again, the hyperfocus ends up overriding common sense

> “Where are we?” / “Underground!” - WELL YES. Literal thinking icon

> Todd calls out to him, “Hey! Don’t wander off!” - elopping, we tend to wander off without noticing or letting others know, or stay behind because we stopped to look at something, often also involves not noticing danger

> “I think the message is… you’re going to die” - no filter, absolutely first thing that comes to mind is already halfway out his mouth, ADHD ambassador

> “You can’t just walk in blindly? You’re saying that to ME?” - Same trait as before, elopping all the way

> Todd goes, “When shit hits the fan, you fall apart!” - EXTREMELY common for us to not see the consequences or effects coming up until we have to deal with it, especially in situations we’ve never been through before, which is a constant

> *smiling * “...I hope you’re not smiling” DEEP frown - my beautiful son who has cartoonish expressions and can’t hide his emotions very well, we are one and the same

> In the strip down scene we see he wears a white undershirt, which could be providing deep pressure which is great for sensory seeking autistic people!! Also goes in hand with me headcanoning him as trans, double up tight shirt as a binder AND sensory stim

>  “Hope you’re not claustrophobic” / “No, I don’t even like coffee” - two things: he has audio processing issues and misunderstood what was said, AND he responded based on what he understood even if it didn’t make sense for the context of the situation at hand

Starting new projects all the time without finishing previous ones first. I can relate to Netflix. I don't like it.

[is-your-blorbo-neurodivergent]

submit your own characters here to be featured!

reason: He's impulsive and often goes running around based on a gut feeling and also I just have A Feeling

[kat-katharsis]

I've currently got five seperate hyperfixations, I am at severe brain rot levels and I have so much homework I should be doing this is an inopportune time.

[taxihome]

for all my sins I’m back on tumblr. I’ve made a post like this a couple times in the last few years and then not actually started using tumblr again, but I really want to now. I feel like I need a soft space where I can consume all my hyperfixations. so erm. hi? I’ve had a LOT of hyperfixations (I got diagnosed with ADHD last year, my brain makes so much more sense now) over the years, but I guess my current/current-ish/long standing loves are like, fall out boy, peterick, steddie, heartstopper/nick and charlie, dan and phil, book of mormon/mcpriceley, hannibal/hannigram, dirk gently, lotr/frodo and sam... ok shit there’s a lot more but I’ll end up writing an essay. I also love colourful clothes, dungarees, cool/bring makeup, food and drink, psychology, gay stuff. so yeah hello and I guess gimme a follow/stick around if you like any of that?

#at this point Todd just rolls his eyes and Dirk has never minded

canon: dirk buys him and todd one of those magnetic best friend necklaces that join together and every so often he’ll walk up to him and just, click

[adhdvsautismbracket]

just wanted to let you know that if i didn't realize too late i would have submitted mirabel and bruno. mirabel is so adhd coded with her 500 different hobbies, none of which she excels at (same) and her RSD (same) and her colorful imagination/view of the world shown thru musical numbers

and i firmly believe bruno's autistic on account of the isolation and rejection from his family (same) and the struggle with inappropriate comments ("it looks like rain" to a woman who makes it rain when she's upset. on her wedding day.) and the unhealthy attachment to the family that doesn't want him (same)

There's so many duos that I would have liked to highlight through this bracket, but just didn't get enough nominations to justify putting them in 😭

Mirabel and Bruno are definitely on my list of honourable mentions along with Miko and Five from Glitch Techs. And every character from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Encanto is such an awesome movie for SO many reasons, and one of those reasons is definitely how it captures that feeling of wanting to be 'useful' to be accepted by your family unit. The movie ever!!!

You can call me Ina (ee-na) (she/they)! I'm a queer, neurodivergent (ADHD), Thai-American artist from Alaska. Outside of Tumblr, I'm either working on art projects, doing conservation work, or attending local community events.

You'll primarily find random text posts, gifsets, graphics, and fanart here. I used to be more involved in the graphics community, but gosh you folks are so dang talented! I'm inspired and I'm ready to start creating again.

Lastly, don't be afraid to say hi or ask fun questions. I miss the community that I had here, so let's make a new one!

Let's get into it now shall we?

AuDHD traits Dirk Gently Displays - S1E5: Very Erectus

- You may follow the google docs file I'm writing everything down in, also! If you haven't read them yet, links to the first four episodes:

S1E1 - Horizons / S1E2 - Lost and Found / S1E3 - Rogue Wall Enthusiasts / S1E4 - Watkin

Click read more to read the analysis of the fifth episode! Tagging: @clockworkcheetah @urlocallesbiab @generalized-incompetence @amber-angel @goatygoat @frenchfriedgiraffe

> In the scene in the dinner, after they start driving to go look for the 'treasure' based on the map, Todd starts insisting that Dirk has a power and he immediately deflects and shuts down, avoiding eye contact completely, looking around. > The second Todd says "It's you. It's something about you", he goes "I'm not psychic, drop it." - of course this enters the parallel of the whole show being about the holistics having their ties to the universe in different ways, but I've had moments where people know I'm autistic and they start insisting on either me being actually "normal" and it being a superpower, trying to single me or sus me out, and I react similarly to Dirk in this scene > "No!! We are having this conversation", discomfort, "Here, let's do an experiment" EXTREME discomfort - sometimes you're just existing and people want a) an explanation of your whole life and b) for you to prove to be what you say you are > "Look, I can't explain it, ok? I learned a long time ago things don't always make sense the way people want them to" - AuDhd to its barest components– > "You're going to have to accept that too. To. Too. To. Too? Two?" - very common to lose a bit of sense of words both in autism (overwhelmed) and plus ADHD having the common comorbidity of dyslexia 

> Trading the Corvette for the beat down jeep, and when Todd goes "???" he says "It's just a rental!" - he makes decisions and when people express concern assumes it's based on something else, even if it doesn't make sense. So he just says it. I usually know for a fact I won't figure out what they're ACTUALLY judging me for - general inaptitude to read between the lines or figure out social situations 

> Martin tells Amanda, about Dirk, "He's got gourmet panic!" - he just like us, he just like us fr 

> "Don't start with the zen master thing, ok? It worked out a lot better before I figured out you were a mess, too" - people tend to assume we're more put together than they are because we showcase emotions differently 

> When Todd says he's gonna give up on digging, he just goes "Wouldn't this be just one more thing you walked away from, though" - not the sincerautistic murder-- Sometimes I also blurt out things and accidentally read people to filth without fully realizing. 

> He puts clues together and recognizes patterns then blurts it out, classic AuDHD style

 > "(...) I think life is like that too, just an endless series of room with puzzles and eventually one of them kills you" / "That's dark and depressing" - my fellow AuDHD ambassador just drops bombs and doesn't even realize 

> "What is it?" / "A thing" - stating the obvious shouldn't be as funny as it is but it never gets old 

> "You brought the cat?" / "Of course I did" - just. Very cute honestly but also, I too make decisions without fully realizing what it would entail, like bringing a kitten around with you while digging shit up 

> Todd starts venting to him and he's like. Confused - but yet again he tries his very best to support him, saying "When I look behind me, I can't see ahead of me" / "Are you saying dwelling on my past is holding me back?" / "No. I mean I literally can't see what's back there when I'm looking forward" - general literal thinking

> "You know what I was thinking about? When I was staring down at the barrel of that gun?" "...bullets?" - literal thinking part 321 electric boogaloo

> “Everything is connected. But only I can see it… I’m not.. Psychic. But I am something” yeah. Autistic-

> “The hunches don’t help me, ever” - we tend to figure stuff out based on our general understanding of them, trying to consciously clock things others don’t have to think twice about, but the same is true in reverse, where things that may seem impossible for neurotypicals to figure out, we see immediately. Although we may know these things, we’re usually not taken seriously enough or don’t have the bandwidth to actually prevent some things from happening to us or around us.

> “I don’t have any friends, I am always surrounded by bizarre and frightening states of disaster, and I am always alone” - sad part hours, but it’s unfortunately true: we’re always overwhelmed, surrounded by input we can’t filter out, and it is extremely hard to make and maintain friends. But Dirk has found his people and so will all of us, eventually!!

> When Todd says “And Dirk? I am your friend.” - immediate hope, bright red eyes, furrowed eyebrows, then IMMEDIATELY he schools his expression out to nonchalant, so yet again his big reactions don’t push people around him away (both true for Dirk and in our general experience, having had to tone yourself down your whole life does NUMBERS on you)

Was that [OSRIC CHAU]? Oh no no, that was just [JACOB VOGEL], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [DIRK GENTLY'S HOLISTIC DETECTIVE AGENCY]. They are [TWENTY-NINE] years old, use [HE/THEY], and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

How long has your character been here Vogel has been here for a few days, close to a week

What is your character’s job They are a delinquent right now; Maybe a guitarist or rock singer.

Where has your character been pulled from in their fandom End of season 2

Has any magic affected your character It didn't affect them a lot. Just brought Vogel to D.C and away from his Rowdy family.

And any other information you might find useful for us and the other members to know!! Wiki Here Wiki 2 HereBirthday: Unknown Siblings: None Zodiac: Unknown Species: Human (psychic/energy vampire) Eye Color: Dark Brown Hair Color: Dark Brown/Black Scars: various ones Personality: manic, loyal, childish, rowdy, loud, chaotic, destructive Romantic Orientation: unsure Sexual Orientation: asexual

Headcanons ! Vogel is dyslexic; Words and sentences get mixed and matched and messed up in his head even before he was taken by Project Blackwing. Vogel was taken by Project Blackwing at 5 years old so they didn't have a formal education to begin with so he had to learn a lot of things from the others and even then he still doesn't know and is constantly learning. Probably has ADHD but is undiagnosed since the main focus of Project Blackwing was to experiment and test them. He doesn't remember much of his family; To them, the Rowdy 3, all 5 of them, are his family and that's all that matters Suffers nightmares from their time separated from the others and from Mr. Priest but refuses to mention it to others because they aren't their family

I am open to plots so please don’t hesitate to message me for plots and to know about his past!
