I was gonna post about the fandoms least favorite things Tim does but these really are just neurodivergent symptoms huh?

lacks tact

Stand offish

obsessive

not good at understanding unsaid boundaries

his violent intrusive thoughts

hallucinations

my dude is so not neurotypical

.... Is he supposed to be neurotypical?

My dude legit became Robin by:

Hoarding information about The Flying Graysons

Obsessively learning all about Dick (to the point of stalking)

Inserting himself into a problem when no one else asked or wanted him to

Also... I thought we as a fandom loved his hallucinations?

Regardless, I personally find the listed behaviors of Tim to be parts of him that aren't "bad" qualities. The stand offish and lacks tact can be endearing. Not necessarily bad.

The "doesn't understand unspoken boundaries" seems to be more a communication problem between him and others. Then again, the Bats aren't known for their healthy communication skills.

The violent intrusive thoughts and hallucinations are neutral. They suck for Tim, but I don't dislike him because of them. Def not a neurotypical quality.

Nah. I think the fandom dislikes early Tim's misogyny (in particular to Steph). That I can understand.

Bottom line, Tim probably isn't neurotypical which correlates with some of his interpersonal issues. If he and others understood that (like with a diagnosis), they could all work on their issues to reach a mutual understanding and increase their ability to communicate.
