Everything is a spectrum until it isn't.
I've met other autistics who are downright adamant autism is not and should never be considered a disability and if you have autism you aren't disabled... which completely ignores all the people who are disabled because of it, sometimes debilitatingly so.
To say nothing about how, for some, it being considered a disability is the only way they can get on disability support when they're otherwise physically fine but can't work in the current job market.
Tumblr: Only neurotypical people do X. Neurodivergent people never do X. It's literally never necessary to do X, and if you do, you are by definition acting out of malice.
Neurodivergent person whose neurodivergence primarily expresses itself as X:
#and don't get me started on the 'everyone stims and you shouldn't complain about it' thing#as someone who doesn't stim and can get triggered by others doing it (depending on how they do it)#also 'everyone with adhd is always late' when myself and other adhders are determined to be on time or early#it's like people forget that co-morbidities and personal experiences and personalities also affect things#in favour of a blanket statement to put everyone with x into a box#if you disagree but don't have x you aren't allowed to disagree with someone who does so are wrong by default#and if you have x you must be faking or have something else going on because how dare you say not everyone with x fits neatly in the box#just because you're nd doesn't mean you get to be the gatekeeper and arbitrator on who qualifies as nd#also... it's usually (white) american-centric and god forbid you point out other countries do things differently#or that someone who isn't white and/or a man may present differently because of social pressures#pressures that may include the forced confinement or state-sanctioned killing of anyone who can't mask#fuck your box different people are different and if you can't even put a 'generally' or some other qualifier word in there#you're throwing countless people under the bus to act as the gatekeeper you despise and shutting down all nuance#and effectively telling people who aren't x or don't do y that they're faking it and 'not really nd'

Pairing: Kirishima Eijiro x Fem!Reader
Genre: Angst To Fluff
Form: Oneshot. Songfic
AU: Hanahaki disease.
A/N: I had to edit this so hard for me to like it at all 😠I hope you all enjoy.
Thank you.
You laid down, sprawled out on your bed with flower petals surrounding you. You think they're petals from a rose but they could just be stained in blood. You honestly didn't really understand how your condition worked, even though the extensive research you did and the consults with doctors. What you did know is that you're grateful that you haven't started coughing up blood, which is a side effect of progressed Hanahaki; AKA you're conditon/disease. It was obvious you had bigger and better things to worry about than Kirishima (the cause of the suffocating disease) but the petals were a constant reminder of him. You wonder if he thinks about you at least a tenth of how much you think about him.
The only people who know about your... Condition, is Jiro and Mina, your two best friends. Jiro is there to comfort you, though she can't quite understand why you would go through so much pain just to hold feelings for someone, Mina's there to try to make Jiro understand the importance of love and to make you happier about the situation. You couldn't ask for better friends, honestly.
The lump in your throat starts to form and come up and you take a deep breath and let the cough come, sitting upright, expelling the flowers. After the coughing fit is done you're left panting but there was something that didn't have the petals just fall out of your hand. You look at your hand that you coughed into.
Blood. It was laced on the flower making it oddly stick to you're hand.
You quickly went to the bathroom to flush the petals you just coughed up and wash the remainder of blood off your hands before rushing back to your room to call your two support units. You fumble with your phone before you manage to start a group call.
One ring, Mina is in.
"Hey, what's up?!" She asked in a cheery tone
"One second..." You hoarsely respond, waiting for Jiro.
3 rings, Jiro picks up.
"Sorry, couldn't hear my phone over my music, what's up you guys?" Jiro says in her usually monotone voice.
"I... I coughed up blood, guys," You confess to them.
"Y/N..." Jiro sighed, you could practically hear the head shaking and facepalming.
"It's time to confess, hun. And if he doesn't reciprocate it you can go get the procedure," Mina said in a fairly sassy tone, referencing the procedure I could take to make sure I would never cough up flowers again but that would iradicate my feelings for Kirishima.
"Yeah, I know. I'm not a blinded by love idiot," You respond, matter of factly.
"Thank god.." Jiro scoffed and you and Mina chuckled.
"So how am gonna ask him out?" You ask your polar opposite best friends.
Timeskip
You see Kirishima and Bakugo argue over... Something, at Bakugo's desk that was on the other side of the classroom than yours. You watch the clock tick for a few seconds before you start writing your note.
'Meet me at the auditorium,
                       -Vines'
That was his nickname for you, vines. It referenced your quirk called the same thing. Oh the irony that you can sprout vines from your palms and control plants then you get a disease to cough up flowers.. The doctor who you went to to consult when you first starting coughing up the petals actually said that your quirk had the possibility to make the condition worst.
The bell rang and Bakugo and Eijiro continued arguing. You quickly left class and slipped the note into his prior to hurrying to the Auditorium.
Once you got there you found Mina adjusting her stool for the drums (Bakugo taught her how to play them) and Jiro tuning her bass. They both faked illness at some point of class to go set up the stage.
"Hey there, lover girl," Jiro said into the mic as you threw your backpack into some random chairs on the back row.
"Aren't you supposed to say check one two?" You snarkily replied. Once you got on stage you adjusted the height of your mic stand so that the mic was at your mouth.
The plan was great. You're gonna sing a cool love song that was playing in your earbuds when you first met Kirishima. You hope to god he doesn't have the memory of a goldfish and remembers the fact, especially after already telling him multiple times prior to conceiving the idea to sing to him. It was your favorite song because of that reason..
Two plants were on both sides of the door, you focus your quirk to move the plant vases to the middle of the main aisle, curling the branches into an intricate design that ultimately formed a heart.
"Pretty~" Mina spoke up in awe, staring at it. It was somewhat rare for you to use your quirk for something other than combat and it can be forgotten you can do cool, small things like this.
The door starts to creek open as Jiro and Mina start playing the beginning instrumentals. You start to sing the beginning verse as Eijiro fully comes into the auditorium, already awe struck.
Eijiro Kirishima's POV
"All I wanted was you," Y/N strong yet smooth voice sings, bouncing off the auditorium walls. I've get to hear her sing on rare occassions and I don't think I love anything more, well except for Y/N herself but unlike her singing I have to keep that love to myself...
I take a few steps further down the isle as an instrumental sounds off. Her quirk is so cool to add this beautiful and manly arbor, I doubt anything like this could be bought at a store.
I try to focus solely on her voice, but the thought keeps ringing in the back of my head onto why am I the only one watching? I know this song held significance us, but this seems so sudden. I am a man for spontaneity yet something like this seems random nonetheless. I should just focus on her singing.
Your POV
The ball starts to form in your throat towards the end of the song, you try to surpress it but your voice cracks just slightly, which is so embarrassing.. Which makes you focus on how stupid you're probably looking out of embarrassment which leads to you not focusing on the flowers which make them launch out in coughs. You pull the microphone away as weakening coughs expell the roses. After your coughing fit theres a bed of rose petals, each one dotted with at least a little blood.
A pair of strong arms make you stand up straight before entrapping you.
"You have Hanahaki?" Kirishima questioms softly, barely above a whisper. Apparently he's heard of the disease. Didn't he do a very botched project on it once..?
"Mhm..." You confirm. He nuzzles his forhead into the crook of your neck as you hug him tighter.
"Because of me?" He questions again, sounding guilty, it took a second to process that if it was him, it meant that you reciprocated his feelings. The question was fueled by his instant assumption to blame himself.
"Mhm..." You respond, a bit to anxious to respond in full words, let alone full sentences.
"I'm so sorry.. I had no idea.. Y/N," He says, drawing away and looking into your eyes, hands moving to either side of your face. "Y/N.. I love you so much, I'm so sorry I didn't show you sooner.. I never meant to hurt you!"
How unmanly was the only word that Kirishima could think of to describe his cowardice to tell you how he feels, only to see that it left you with a painful disease. The supporting grip on your waist tightened, and the man in front of you looked like he was about to shatter into a thousand pieces.
"Its okay! There was no way you could've known!"
"But-"
"It isn't you're fault, please don't blame yourself.." You empathetically started to mirror Kirishima's feeling of guilt and sadness and your smile slowly turned into a dejected one.
Strong arms wrapped completely around you in a tight hug, causing you both to wobble a bit.
"I'm so sorry.. Uh, d-don't I need to kiss you? To get rid of the.. The flowers, I mean," A warm tint that complemented his hair flushed across his cheeks as he thought back to his botched project on Hanahaki. Requited feelings was enough to keep the disease at bay.
"Not if you don't want to, Kiri," You smiled warming at the flustered teen in front of until a rough collision of lips against yours. It was filled with anxiety and awkwardness from the redheads behalf with this being the first time kissing anyone, let alone someone who he loved as much as you.
"Woo!!" Jirou catcalled, exiting the auditorium with a playful smile
"Yaaaasssss!!!" Mina cheered.
They were already gone by the time you both had pulled away from the kiss, leaving you both at a complete and utter loss for words.
You relished in the feeling of breaths unclogged with suffocating flowers, the feeling on Kirishima's soft, lingering hold across your waist that he didn't even know was there. There are no words in the english dialect to describe this moment of blissful clarity. It was hard for you to even come up with words to say.
So many feelings to express, but all that came out was a soft, grateful, "Thank you."
