When the test subject they told you was aggressive is actually just angsty and autistic

.

I figured if Wheatley were a human he would probably be part of a team that cares for test subjects. Which involves basic medical checkups and general wellness checks. Maybe in Chells case, since she’s so anti-social, he was tasked to be a sort of companion so they could get more information out of her for testing purposes. :3 he’s classified as a nurse and has basic training in it. But he’s not making sense because he’s kinda scared of Chell at first. She just thinks he’s weird and kinda smells bad.

.

I have a hc on why Chell is a test subject I’m just gonna try to write it here

Basically her mother was too young and poor to raise a child so she felt it better to put Chell up for adoption. The orphanage she was raised in was being used by aperture to scout out children with certain “exceptional skills”. They noticed that Chell was highly intelligent and a great problem solver, but had no interest in spending time with others. She had no friends. And none of the other children noticed or cared when she left. She was probably adopted by a high ranking scientist and raised for the specific purpose of testing. She has little concept of social norms or things outside of aperture because she was taken from a “normal” environment so young. [like. Before she was 10 maybe? Idk.] but it doesn’t mean she’s dumb or anything, she just doesn’t really get it yk. Sorry if this is actually so stupid and embarrassing ignore me

my dumbass is combining interests again

As an adhd person I just want to say that I love every autistic person on this website.

You guys are literally the best fandom archivers out there. I’m so serious.

If you are new in just about any fandom search for the one autistic person whose special interest your newfound fandom is and it’ll be like you just met god at a nightclub.

You guys are too powerful and I thank you for your service from the bottom of my heart.

FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT YOU ARE NOT TOO MUCH!

If anyone tells you, that you are too much: They are wrong. You are NOT too much. Really.

Some people might not appreciate your vibe.

Some people might feel weirded out by your actions.

Some people might feel overwhelmed when around you.

Some people might not understand you

These people are valid in their feelings.

BUT! That does not make you too much. Not at all.

Don't be less for anyone!

do you still dislike spam-reblogs? i want to reblog all your art but i don't want to annoy you. how much should i spread it out?

I’ve given up ive just started manually checking my inbox and recent posts for asks and replies so i don’t miss them. Its too much to ask of tumblr to implement Stacked Notifications like a normal modern app….. just do what you must……

Autistic person with lots of charisma and almost seems allistic but sometimes does something pretty autistic like rant, info dump or stim and then you discover that person only seems neurotypical because they copy their blorbos from the internet all the time and got their charisma from them

I swear I have read your big post regarding Peter Parker's neurodivergence and why it is best to avoid labelling him, but he definitely has a weird brain

Can't find it and feel kinda sad about it cuz I deeply related to it

i know exactly which post you're talking about and i can't find it either! i've raked through my archive, and it's just - nowhere to be seen. i think tumblr eated it (it happens.)

really, tumblr's search functionality is so so useless, i don't know what to tell you. there are plenty of keywords i can search to find it that post, but the search functionality actually just does not work!

undiagnosed audhd-addled peter parker, my darling, my light, my life, my everything.

i think peter parker's such an interesting creature to write, because a lot of people will point to a certain behaviour about him and say "this is an autistic thing, right?" but a lot of those behaviours are actually, in my head, tied to certain traumas in peter's life too.

people say "oh, the food thing, peter's a picky eater because he's autistic" and yes, absolutely. but also it's tied to his trauma with his parents.

peter gets overstimulated, and yes, it's an autism thing, but also he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his senses are dialled to 11.

it's a similar case i've found for myself, too – where a lot of friends i have kind of diagnose me because i have autistic traits, but actually - i'm hesitant to claim the label or pursue diagnosis because, actually, i know where these certain behaviours come from, and they come from certain traumas. there are events i can pinpoint in my life and say "yep. that's where this behaviour comes from."

so - i think there's a lot of overlap between trauma and autistic traits. the brain is very complex! i think the reason for that overlap is maybe as simple as the fact that people with autism and people with trauma are both doing the same thing - developing behaviours to protect themselves or soothe themselves. so - i think it's nice to be able to see a character like peter parker, who may or may not be autistic, but recognise behaviours in him and see yourself in him.

people who go undiagnosed for whatever reason - people who are really good at masking - so good, in fact, that they have no idea they might be on the spectrum - everyone and anyone at all can look at peter parker and recognise themselves. because i think we discredit the thought that every single brain does the same thing! develops certain behaviours in order to survive. every brain has that same software - we've just all been faced with different hardships that we need to overcome, and that's were all the differences come in.

autism is a spectrum, i guess - everyone falls into it to some degree. and i think events in your life probably push you along on it. but i don't know, i didn't study brain science. probably what i'm saying is very stupid and uninformed. of course there's brain chemistry involved. but i know people in my life living with autism and certain events in their life have exacerbated certain behaviours or made coping with it a lot more difficult. so maybe trauma is a catalyst.

When the hyperfixation gets so strong it starts making you physically ill 🥰

I diagnose her with tism.

will do nontism pink icons too. wanted to add the infinity symbol somewhere but uh… I couldn’t get it to look fine so w/e.

[ouroboroscully]

being autistic is only having the spoons to try to make friends mmmm once every 5 years or so and then rinsing and repeating until you die

[swordsonnet]

sorry but saying that the accessibility needs of mentally disabled people are just preferences or about "comfort" is blatantly incorrect. if i can't enter a building because the bright lights and loud noises would send me into a meltdown, then i can't enter the building, and that's not less important than me not being able to enter a building because it's not wheelchair accessible. if you genuinely think that mentally disabled people aren't really struggling, and that it's okay to mock their very real concerns, then that just shows that you've been refusing to listen to their experiences. do better or shut the fuck up.

is there a comprehensive list somewhere of all the serious injuries kiryu has ever gotten because man am i curious. i want to know the Full Scope of how fucked up this man’s body must be

[minimechacowboy]

i think you have the monopoly on strange kiyotakas more than anybody else. he is so weird. nobody gets it.

Why thank you! 😋

But I've only scratched the surface on my weird Taka iceberg, truly if I went deeper I would become an outcast.

… But since we’re here my favourite thing to dig deep into is how he actually speaks in game cuz… it’s so weird?????

There’s dialogue where he speaks super formal and then he randomly switches to really informal and uses slang words and idioms a lot and it’s really funny cuz instead of saying something like “it’s raining really heavy outside right now!” he’d actually say something like “Wow, sure is raining cats and dogs!” And he says stuff like that A LOT and no one ever brings that up.

Idk if I’m just crazy and digging to deep into it but viewing Kiyotaka at face value as just an annoying rule follower and teachers pet and then seeing all these random phrases he says is really interesting. My guy loves his idioms and metaphors!

And this!! WHAT THE HELL IS HE YAPPING ON ABOUT

Anyways I’m here all night thank you.

2 weeks at uni and I’ve already reached peak procrastination. I found masking tape and somehow decided that the best use of my time was to make a tiny Belphemon-sleep.
