autistic jace thoughts go

Hiiii Kodie!! AHHHH YES! I’ve been rattling that man around my head long enough to have some specific Thots™️ Let’s GO 👏👏👏

- Jace is such a creature of habit. He will sit in the same exact spot in the break room & during staff meetings. He will pack the same lunch until he gets tired of it, he likes when Porter parks in the same spot when they carpool together.

- There are times where everything food wise gives him the ick, he’ll just skip lunch and have like 7 various drinks near him at all times throughout the day.

- His favorite stim toy is the ono roller (also my favorite good god I’m in love with that bad boy.) something about how smooth it is really does it for him. If he’s at the white board he’ll have his wand in one hand and his roller in the other. He went through so many stim toys before so he has a desk drawer full of ones that weren’t right for him. He gives them out to students if they want’em

- Can’t sit down for too long. Mr man has to pace. His freshman are definitely freaked out by him just strolling between desks but but his upperclassmen are used to it.

- He needs the lights dimmed 90% of the time. Wayyy too overstimulating. He’s meticulously lit his home so specifically and then splurged on a dimmer switch for the bedroom. Wishes he could dim his tv like he can the rest of his arcanotech (crystal, laptop, etc) shits too fuckin bright.

- will steal Porter’s iPad to binge his shows so he won’t get so overwhelmed.

- For the most part he’s okay with sounds by way of working in a school of loud rowdy kids. But on rougher days that shit is grating. He keeps a good pair of noise canceling headphones on hand for emergencies.

- Cannot do sounds of people eating. He slinks into the breakroom at work to eat when it’s mostly empty.

- Porter is a loud man and he loves him for it but sometimes it’s a bit much. He will just up and leave a room if Porter is existing a bit too loud.

- In the beginning he’d shoot off a quick text to say he needed a moment but now they have a little hand signal that Jace will do when he needs a moment of complete silence.

- So many click-y mouth noises. He can’t stop and you cannot make him. He tries to reign it in a bit when he’s around a ton of people though.

- When he’s excited sooo many ear wiggles

- Bites on his wand- like the back end of it. It has so many teeth marks but hey if he can still cast with it who cares. The texture is nice 💖

- Loves doing things with his hands & this crosses over so well with a lot of his interests. I feel like he has a lot related to crafting of some sort. Maybe knitting or item restoration (clothes or toys.) Likes tiny and meticulous things ALOT.

- Veeeery particular about how he organizes his supplies too. His craft room is locked tight now bc if he walks in and anything is out of place his brain will break and unfortunately someone will have to die 💖

- The one and only time he ever raised his voice at Zara was when she borrowed super glue from his craft room so she could do her nails. He loves his partners to death but he has banned Zara and Porter from going in there without his permission. He doesn’t budge on that.

- He loves fashion HOWEVER there are pieces in his wardrobe that he will not wear bc the feeling against his skin is atrocious. Loves admiring them tho.

- He’s very charismatic but good god is it like pulling teeth in convos with people he couldn’t give less of a shit about. It just feels like work. There are a few teachers at Aguefort that met him on a day that he just couldn’t be bothered to mask and think he’s just an asshole.

- So blunt sometimes it hurts. Porter is the same and so is Zara. Most of his time is spent with one or both of them so when he hangs out with other people and they give him a look after he says something he’s just like “🤨?”

- Good god don’t beat around the bush with him. If you don’t tell him something directly he just 🤷🏼‍♂️ if he doesn’t need to think about something extra, HE WONT.

- Will make Porter and Zara leave the room if they argue talk over the tv. If he’s too overwhelmed he’ll teleport to his room to finish his show alone. But also will yap over the tv if he’s uninterested in what’s on.

- He blames this mostly on being a mage but he thinks bugs are really cool looking! He’s not big on spell books, instead he has books on insects. He doesn’t like killing them and if he sees one framed and hung up on a wall he gets very sad about it. Aguefort has a few in his office so he tries to avoid being in there as much as possible. His favorite are moths and beetles tho 💖

- Saw Porter eat a bug once and went nonverbal

(This came out longer than I thought it would 🫣)

hi!! i just read ur autistic jace chapter in 'got it bad' and i want to say its my favorite of all time !!!! jace n mary ann having a close relationship or mutual understanding bc of their autism is something i needed so baddd, and also showing how their autism differs (flat voice/hyperemotional voice) is actually so important to me as a hyperemotional autistic person !!! i felt so seen !!!!!!

i also want to talk abt how i feel mayb jace has communication cards when he goes non-verbal or overwhelmed? mayb after that meltdown, mary ann tells him about it since she also has one and she helps him make a small one for his keychain. mayb porter also has a copy attached along w the keys to his truck, in case jace doesnt have his on hand :)

oughhh tysm!! i loved writing them together and showing the differences and similarities in how their autism presents <3 mary ann ily so bad.

i almost included communication cards! but then i thought about that post that was like "he would not fucking say that except it's characters who have never gone to therapy in their lives talking in therapy terms" and i got scared LOL. i think that jace doesn't even think about it because he's like i always have my phone on me and it's always charged. i'll just text or use the notes app. but then his meltdown at school happens and he doesn't have his phone and he's glad that mary ann let him use hers, but what if that doesn't happen again? what if he's stuck somewhere where nobody will let him borrow their phones and none of them understand what he wants or why he won't (can't) talk? and that freaks him out a little and yeah i think it would be sweet for mary ann to be like jace. you should use these. they help me, jace.

and jace does at least always have his keys on him, so they make little ones that are like. store card tag size ykwim? so it doesn't get too bulky. i don't know if porter would have an extra set on his keys if only because if he has to drive jace home and he doesn't have his cards or phone or if even typing is too hard, he doesn't want jace to be without a voice, but i do think he has a copy either in his truck or his desk or something. jace doesn't even know he has them until he forgets his own one day and starts freaking out even more and porter gives him his set and shrugs and tells him, "mary ann threatened me."

i also think that maverick's vest has a couple of patches on it with super basic answers. yes, no, maybe, i don't know. porter uses them if he's starting to dissociate or has a flashback that makes it hard for him to speak, but if mav's around when jace has a meltdown, he gets two weighted blankets and two sets of comm cards :)

Weed really would fix Porter it so would. The only downside is that he only wants to do it with Jace and who’s like “I’m busy smoke on your own you’ll be fine.” And Porter does right, but he will not let Jace focus bc Porter is already a yapper and when he’s high it’s worse.

Jace is getting Porter’s fully autistic+high hyperfixation thoughts rapid fire from where he’s curled up under Jace’s standing desk. Eventually he does manage to get Jace under there with him and in his lap. Jace gives in bc he wasn’t gonna get anything done and Porter somehow ended up on the subject of his favorite movies and Porter talking film is one of his favorite pass-times.

Jace also loves that because Port is formerly straight edge his tolerance is crazy low. He cuts Porter off sometimes when they smoke together bc he gets cocky thinking he can match Jace’s tolerance. Jace only has to say, “Baby, that’s not how it works.” And press a little kissy to his lips for him to stop trying to steal the blunt.

Also, fuck it, Porter likes watching Jace prep things. Seeing him seal the paper or blunt with his tongue turns him on. After a hit or two he’s begging Jace to eat his ass. 🫣
