#autistic alvin olinsky

I can't believe I've never made a post about my favorite Alvin Olinsky headcanon before. Smh. Well here it is.

Autistic Alvin Olinsky. I'm not sure exactly when this headcanon came to mind (probably around the time I started the process of getting my own autism diagnosis, lol) but it's my favorite one now.

I just searched through months of messages with one of my friends, to find this short list I made of canon autistic traits I've seen in Al while watching PD because I'm too lazy to remake it:

• Quietness/lack of talking

• Repetitive movements seen as pacing or picking his nails (example 2x11 and 3x22)

• Trouble with eye contact (example 3x13) one I saw a lot

• Social awkwardness

Traits that are more headcanon/inferred:

• Trouble making friends. Through the course of the series we see only one person Al was friends with outside of the job (or people that regularly go to Molly's) and we can assume from that that friends probably didn't come that easy for him. Especially considering how far Al would go to defend/save the friends he did have (cough cough Hank cough cough)

• Trouble understanding body language/boundaries. That scene from 1x3 (I'm pretty sure it was) as an example, when Al went to the shopkeeper he knew to intimidate him. The way Al walks in touching everything, than patting the guy on the cheek despite the shopkeeper clearly being uncomfortable? That only him moving away clued Al onto him being uncomfortable? Everytime I watch my headcanon is solidified more and more. That's an autistic man right there.

• Intense interests. Al's special interest being horror, specifically horror movies, is something you can pry from my cold dead hands.

Obviously people change throughout the years and Al is on the show for 5 years, and I definitely see more autistic traits and stuff in season 1 Al. Being autistic is one thing but I know it'd be much harder as a cop. I can see Al masking for years and his traits being more prominent in season 1 (his first year in Intelligence. Or at least the first year Hank was running Intelligence) because he already knew and trusted Hank.

So his guard was down at first and he was more of his true self. Than the walls came back up again and Al began masking again.

Just a headcanon obviously, but it's my favorite and I was surprised I hadn't shared it properly yet.

Not a lot, just forever (Al/Hank fanfic)

Summary: Hank didn't know just how much Al liked the horror genre until they moved in together.

“Al? Can I ask if these are all DVDs?” Hank asked one afternoon as he pointed to the two boxes that they had brought from Al’s apartment to their new house.

“Yes”. Al said as he grabbed the last box of his things from the car and set it on the ground and turned to face his boyfriend.

“Those are my horror DVDs”. Al added as he looked at Hank like he was waiting for a reaction.

“I didn’t know they made that many horror movies”. Hank joked as he went to grab one of the DVDs out of the first box.

“Don’t touch that, please”. Al said suddenly as he grabbed Hank’s hand before he could take the DVD out. “They're all organized in a specific way and I just cleaned them all”.

“Sorry, darling”. Hank apologized as he moved his hand away.

Sure he knew Al liked the horror genre. God knows that’s what they watched every movie night because Hank couldn’t say no to his boyfriend especially with how happy it would make Al.

He just didn’t know Al’s interest went so deep.

“It’s my special interest, I think it’s called”. Al explained and Hank nodded.

“Interesting”. Hank replied as he just looked at the DVDs not attempting to reach for them again. The last thing he wanted to do is agitate Al. There were rows and rows of them.

“I have some posters too and books. Probably more books than DVDs”. Al responded as he pointed to a couple more boxes.

“How much of your stuff is actually clothes and essentials?” Hank asked with a raised eyebrow as he wrapped his arms around Al’s waist.

“Two boxes”. Al said sheepishly.

“Well I guess I will have to make room for everything. I have a couple shelves but those are all at least fifteen years old”. Hank replied, mostly thinking out loud.

He knew from all the time he had spent with Al in his old apartment, that he had one shelf where he displayed some DVDs and books, but everything else was in storage. Hank wanted to display as much as possible if that’s what Al wanted. This was something clearly important to him and Hank didn’t want it and Al’s happiness hidden.

“Are you sure?” Al replied looking surprised as he pulled away a bit to look Hank in the eyes.

“Of course. This is important to you, Al and it should be displayed and talked about. I want to know your favorite DVDs and books”. Hank responded and Al leaned back against him.

“I’m not sure you know what you're signing up for, Hank”.

Hank chuckled as he looked around at the collection he knew Al had been building since he was young.

“I do and I want to know more. I want to know everything about horror that one can know”. Hank responded honestly and Al just smiled in his boyfriend’s embrace.

“I love you, Hal”. Al whispered.

“I love you too, Al”.
