Sam Winchester Appreciation Week 2024: Day Four - neurodivergent sam / autistic sam

I don't feel free. What we've done, what we've lost, right now, that is what I'm feeling, and sometimes it's like I can't even breathe.

autistic sastiel is so important to me. like sam’s special interest would be supernatural lore while castiel’s is humanity and bees. i also kinda believe he would have some kind of interest in linguistics?? idk maybe im projecting.

just thinking of sam wanting to learn enochian and cas teaching him. so when they take turns info dumping they switch between english and enochian and deans happens to catch ear of it ands like “???”.

they are gay. they are trans. they are autistic.

Sometimes Sam gets very overstimulated, and this has happened so many times that Dean mainly wears jackets with a certain texture Sam likes so he can hold on to the jacket without freaking out

[babyblue-mind]

Stimming stimming stimming

Dean is loud

Playing with his jewellery, listening to loud music, vocal stimms (humming, clicking his tounge, whistling etc), tapping his hands and his fingers and his knuckles on stuff all the time, rocking on his chair

Sam

Probably plays with his hair a lot, not consciously just tucking it behind his ears and ruffling it all the time and stuff like that. Definitely was one of those kids who would spin around and around in one spot for ages and make themselves dizzy to feel the inertia. PACING PACING PACING. Biting his lip and tounge and the inside of his cheek, rubbing his hands up and down his forearms or over his thighs to feel the fabric there.

Let those old men stim

Anyone else notice that especially in the earlier seasons(1-3 specifically for this post), Sam is usually the one talking to the witnesses/authority figures. Doesn’t matter if Dean started the conversation/interrogation, Sam near always finishes them.

Not only that, but officers and others tend to direct their questions more to Sam than Dean. The question is why? In the early seasons like 1-3, Dean may be shorter, but Sam is still noticeably younger than his brother. Is there something about Sam that people trust him to be more mature or what?

On the opposite note, you will rarely see Sam talking to any kid, his area lying more with the teens and young adults. Dean is always talking to the kids, he values their opinions and wants them to feel safe no matter what. This is probably from raising Sam, but it’s also very him. (One example is Lucas in 1x03 Dead in the Water, another is Michael in 1x18 Something Wicked, and again with Ben in 3x02 The Kids Are All Right)

Now, I’m very much onboard with the “both Winchester brothers are autistic” and “ADHDean”, but my question is still, why would the authorities and older suspects talk to Sam instead of Dean? Is it because Sam is so good at masking? Is it because Dean is starting to let his childish side out more now that John isn’t there? Maybe it’s because due to Dean having been selectively mute, Sam had to speak for the both of them growing up and the habit stuck? Could it be because even though both boys are good looking, Sam is more traditionally handsome while Dean is a pretty face? Is there really an answer?

[au-where-spn-is-good]

why do i never see posts abt sam wanting to b a writer as a kid. where’s baby sam making comics, writing his own short stories. he was a lonely kid, he was creative, he had an imaginary friend, you know this mf had ocs!!!!!! he read lotr and he made a world where magic was beautiful and kind and magical creatures weren’t all monsters and he drew shitty little doodles of his characters in the margins of his homework assignments and stared out the window of the impala silently for hours just daydreaming

autistic sam winchester

Bought [Sam] a new computer. He’s a zealot about having a Macintosh. Also he’s a walking dictionary of the occult and esoteric. - John Winchester’s Journal by Alex Irvine 

[ebenelephant]

Just had a vision clear as day of little Sam yammering on about his current special interest and John just passively listening. He's been home a few days, and there isn't a case, and they're staying a while longer in this town to make sure everything is settled. The rain is hitting the windows. Dean's got his Walkman on and his headphones in and he's reading something or other – some classic John never got round to – curled up on the lone chair in the corner. John's lying on the bed and Sam's lying next to him, tiny arms so animated that his body shakes the mattress. For the most part the sound of his voice washes over him, but every so often something catches his attention, and he asks a question, and Sam beams with this big gap-toothed grin that makes his heart want to burst.

Another thing about autistic Dean in spn. Why does everyone say Sam and Dean are Autism + ADHD?

Like, I'm sure Dean has ADHD, but like, come on people. His autistic traits are right there! He's literally a media autistic. He loves his movies and his shows and his music. He's also a car and cowboy autistic but still. Most people on this app study pieces of media for fun! Or religiously talk about them. Or make tons of cool art. The fact that more people say Sam has autism than people do aboht Dean is astounding to me.

I'm not saying Sam doesn't have autism. (Though I don't really know his traits. I guess he has low empathy, and knows random facts about random things, I can't really think of any) If anyone knows Sam's autistic traits Id love to hear them! I don't pay as much attention to Sam as I do Dean so I probably missed something.

Sam wears a bunch of bracelets like this:

All diffrent types of styles and colors and shit. He only wears them on one arm though, because of sensory issues.

Where does he get all of these? Well, when he was young as his 'trinket' from the towns they would go to he'd get a bracelet! Dean tended to get keychains, Baby's keychain? Covered in them.

He also may have stolen a few. Others were gifted to him. And a couple? Taken off dead bodies. Don't judge him, jewelry is expensive and they aren't going to wear it anymore.

He likes to pull and spin on them as a stim too.
