#autistic todd anderson

There’s something deep inside of me that so badly wants to make a Dead Poets Society show. It would still take place in 1959, that wouldn’t change. The main changes would be the Knox/Chris thing. Mainly him sexually assaulting her (if you’ve read the book, you know), it could be changed to him getting drunk and talking about wanting to date Chris, and then Chet overhears, and things continue like the original. Charlie wouldn’t have the Nuwanda thing, I know some people like it but like, it’s racist, and there are other ways to show him rejecting society than the way he did. It would also put more emphasis on the struggle that Neil had, and maybe possibly make Anderperry canon, or deeply hinted at (I wouldn’t wanna push anything cuz it’s still 1959). Todd wouldn’t be directly stated to be autistic because the medical community didn’t really believe autism was a thing then, but it would also be deeply hinted at.

There could also be episodes dedicated to each individual member of the Dead Poets. I feel Meeks and Pitts are underrated and we don’t know much about them. It would be cool to have episodes dedicated to them all, learn more about their internal struggles (if they have any) and their family situations, maybe meet Todd’s brother, stuff like that. I also think it would be interesting to learn more about Cameron, possibly even why he ratted out on Keating.

This is just an idea that’s deep inside my head and won’t leave. Too bad I’m an 18 year old with no experience in television and can’t do anything about this idea. But now it’s out in the world, so that’s something

headcanon that Neil always uses the big spoons, regardless of what he’s using it for, in order to save the “good” spoons for Todd :)

Autism is autisming so hard I’m dressed like I belong in an all boys private school in the 50s reading poetry in caves

Characters I can actually relate to as an autistic person without them being canonically autistic :)

I know they are all very different from each other but I relate to certain treats they have.

Today’s Autistic character of the day is:

Todd Anderson from Dead Poets Society

[aims-world]

was recommending Dead Poets Society to my friend and wanted to describe it as having "autumn vibes" but misspoke and said "autism vibes" but I guess it could still apply ??

[confusedghostie]

Indeed. Half of the characters from the fandom I'm in will probably get an official autism diagnosis from me. I trust the rest of you for the gender discovery
