Autistic Wakko Headcanons

Since someone asked...

Very emotional, is quick to laugh and quick to cry

His hat is his comfort item, as he’s never seen without it. Sometimes he gets very distressed and upset whenever he doesn’t have it or can’t find it

He is the most sensitive out of the Warners and often takes things very seriously

Usually very calm and collected but has his moments; his meltdowns involve uncontrollable crying fits, ear tugging, lip chewing or panic attacks

He’s got sensory issues, so tags on clothing are the bane of his existence. That’s why he finds his sweater incredibly comfy since it doesn’t have any tags and he never has to worry about them

You know how he always his tongue hanging out as a form of stimming? Not only that, but he also wags his tail or flaps his hands sometimes so hard that he starts to fly away and Yakko has to hold him down by his ankle. Tail wagging, hand flapping, jumping up and down while tugging on his ears excitedly (as seen in “Ups and Downs”) or running around on all fours like a puppy (as seen in “WhoDonut”) are some forms of happy stimming

He really doesn’t understand social cues and has difficulty in social situations

Doesn’t really feel the need to talk unless he has something to say

Incredibly passionate about a lot of things! He’s the kind of person that hops from one special interest after another. His favorite actor is none other than Don Knotts, his most enduring and prominent interest

He has a bit of an interest with puppetry

Geography is another one of Wakko’s interests and one he really loves, as seen in “Wakko’s America”

I really really love the autistic!Wakko headcanon. In fact, I got a list of my own where I go into extremely deep detail of the reasons Wakko is autistic and why; not only do I see him with autism, but I also see him with OCD (obsessive compulsion disorder). I know that there’s already a headcanon where Dot has OCD, but I think I’ll pass that on to Wakko instead. And that’s really saying a lot.
