So today I was told a story about an ex-husband who has OCD and it is focused on his ex-wife. He’s constantly dropping by the house, driving near the house, mowing her lawn, and other random things because he compulsively needs to be around her. The ex-wife lets him because she feels sorry for him. She’s not at risk in any way and he has no ill will to her in the slightest. He’s OCD and she gets that.
This is just how they live.
Because it doesn’t have to be creepy. Because sometimes people can’t help a mental illness. Because OCD is real and hard to handle.
Now imagine if you were never diagnosed with OCD. Imagine if you spent your entire life not learning obvious social cues. And then one day, your compulsions locked onto an unsuspecting person.
Sure, people mention how weird it is, but you’ve always been weird in other people’s eyes. Your brothers have always made snide comments about your habits and hobbies. It’s not like you’re hurting her. She might need help. Or want to talk. You need to check on her. Find out what she’s doing. You just need to. This is the last time. The final visit. Just one more time. Just one more time. Just one mo-
#Donnie canonly has OCD in case that wasn’t obvious#His creators made him with that in mind#Maybe stop hating on the show and consider that it might be a real take on a serious condition#Why can we understand low empathy Autism and other conditions but we have to hate on this one?#he seriously doesn’t mean to#tmnt 2012#tmnt 2k12#teenage mutant ninja turtles 2012#teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt fandom#2012 tmnt#tmnt donnie 2012#2012 donnie#donnie 2012#tmnt 2012 donnie#2012 donatello#tmnt april 2012#2012 apritello#tmnt 2012 april#2012 april#tmnt april o'neil#donnie tmnt 2012#donnie tmnt#donnie hamato

HOly fucking SHIT-
Guys I just had a complete Shellstrop style “holy motherforking shirt balls” moment at work about Donnie’s unusual speaking patterns. You know, when he does this:
This tendency to narrate his actions in the third person or verbally say onomatopoeias in place of the sound is uh… well it’s autistic right? Look it features in literally every compilation but no one knows why other than “vibes, sometimes it just be like that 🤷”
But NO. No it NOT be like that. I finally know what this fucking nerd is doing, hear me out…
… he’s scripting.
Think about it. You know what else describes action, emotion, and sound in purely words? Books. He has these little speaking quirks, yah, but if you actually zoom out and see the whole picture, Donnie talks like he’s a narrator. This makes a SHIT ton of sense considering we already have textual evidence that he engages in scripting behavior (more specifically some possible echolalia. See: saying “New York! What a Town!” in any situation something kind of abnormal happens after he hears Splinter say it with the exact same infections and everything.)
And we also know from the mystic library that Donnie actively seeks out and enjoys reading. So it stands to reason an autistic 14 year old who likes to be left alone to work on complex machines a decent amount and takes pride in his intellect would model the way he communicates off of written media as opposed to tv or his brothers. He could fill his social tool box with lines from Jupiter Jones and Lou Jitsu movies, but he may think it would give him less of a chance to properly express his capabilities.
Books are also the only form of media that can literally just tell you flat out what a character’s expression or emotion is supposed to be without it being awkward, which would be really appealing for Donnie. What solidifies this for me is the fact that at least once he verbally says “sad face emoji”, which could not have come from a novel or textbook. But we often do flagrantly use emoticons as tone indicators, and Donnie is constantly on his phone.
I think he’s definitely aware that this is not a regular way of communicating, but he’s clearly also self aware of his issues in getting his emotional meaning across and receiving input back. So it stands to reason he would accommodate this in a way that, yes, makes him sound odd, but is at least effective.
Now for my final little “I’ve connected the dots. I’ve connected them” moment, I headcannon that Donnie learned to read before he fully got the hang of speech. Aside from… literally everything I just said, he uses sign language to tell the squirrels to blow up his treehouse in that one episode. But he does the sign for “make” a bit incorrectly (there should be a slight twist in his upper fist), which leads me to believe he was probably taught baby sign out of necessity rather than being fully proficient in asl. This is fairly common for autistic children with speech delays.

On the topic, I think Rise does a wonderful job of displaying the sensory needs of neurodiverse characters because they don't limit them to one extreme or the other; another reason why their portrayal is so wonderful.
Donnie probably shows the most examples of this range, for obvious reasons. He doesn't like unexpected stimuli—and that can be something as small as unexpected touch. He has a preference for his flavorless juice. His lab, from what I've been able to glean, appears to be lit mostly from the glow of his computer screens or his tech. Otherwise it's usually kept rather dark.
On the other hand, Donnie loves noise (as long as he's in control of it, of course). He blasts techno music until it's impossible to talk without shouting. He falls asleep to Shelldon's affirmations: also absolutely blaring.
As for Mikey, this one's a lot more speculative lolol. We see a lot of examples of him seeking out sensory throughout the series, the most memorable for me personally being when the boys are interrogating Warren Stone and he's just. Playing with absolutely everything on the playground, rapidly switching from one thing to the next. But for someone who loves runs around—and very much enjoys doing so—it's a bit surprising to me that he so willingly rides Raph's shell so much. I could see that being his safe space of sorts, for when things get too exciting and Mikey can feel it starting to overwhelm him. Just an area to take a breather.
It's wonderful to see both because it allows the characters to have sensory needs without it becoming a one-dimensional gag. It's no longer a trope, but rather an aspect of their identities. Yeah, Donnie not always reciprocating affection can be made funny. Yeah, Mikey not sitting still can be made funny. But the joke is never the character themselves because they focused on writing a complex, actual person; not the simplified, easily-digestible idea of a disability.
#i see in a lot of media the same thing that some people do where a character has a favorite food and it becomes their whole personality#except it's an aspect of nd-ness#it's a hard line to follow: for Donnie you can see that a lot of his personality is colored by his autism#but it's less of an argument of 'oh he's a person BEYOND his disability' and more the fact that#his autism is an intrinsic part of himself that has doubtlessly shaped his identity because it influenced the way he views the world#how MUCH has it influenced him though#and shit: does it even fucking matter if it was a lot? spoiler: it doesn't#i think it comes back to the idea that people have a hard time with anything that's not an extreme#either this character is entirely independent of their disability and have no connection to it#or their disability makes up their whole personality#because some people still see things like autism and adhd as inherently bad things rather than just another thing that makes someone up#who knows. i don't pretend to speak for everyone.#rise donnie#rise mikey#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#fluffy cooks a headcanon#fluffy writes an essay

7kposting again . observe my Cyrus and Donella dynamic. they are best worsties . (Hugo and Nuru are also best worsties)
i didn t draw everybody’s epic scars not because i forgot but because i am lazy . (it’s because i forgot)
#everybody in vat7k r transgender btw…. it’s historically accurate#hugo and nuru are also best worsties#if i catch anybody interpreting this as a ship dynamic. NO MERCY#pictured are two lesbians and their gay guy nemesis#slurs are exchanged#donnie & cyr have the same genre of autism that makes them look and sound Insufferably Bored & Pissed#hugo . also has this#nuru hav the genre of tism that makes her appear incredibly dramatic#the clash is fatal#vat7k#vat7k fanart#varian and the seven kingdoms#nuru vat7k#princess nuru#hugo vat7k#varian and the 7 kingdoms#vat7k donella#vat7k cyrus

if i had a nickel for every time I found out that a fellow peepaw multiverse fic writer also has purple hair, i'd have like four nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened four times.
#is this the Writing A Leo Centric Fic But Has Autism/Adhd So Feels Connected To Donnie pipeline#??#purple hair and pronouns
