Autistic Bruno headcanons/fic ideas go!

-gvr 💚

I dunno how fresh these are, but here I go:

Rubbing fabrics is one of his most common stims, but there are some others not seen in the movie. I don't remember who it was, but months ago someone said that they wanted to HC him flapping but felt bad because the way the fandom was... it's in the ol book of HC's now. you deserve flappy Bruno homie.

Sand is very texture™.

When he was a kid, Bruno spent long periods of time looking at the sand in hourglasses fall.

Being the gifted kid of the family allowed a lot of his quirks to get overlooked for a while. By the time he hit burnout, he was seen as a burden. this could probably be a general HC, but it was very much a double edged sword for him.

He advocated for Dolores at loud parties, and postcanon, the two will go to her room to enjoy a quiet activity.

His "Special rat" he mentions in OBB is his support rat that acts as not only a companion, but a comfort. He pets it and also trained it to lick his face and calm him down.

I've mentioned the HC of involuntary visions sometimes vetting tied to meltdowns. The swirlimg sand has unintentionally hurt people before, and out of context, a random villager probably would see it as scary.

This one is common I think, but Mirabel making Bruno textured a scarf,plush, etc? yes, she does that.

She is also one of the first people that really sat and listened to him to that extent. Second most would be Julieta, who was in general the nurturing big sister, though she took care of everyone. That line about holding him in the book until it relaxed and being ok with him not talkong until he felt comfortable is canon in my heart. She knew a lot what to do because of how gentle she is with Antonio and when it comes to emotional care, post canon especially she goes out of her way to make sure everyone, including him is okay.

Luisa gives some awesome pressure hugs, though she has to watch her strength, of course. Bruno can just give her a look and she knows.

If you let him talk about his rats or shows, he will be your best friend. It's not something that everyone necessarily understood, but post canon everyone, especially his family enjoy his shows and his enthusiasm. Something he loves just as much though is the actual process of making things. He can get into a full on trance making his art and sets.

Bruno being afraid of fireworks for the angst. :( It's another reason for him to get Dolores in her soundproof room though.

Julieta knows how his body reacts when he is happy, and is the most thrilled to see that as he is getting better emotionally.

The first time that they all ate together as a family again was chaotic and it was a learning experience. It took some tweaking and sometimes he will eat alone, but generally family meals are good now. :)

The silver lining to his gift is being able to have predictability in his life. He still isn't fond of when the future sneaks up on him or things don't go to plan like in the game where he freaks out and mirabel has to calm him down

He hides in tight corners and small spaces, and his new room has a little hiding spot. The family knows about it and the other spaces he has in the house but respect that

He hits himself and hair pulls when he's in a bad space mentally.

As he got older, a lot of his quirks were misumderstood by the villager and even his mother as him being moody or Noncompliant. Post-canon, she starts to listen to him more and gets to have a caring motherly role more often. She tries to check up on him and make sure that his limits aren't being puahed and that she isn't subconvipusly trying to make him someone else.

He asked Julieta to "fix" him at least once when he was older and frustrated with how sour everything had gone. He's a lot happier with himself, though.

These probably aren't the freshest ideas, but I might add more to the future. Anon, I would love to hear any of your ideas if you have them, as well as other people. Feel free to add in reblogs, comments, asks, or whatever you can think of

Some of that viciousness has to be from them having a closed off viewpoint of other people's mental health struggles that don't fit their own experiences. An internal desire to somehow appeal to neurotypicals with a sanitized/easy to digest view of neurodivergency to still fit in or at least "look good" and anything that doesn't fit it is "wrong".

EXACTLY MAN. i think a lot of it is people trying to be palatable and not let neurotypicals think "ALL neurodivergents are Like That" which just kind of. really fucking sucks lol. and really just defeats the purpose of neurodivergency as a community

thinking about the zelda timeline in regards to totk makes me go fully insane if you dont hear from me for a while just know i am thinking about the zelda timeline

[notabled-noodle]

symptoms of OCD other than just “obsessions” and “compulsions”:

doubting everything constantly

dissociation

trust issues

difficulties making and maintaining relationships

having a great memory but not trusting it

difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep

fear of sleeping in case of nightmares

hoarding

procrastination

perfectionism

… and more!

OCD is a super complex disorder that can lead to a broad spectrum of issues. it is way more than just “the obsession disorder”

does being neurodivergent mean you have to be diagnosed with adhd, autism, dyslexia, or other conditions?? or can you be considered neurodivergent even if you're just different than most people (like for example having a higher or lower than average iq)

[badfey]

coffee and adhd referral form feuled post feel free to ignore but man. the last adhd assessment said I was in the 99th percentile for like the reading/spelling/whatever tests they did, but obvs wayyyy below for stuff like attention and short term memory. and it's just like mad to me. why am I literally entirely made from extremes. I really don't do anything halfway

In my experience, Ezra is also usually a chainsmoker with the same anxieties and problems as unemployed people.

Plus they're all neurodivergemt

tumblr being all adults nowadays is so funny because my mutuals are either unemployed chainsmokers or Ezra, Bioengineering PHD Candidate at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Hello! I know this post is from like four years ago, but I thought I’d share some key terms and stuff about autism (as an autistic person myself) :D

First thing to know, autism is a neurological disorder, meaning people who have it have brains that work differently than people who aren’t autistic. This commonly manifests as difficulty socializing, repetitive and/or stimulatory behavior, and intense and/or specific interests, to name a just few symptoms, but there’s a myriad of different ways autism is expressed and experienced!

Neurodivergent is a term that describes anyone who’s brain is different from the norm, and that difference affects a person’s behaviors and/or abilities. They have different challenges and strengths from people who aren’t neuroduvergent. Autistic people are neurodivergent because their brain’s are different from people who aren’t autistic. Other disorders that fall under the neurodivergent umbrella are OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and BPD (borderline personality disorder), but there are many more conditions that fall under the neurodivergemt umbrella.

on that note, someone who isn’t neurodivergent in any way is Neurotypical, meaning their brain functions in what’s deemed a normal way. They don’t have any neurodivergent disorders.

someone who’s specifically not AUTISTIC is Allistic, meaning they don’t have autism. They can still have other neurodivergent conditions like The ones previously listed, they just aren’t autistic.

a group of people with different types of brains is Neurodiverse, meaning that the people in the group have different neurological structures. For example, a friend group of an autistic person, a neurotypical person, and two people that have adhd is a neurodiverse friend group, and a couple of one person with ocd and one dyslexic person is a neurodiverse couple.

hey so, this iis knd o personal but

i have a brother who is autistic and i know theres a pretty big comomunity here on tumblr whoo know a lot abt autism and are autistic! (which i really love) as someone who isnt autistic i really want to learn more about terms and what things mean in the community! i really want to learn how to support my brother and i want to start becoming closer to him because i care abt him and while i listen to hiim talk i dont feel like im doing enough thank you in advance, i love u all ok!!
