#opposite sides of the autism spectrum

[bugsnaxed]

I know I say *insert characters here* should’ve interacted more a lot but like. They should’ve interacted more.

despite how different their personalities are, clara & azz are really similar in the sense that despite the fact they have extremely loving families & are super popular among their younger relatives, they have absolutely no idea how to connect to kids their age. before they meet iruma, they’re both mainly popular for their magic, too. clara’s bloodline ability means that she had people approach her, but only for the wrong reasons, while everyone seems to be in awe of azz’s mastery of fire but don’t really know how to approach him (tho of course we see him shrug off a lot of ppls attempts to). i think it makes a lot of sense that they fight over iruma at first, because they have literally like. never had anyone who sees them as someone as their equal, and they’ve never really had to share a friend before. iruma’s in the same boat, of course, which is part of the reason they latch onto each other so immediately. they’ve all gone so long without this kind of relationship, they don’t want to have to spend even a second apart

Being in love with Frasier is great because he's canonically married and almost-married two of the most autistic women on earth like wow I might actually have a chance

As a reader I find captain ahab wholly more relatable than Ishmael

Yeah yeah suicidal tendencies and info dumping, all that

but I used to play with my toys by naming the mother ones after my own mom and then subsequently killing them off in a brutal and drawn out manner

i would also love to know if there’s a specific reason you like/dislike asmr! (ex: feels good to focus on one sensory experience, mimics the experience of echolalia, helps detach from surroundings, etc)

OH MY GOD YES YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! THIS IS SO CUTE

Zag gets back from a run angry after dying to theseus and doesn't even look at hypnos greeting him- until he does because he is PRETTY sure he heard Than greeting him just now (which is ooc because than never greets anyone. He just teleports into the room and goes straight to the topic). Zag looks at hypnos quizzically and hypnos, despite the shit eating grin on his face, doesn't look back at Zag and keeps checking his list. He is enjoying his confusion.

BUT ZAG KNOWS something is up because hypnos obviously can't keep it or shut his big mouth for too long and soon enough he tells him about it, then they both are laughing hysterically at hypnos saying things that than would NOT say (unless u hc thanatos sings cotton eye joe frequently)

But of course Hades is here to ruin all fun and scold both of them for not getting back to work, completely unfazed by the show happening in front of him. which means one of two things, either he doesn't care about whatever clownery his employees do as long as they get the job done, or this isn't the first time this happened

hades au where thanatos amd hypnos' voices are swapped. everyhting else is the same

Kyrie and Natsuhi do look very queer here, at least something good

(Last Anon) I was referring to Tails not being more clear about what the trap was, I'm sorry for not clarifying! (Heh, I guess I have my own case of Favorite Character Syndrome 😅)

Ohh that does make sense! Tails having a very clear understanding of something in his head and then not realizing that other people don't have that same understanding could also definitely be read as a neurodivergent thing, I agree

Plus it just feels like a mindset that would make sense with his character; Tails is always Thinking and Calculating and it's easy to see how he wouldn't know how to gauge what's obvious to other people, especially Sonic because they're on like. opposite spectrums of overthinking vs impulsiveness

And Hannibal is the type to make sure he stares everyone down at every other time but blush and have to look away while Will sucks the soul out of his body

Will Graham's the type of guy to not make eye contact with anyone but make staggering eye contact with Hannibal while sucking his cock

[bumpscosity]

I promise I’m rly liking wednesday so far it’s just fun to laugh abt how it’s Big Kids Monster High

[atomicradiogirl]

i just came to the realization that david shore created house md and the good doctor and house and shaun are literally on opposite sides of the autism AND the character goodness spectrum. shaun is literally “the good doctor” and house is like “the evil doctor.” top 10 anime battles but make it evil autism vs good autism do medical malpractice.

the david shore medical malpractice universe is literally just this.

I think that if your kid is a little weird, you should let them know.

And obviously, not to berate them or try to stamp it down or whatever but just. Let them know they're a weirdo and it's fine. Teach them that it's ok to be odd and to feel different from other kids. That it's neither good nor bad, just a fact of some people's lives.

My parents didn't know I had autism when they raised me, but they knew I was weird. And they let me know. They told me yeah you're a little different from most people and that's ok. Some of them might try to make you feel bad for it, and they're wrong. As long as you're not harming anyone, you're allowed to be weird. It's not just in your head.

And I'm so glad they did that, because on the opposite side of the spectrum you had teachers telling me that I *was not special in any way* and that if I behaved oddly it was just *to get attention* and that I was doing it *on purpose*. And I was lucky that my parents were always on my side.

Even if you don't have diagnoses or anything like that to explain to a kid. Just let them know. It'll help them.

Turn It Off!

Gentle!Wednesday x Autistic!Male!Reader

Summary: Wednesday comforts you after Enid almost sends you into sensory overload.

Words: 1076

Wednesday POV

Normally I would resent anyone who would even dare to think of asking me out, but that all changed when a particular psychic boy asked me to be his friend, and soon to be boyfriend.

Y/N L/N, a real gem among idiots.

I instantly took a liking to him, he's different from everything else and I soon came to find out why.

Y/N has autism spectrum disorder, which would be a valid explanation for some of his behaviour since coming to nevermore.

He's extremely shy, when he asked me to be his friend he almost broke at the seams. He's really nervous during any kind of social interaction with those he doesn't know.

Loud noises are especially irritable for him. Wolves howling in the quad would be torture for him, making him put his headphones on the second he sees them about to howl.

Meltdowns. Some imbecile thought it was funny to blast an air horn into his ears during lunch break, the result was Y/N having a meltdown with no one able to help him.

When we started talking I knew he felt a connection to me, he was a bit scared of me but also intrigued.

He's vastly intelligent, easily an IQ of 160. He's truly gifted with intelligence and that's coming from me. I'm not one to be humble.

When we started dating I took him to the weathervane, I didn't want to scare him like I did with everyone else. He's a fragile boy and didn't deserve that.

I wanted to protect him, to care for him and help where everyone elsen had failed him.

I love everything about him. I love the he'd hide his hands in his sleeves when he's shy. I love the way he talks about his favourite things in great detail. I love the way he could come to me when he's upset.

I love him, so very very much.

Me, Enid and Y/N are currently studying for our botany test next week. Enid, as usual, is procrastinating while me and Y/N have been studying since the test was announced.

We both go to reach for the eraser on the desk next to us, only for our hands to touch. I kissed the top of his hand making him blush madly, he really is cute; I hate myself for using that word.

Enid is dancing around her room being the foolish lycan that she is, she never ceases to amaze me how foolish she can be, its actually quite remarkable.

Suddenly, she decided it was a good idea to start blasting her incessant music out of her speakers, causing Y/N to cover his ears and whimper out of discomfort.

"Enid, turn it off" I said with a warning tone, though she only chose to ignore me and do her embarrassing dance moves in front of my face. Y/N began to whimper louder, making my anger with Enid rise to new heights.

"Enid turn it off!" I said louder; no effect was made.

"Why? It's getting boring in here, let's have some fun!" She said loudly, only adding to Y/N's discomfort. I was furious.

"ENID!" I shout, startling the both of them. "Can't you see that Y/N is getting upset because of your music blasting his ear drums apart, he's sensitive to noise you imbecile!" She looked over to Y/N to see him curled up in a ball with his hands over his ears, a guilty expression painting her face.

I point my finger to the door. "Get out" is all I say. She obeys and walks out with her head hung low. She knows about his noise sensitivity and yet she still does this, the audacity of some people.

Though my anger was strong and prevalent, I still heard faint whimpers from my side of the room. Y/N was still feeling uncomfortable after all that noise and was curled up in a ball on the floor by my desk. Thing was trying his best to comfort him, but nothing seemed to work.

I walk over to him and sit down opposite him with a gentle smile on my face. I patted my knees indicating for him to sit in my lap, he nodded and crawled into my lap and I hugged him tight, he preferred pressure over feather light touches.

He sniffled quietly, hoping I wouldn't notice. He looked away from so that I wouldn't see the tears streaming down his face like a river, as if I'd resent him for it. I pulled his face by his chin to look at me and offered a reassuring smile. I only ever smile for him.

"It's okay to cry in front of me, I won't be mad. Please don't be afraid to cry in front of me, I don't want you to be scared of me, darling." And with that he broke, he hid his face in my shoulder as I stroked his back, my blazer becoming wet with tears but I didn't care.

"I'm sorry Wednesday, I know you hate emotions." He said through his sobs. I felt my heart break a little, he thought I'd hate him for it.

"No it's okay, sweetheart, it's you so I don't mind at all. I would never be disappointed in you for being upset. Enid is the one I'm disappointed in, she should've been more mindful of your needs."

I pulled back from him. "Can I kiss you?" He nodded and I planted a gentle kiss to his lips. "Wanna cuddle for a bit?" He nodded again and I guided him to my bed.

We sat on the bed and I held him with a vice grip from behind. I wanted to reassure him that he's okay to be emotional around me. I had not realised he feared me so much.

"I won't leave you for being emotional Y/N, you know that right?" I whispered behind him. "I'm always here to listen you, I know it can be hard to operate somedays and it can be overwhelming for you, I'm hoping you'll let me in and help you and comfort you in any way I can." He turned around, he looked taken aback by what I said, I meant everything.

"You would do that? For me?" I smiled and nodded

"I'd do anything for you, mi amor." He leaned forward and kissed me gently, smiling against my lips which I happily returned.

Maybe I'm not unlike my mother and father after all...
