How Ravi Panikkar from 9-1-1 is autistic coded

im actually autistic btw and also dont like, dont read <3

lack of talking - in most episodes he goes a while without talking, just reacting with his face. (could be cause he’s not a main but shh) he tends to use a lot more non-verbal communication (gestures, faces etc) than he does verbal

fidgets/distracted easily - the gurney, 6x14 he fidgets a lot, and most episodes he’s just mindlessly fidgeting. from the jaw movement, the arm touches, tapping on the bags, he’s rarely still. he also tends to get distracted easily

eye contact - he doesn’t make a lot of eye contact and when he does it looks forced, plus it’s quick and it’s fleeting. doesn’t last long. especially if the topic is deep, he won’t make it at all

struggles with morals - the pier. autistic individuals feel their morals a lot more intense and it can be hard to distance from that. hence why the pier got to him so badly, because it fucked with his morals for life and firefighting and he didn’t know how to separate them

rough social skills - you can tell he feels that struggle to fit in, he would (still does at times) gets excited when one of the 118 actually talks to him, says the wrong things at the wrong times, alone a lot, potentially no friends outside of work (treasure hunt)

saying the wrong things at the wrong times/that come across as rude - “i did say that was a bad idea” - “that’s kind of basic” - the comment about the mirror in 5x5 - inappropriate comments about his buildings (ewew) - “i don’t expect much” - “i don’t really know these people”

“that’s kind of basic” followed by buck/eddies reaction “what he really means” - it insinuates they’ve had to do this before, jump in and clarify what ravi means because too him the comment made perfect sense, even when rude (you can also see he doesn’t understand why it’s wrong)

anxiety - he’s a very anxious character, esp in s5 but even then in s6, his confidence is a mask to hide that anxiety he’s feeling, you can see it in his eyes. he does a lot of second guessing and overthinking - anxiety is commonly seen with asd

alone/self isolation - he does a lot of things alone. the treasure hunt, on shift he’s alone a lot, just seems to really be fine just to be with himself. he also isolates himself when times get hard (buck in 5x5, the pier incident)

intelligence - he thinks outside the box, coming up with different smarter ways. getting coffee with a mobile order, finding the treasure first, realising they need co2 etc. he’s always thinking and figuring out things first - knowing random facts (phantosmia comment)

watching faces - he’s constantly looking at how the others are reacting so he knows what the appropriate response would be - when they’re inside the restaurant he’s the last to react to the guy screaming up; he’s watching buck’s face and seeing how he reacts first

following instructions - if there’s more than two steps it’s harder for him to do it and especially right, this is very clear in 5x5 like with the gurney, with the retirement fire. he preformed better when it was just one step at a time (ravi your with hen, ravi go get him etc)

stating the obvious - the whole drain pipes are only three inches so a person can’t be in it, it’s common sense yet he stated it because to him it feels like the right information to add - he does it a few other times as well, stating things people already know

«Dicho de otro modo, necesitamos de algunos símbolos que representen el esfuerzo humano o sobrehumano por dar sentido a la realidad. Necesitamos algún mito que nos hable de nuestras perspectiva limitada y que, al mismo tiempo, responda a nuestra exigencia, igualmente innegable, de ultimidad. Necesitamos símbolos, símbolos humanos, pero concretos. Tenemos que ser conscientes de sus limitaciones, pero, al mismo tiempo, igualmente conscientes de que no podemos renunciar a la verdad. Sugiero que la filosofía podría ser uno de esos símbolos.»

[...] qui no viu ara la vida eterna, tampoc no la viurà després. Això és l'experiència pasqual. És a dir, no em preocupa el demà perquè ja he vist la realitat. I, en conseqüència, no és que sigui molt valent perquè domino la por, sinó que no tinc por perquè no en tinc, de por. Un misticisme que descobreix que el sentit de la vida no es troba a la fi d'aquesta, sinó en la vida mateixa.

Every time they say probie I take a drag out of my cigarette like "they used to call my good friend Ravi Panikkar that"

La saviesa consisteix en reconèixer la singularitat d’un instant. És a dir, que cada moment és únic i irrepetible.

Qui no viu en la sorpresa i el miracle de cada dia, no viu.

Bobby: it was a calculated risk!! Buck: it was a cross-your-fingers- and-hope-for-the-best risk. believe me, i know the difference.

Ways I think the 118 would try to get rid of Gerrard:

- Bringing out the clipboard and let Buck criticizes everything Gerrard does, 'cause the LAFD guidelines say otherwise

- Ravi dropping the Q word everytime Gerrard says something problematic

- Eddie takes up cooking and gives Gerrard food poisoning during the first shift

- Eddie and Buck act like how they usually do (its not intentional, but drives Gerrard crazy)

- Hen and Chimney act like he's not even there, except when they're attending an actual emergency -> but they're the paramedics there so Gerrard can't really give orders to them (everyone else denies that Hen and Chim ignore Gerrard)

- Buck brings in Taylor 'cause she wouldn't turn down an opportunity to make a big report about how a councilwoman placed back a racist and homophobic captain into a diverse house where his previous victims' still there

L'argument de la «dignitat del cristianisme i la indignitat dels cristians» no és vàlid. En primer lloc, perquè es pot aplicar a qualsevol altra religió i ideologia. En segon lloc, perquè la religió no és tant una doctrina excelsa, com una realitat social, històrica i encarnada. En tercer lloc, perquè defensar-se dient que els altres no ho han (o haurien) fet millor, no provaria sinó que volem fer una apologètica a priori, i que esquivem la qüestió fonamental sobre la religiositat que necessita Europa.

i feel like the only reason ravi isn't properly a main character yet is because he is living life in a whole other genre to the rest of the 118. they're all in a soap opera and meanwhile ravi's in a sitcom and they're the co-workers he gossips about. the rest of them are having crises or being in hospitals and ravi's biggest problem is figuring out buck's dating life
