Been caught up with house renovations so haven't been able to draw for like 4 days and I'm struggling. Like as much as art frustrates me I think I sometimes forget that it was my original and still is my biggest special interest and if I don't look at or draw art I crumble at the base
#autism#actually autistic#when i started becoming aware of my hyperfixes and spins#i listed off things like shows movies games books#but forgot that since i was like 5 i have been touching pencil to paper#and everytime i do i just relax#it regulates me so hard#i had doodle areas on my school work so that when the environment was stressful i would take a doodle break#drawing as a stim

Oh, my godddd, miss me with this shit.
Stimming just means 'self-stimulating behaviour". It is anything one does to give oneself A Good Sensory Feeling. That can mean flapping and rocking and spinning but it can also mean twirling your hair, chewing your pencil, blinking repeatedly, singing (under your breath or otherwise), and playing with fucking stim toys...
and everyone stims. I mean everyone. Your mom stims. Your therapist stims. Ableist Neurotypical Steve From Marketing stims. e v e r y o n e no exceptions.
autistic people stim MORE often than neurotypical people and in different ways, for a wide variety of reasons. but you can't gatekeep basic human behaviour because you're tired of people on the internet thinking you're cringe or whatever, jfc

Autistic Spencer Reid
Before Autism Acceptance Month ends, I wanted to share a list of my autistic Spencer Reid headcanons! (I've been meaning to do this but have continuously forgotten haha.) Most of these are semi-rooted in canon, though others just felt right to me.
Canāt handle the feeling of the metal against his skin, which is why he wears his watch over his sleeve. (Noted Reid wears his watch over his sleeve in S2E9 "The Last Word," and it is further noticed in future episodes.)
Covers his ears whenever heās on a call; due to auditory processing issues, the background noise will feel level with the audio from the phone. Even if the room is mostly silent, he still does it, partially out of habit, partially because it just makes him feel more comfortable (rooted in canon, first noted in S2E10 "Lessons Learned," noticed in multiple episodes).
Stims in several discreet ways such as pacing, spinning in chairs, and spinning pencils/pens. They're less noticeable, a more ānormalizedā way for him to stim. He doesnāt quite have the confidence to do stims as obvious as hand flapping in the company of those he isnāt familiar/comfortable with (rooted in canon, noticed in multiple episodes).
Background noise can feel equally as loud as inside noise, making it harder to focus (rooted in canon, first noted in S2E17 "Distress").
Routine is a must, and he expects that everyone else must stick to a routine as well. (S3E2 "In Name and Blood" Gideon doesnāt show up to his routine chess match with Reid, and he stays overnight in his office waiting to playāeventually falling asleep, still waiting.)
He says things directly, seemingly without filter. It can cause people to think he is being rude, but his intention is not to be rude. Heās stating what he believes to be an objective truthāa fact. (S3E8 "Lucky," he implies Morgan may not really believe in God, and the entire plane stares at him & in S7E13 "Snake Eyes," he makes a comment on Rossi's age that prompts a disbelieving response.)
Bright lights and loud noises are an absolute no. He expresses that āclubs arenāt his thingā (S4E9 "52 Pickup").
Hunger is a weird feeling for him that tends to go unnoticed, and he may forget to eat if not prompted. The rest of the team does their ultimate best to remind him to eat, and Rossi takes particular notice of the textures he likes and doesnāt like, in case restaurant outings are necessary.
Eating is also difficult sometimes due to sensory discomfort around textures and smells, leading to Reid avoiding meals. He can feel like he's going to throw upāand as a germaphobe, that is out of the question.
Suffers from light sensitivity due to sensory issues, which leads to migraines and discomfort. He carries a pair of sunglasses with him at all times to try and ward off the headaches. (S6E12 "Corazon")
Despises sand with a passion. He absolutely abhors it. If you ever take him to a beach, he refuses to take his shoes off. (S8E5 "The Good Earth," Reid explains to JJ that he doesn't like the beach.)
Struggles with over-stimulation and can get distracted by the tiniest thing, making it difficult to focus. (S8E10 "The Lesson," Reid explains to Blake that he is sitting in an isolated place because he cannot focus because of the background noise.)
Horrible spatial awarenessāoften trips over or into things. Walks into doorframes and doors often, along with the sides and corners of tables.
Is typically touch-averse and only allows touches from those who he is close to or if he initiates it.

random httyd headcanons
eret snorts when he laughs really hard
everyone has a crush on him at some point or another & fights for his attention (in their own ways)
eret also has a HUGE soft spot for tidal class dragons. HUGE.
when snotlout is geuninely furious, like, fucking pissed, he's weirdly quiet in a way that makes everyone uncomfortable (& a little scared)
out of the gang, def the best singer (when he actually puts effort into it, but he's usually tipsy or alone for that)
fishlegs will shuffle his deck of dragon cards as a form of stimming/self soothing
excellent at shuffling cards btw. whenever anyone in the gang plays a card game/gambles, they make him shuffle the cards. yes even when he's not involved in the game at all. (it's hot & mesmerizing)
tuffnut has itemized lists in his head of what each of his friends like and dislike & will randomly inflict the information he knows upon them & always takes them by surprise
bc of this he's actually a very good gift giver, ties into ruffnut being an excellent shopper. he figured out what to get, she's able to find it.
ruffnut actually does love shopping whilst being excellent at it & dragging astrid out to do it is smth she also loves
gets astrid into it too, bc ruff actually finds the coolest shit. even has a collection of old, small knives from around the world. she always has an elaborate story abt it (either true or made up by her but no one can truly tell)
astrid has slivers consistently in her hands from the wooden handle of her axe & the amt of times she's had to pull it from tree, targets, etc. she never notices & they don't bother her
one day eret asked her if she knew dragon eggs exploded when they hatched & she thought abt fist fighting odin, thor, & then eret before saying yes through gritted teeth
hiccup can spin his pencils in his hand between his fingers & has accidentally had them launch & hit ppl in the face
toothless thinks it's a game & will shoot the pencil out of the air & destroy it (hiccup has to make a lot of new charcoal pencils)
hiccup taught fishlegs & astrid how to draw
#httyd#hiccup haddock#astrid hofferson#fishlegs ingerman#snotlout jorgenson#ruffnut thorston#tuffnut thorston#eret son of eret#rose rambles#httyd headcanons#just whatever's in my brain rn bc yea

like what r ur stims
"I- Neurodivergent??" he chuckles a little.
"I don't know, we don't really have psychiatrists down here." he shrugs a little.
"I spin things when I'm holding them, I toss things and then catch them, I chew on my pens and pencils, I repeat what people say a lot, I like to do the middle finger - just the flexing is nice, I kick my feet when I'm on a barstool, I spin in chairs." he thinks, "that's pretty much it." he shrugs.

can u talk more about wren being autistic!! >_<
YEA OFC!!!!
wren has a set routine/schedule that he follows everyday, and if something unplanned happens he can find it difficult to adjust
he doesn't pick up on certain social cues and so can be seen as blunt/rude (also because he has a hard time reading how people feel when they only hint at it & don't explicitly say it out loud)
tends to hyperfocus on certain tasks/hobbies (ex: tinkering with doodads making lil gadgets etc)
reduced facial expressiveness/some difficulty expressing emotions thru facial expressions, tone, etc but gets better with practice
sleeps/rests a lot due to being overwhelmed by sensory input throughout the day
prefers working alone most of the time cuz he feels his memory is more reliable & generally functions better when alone
used to be way less socially adept when he was younger, but due to studying social skills over time he's become good at socializing conversation-wise
really dislikes foods with goopy/slimy textures. likes strong flavors like spicy foods and likes the stimulation from crunchy foods
he doesn't like fishing because he's impatient and will fidget the entire time he waits and also cuz he dislikes the smell of seafood. prefers mining & combat/fighting monsters because it's a steady source of activity n he likes to keep his hands busy -> which is why he makes lots of gestures w his hands/arms when talking and stims by tapping his fingers on objects, spinning things, rubbing his clothes, etc. he also chews on pencils/pens when using them -3-

None of the bat children are neurotypical here's some stims
Dick is tippity-tapping away on every surface, making some funky fresh beats on the table in the middle of a meeting until someone tells him to "Fucking stop it, Dick", not to mention he's never sitting correctly in a chair. Also did excited flappy hands a lot as a kid, much less now.
Jason chews on shit. All of the things. Nibbled off the eraser on every pencil he's ever had, bit the rubber grips off of pens, chews on the inside of his mouth, bites his nails, etc etc. Took to gum after the ninth time he bit his nails too much and they bled. Chews the fingertips of his gloves when he's thinking and they are covered in holes.
Tim twirls things in his hands and twists rubber bands and hair elastics back and fourth. He spins his staff around and makes a point of showing off the tricks he can do without even thinking about it. Rocks a little when he's stressed out, not uncommon to see him rocking away in front of the Bat-Computer working on a case. Whistles all the time, mimics bird calls.
Steph: Pop sounds. Will be baking/doing chores and making popping noises the whole way. Knows how to make the water drop sound as well. When she was younger she did that thing while she was standing where she would twist and let her arms rag doll around her (I don't know how to describe it but if you've done it you're picking up what I'm putting down).
Cass: In a similar vein as Dick's tapping, Cass snaps her fingers and makes little patterns. Repeatedly cracks knuckles and other joints. She's one of those people who can twist in a very unassuming way and the most guttural crack comes from her spine and everyone's just like 0.O
Duke: Humming and knuckle cracking, drums his fingers on the table and is tapping his foot so fast it makes the speedsters turn their heads. Dedicated a decent period of time learning how to make his tongue into different shapes.
Damian: Really likes soft/fluffy textures and will rub the fabric against his lips and face, and just generally brush his hands over it repeatedly. He will sit with Titus for hours petting him, not just because he likes petting the dog but because Titus' fur is a texture he enjoys.

Do my symptoms align with autism?
Iāve been looking into whether I might be autistic recently. Iām not self-diagnosing. I just suspect I might have autism, and I wanted to put this here to see what other people think.
Reasons why I think I am:
1. Stimming
This is definitely the main one. I think I stim way more than a neurotypical would, even when I was a kid. I pace, I walk in circles, I spin around over and over and over and over again and I donāt really get dizzy. I especially like to listen to music while doing this.
Before spinning in circles, I used to pace around in circles with my hands clenched together. It sort of helped me focus and think and daydream.
I do the spinning thing multiple times a day, and if Iām forced to go a few days without it, I get antsy and a little frustrated. (When I spin, I do it on the hardwood floor, keeping my balance by placing my hands on the back of the couch, and doing it on carpet is a lot harder. This is my favorite ātypeā of stim, so if Iām on a vacation where weāre at a hotel without hardwood floors, thatās why I canāt do it sometimes. But then I will anyway on carpet because I just have to.)
I do tend to rock when Iām by myself ā or, swaying is more like it, but yeah, rocking too. Iāll sway a bit more than I will rock.
Iām literally pacing in circles as I type this out lol.
2. Hyperfixations/special interests
(Are those the same thing, or two different things? Please correct me if theyāre classified as different things.)
I have what Iād call special interests ā gender, Amphibia, Dork Diaries. I look up genders and try to learn as much about them as possible, everyday.
For Amphibia and Dork Diaries, I usually just read fanfic or write my own. The other thing I do a lot is daydreaming, though, and those are the top 2 things I daydream about. Iām constantly in my head, and Iām usually daydreaming in the back of my mind, like, all day. (About those two things.)
The thing about my hyperfixations are that I donāt talk to other people about them. (I donāt like talking in general, really.) I just keep them to myself and learn about them/daydream about them by myself. I never felt a need to share and I donāt infodump on people.
3. Fidgeting
Iām not sure if this is the same as stimming, but Iām separating these two.
Usually when Iām sitting still, Iām fidgeting. Iāll be tapping my pencil or foot 90% of the time. I do it a lot, and I donāt even notice sometimes when I do.
I donāt know where to put this either, but I also bite my nails. I donāt just bite them either, I pick them off. It calms me down and helps me relax or gives me something to do when Iām nervous or just plain bored. (Iām well aware this isnāt healthy, please donāt attack me in the comments section.)
4. Procrastination (executive dysfunction?)
I know lots of people procrastinate, but I think what I experience lines up more with executive dysfunction. (Which Iāve learned is also a trait of ADHD, so I donāt know if I have that instead.)
Itās so so hard to focus on a school task or something thatās boring. Or even something thatās exciting, like writing on a fanfic or book, I procrastinate on so much. I set plans to do things but I donāt get them done. Even when itās something stupidly easy to do, sometimes I just donāt do it. And when itās hard, when I donāt even know where to start, itās nearly impossible to start. (I usually force myself to get it done anyway, with big projects, but with smaller things and little homework assignments, I donāt always do. Then I kick myself for it later.)
5. Routine
I eat the same food every day for lunch, at school. (Uncrustables sandwich, yogurt, applesauce, and/or yogurt with m&m toppings I can put it in.) At home, I eat different foods for lunch ā I make my own cheese burrito when we have soft shell tacos and shredded cheese. If that isnāt available, I make cheese sandwiches. If that isnāt available, sometimes I remember other things that are quick and easy to make for lunch ā like pizza rolls. And if I donāt have that either, sometimes Iāll just skip lunch entirely. Or eat a small snack that doesnāt require effort to make whatsoever, but itās usually not enough to qualify for ālunchā.
I donāt wear the same clothes everyday, but I never go shopping. I could wear the same clothes for years and be fine with it (as long as Iāve not outgrown them). The only time I get new clothes is when I see a shirt I really like. Which is usually Stitch (Lilo and Stitch, anyone?)
Itās really hard to break routine.
So thereās this thing at my school, where you can tutor/help out at an elementary school for service hours, and eventually get a scholarship to a 2-year college. The scholarship thing is major.
It took me months just to email the teacher and ask when I could come in. Iām probably severely behind on my volunteer hours. And the stupid thing is, now itās not even hard. I just went on the first day, and it was established that I would do it every day, so there wasnāt a way I could back out anyway. And now I go and itās no problem. Itās so stupid.
6. Social Situations
I might have social anxiety, I donāt know. I get anxious at the thought of new situations, having to meet new people, etc. I heavily dislike talking to people I donāt know. Itās why I prefer not to talk to the cashier at McDonaldās, or rehearse what Iām going to say at the restaurant.
When people ask, āHi, how are you?ā, I answer āGood, how are you?ā They say something back, maybe mention a tiny bit of whatās going on in their lives, and then itās over. For that, I have a pre-recorded answer. For other situations, as Iāll mention later, Iām actually mostly comfortable.
I speak pretty softly, and sometimes I have to force myself to a louder volume.
7. I prefer to do things on my own
Iām independent in a lot of ways, unless I need help. (And, um, not financially independent or anything, I still live with my parents.) And even when I need help, like with homework, itās hard to let other people help me sometimes. I prefer doing things on my own.
Reasons why I think Iām not:
1. Iām fine at social interaction.
I usually pick up on social cues, and communication has never been much of an issue for me. (Sometimes I will sort of freeze up or trail off when talking, and suddenly my brain wonāt make my mouth say things. Aside from that, I communicate well.) I understand that bad social interaction was a pretty big indicator of autism, but Iām not bad at it, really.
Actually, the one difference from this is that I do have pretty bad eye contact. I try to look at peopleās eyes when talking because itās polite, but then I look away, and then I look back, and then I look away, and I donāt know how long Iām supposed to maintain eye contact before looking away again. I donāt like it.
I am deaf, and I wear Cochlear Implants for me to hear. My social interaction is affected by this, as noisy situations are notoriously difficult for me to hear in. Iām asking āWhat?ā multiple times a day lol. Sometimes I canāt hear a word the other kid is saying in school, and I just smile and nod because thatās all I can do, because itās just too noisy. (Iām throwing this out here in case itās something you might need to take into consideration, but it is completely unrelated to any potential autism.)
2. I donāt have hypersensitivity (I donāt think so)
Loud sounds donāt really bother me, nor do bright lights, or textures, or certain flavors or whatever. I eat the same thing a lot because of routine, not because of uncomfortable flavors or food textures. I think there have been times when everything was just a little too much. Then I usually find the nearest bathroom to calm myself down in. I donāt know if this is overstimulation or not, tho. Or if itās specific to neurodivergency, or just me being an introvert and getting overwhelmed by people. And itās not that often at all.
3. Very little aggression
I know that like a lot of things, autism is a spectrum. One of the symptoms is aggression, and I have very little of that. Usually when Iām frustrated with homework and my momās trying to help, Iāll get snappish with her (and then apologize later, because she wasnāt doing anything wrong and only trying to help).
Sometimes I do feel really mad, but I just grit my teeth and deal with it internally instead of lashing out. Like arguing in my head until Iāve calmed down and moved on.
4. Meltdowns/Shutdowns
Iām fairly sure I donāt have either of these. I think thatās also a major autism thing, one that I donāt have.
Things That I Canāt Put Into a Category Because I Donāt Know Whether Itās Indicative of Autism or Literally Just a Me Thing:
ā¢ Repeating words and phrases: I donāt do that out loud, but I will in my head
ā¢ Vocal stims: I very rarely do these, and if I do hum or make a noise, itās usually entirely involuntary, usually because I was excited. I donāt mean to
ā¢ Repeating words: I very rarely do that also, but it has happened before. (It happened today once, when we were playing a game. Nothing came of it, it wasnāt weird, I just repeated a word my mom said ā I canāt remember what it was, not a bad one though)
ā¢ Facial expression: I donāt think I have a blank-face that many autistic people do. Iām often smiling when Iām happy, or laughing at things that are funny. (Which arenāt even that funny to other people. Sarcasm makes me laugh a lot. I laugh a lot more easily than other people do.) I feel like occasionally it is hard to force myself into a facial expression if Iām not feeling that way
ā¢ Unusual posture: I literally just looked this up. Iām basically running through all of the autism symptoms and explaining mine, and this is one of them. I think I might have unusual posture. One of the things is shifting all your weight into one leg, and thatās something I definitely do, especially when I have to stand still. (And whenever I have to stand really still, and Iām not putting all weight into one leg, sometimes my knees will lock, and itāll make me light-headed. I almost passed out one time from doing that. Never again.) I donāt really know if my posture is unusual aside from that. It might be and I just never noticed. Or it might not. I donāt know.
ā¢ Clumsiness: I never considered myself clumsy, but my brother has told me that he thinks I am. (Considering heās my younger brother and says a lot of stuff to annoy me, take this with a grain of salt.)
ā¢ Oh, speaking of: metaphors. I think for the most part I understand them. Like grain of salt. And if I donāt, then I look it up.
ā¢ Sarcasm: kind of hit or miss with me. Sometimes I think my brain knows the other person is being sarcastic, because thereās just no way theyāre serious about what they just said. But my brain makes me treat it like they are being serious, especially if their tone sounds serious. Itās hard to tell sometimes. But when I do get sarcasm, when their tone sounds obviously sarcastic, then usually itās funny and makes me laugh
ā¢ I donāt like being away from home for a long time. Even a week gets me extremely homesick, and it feels like itās getting worse as I get older. Maybe because I know Iāll have to move out eventually, or move away to college. Moving away for college, or moving out and far away, TERRIFIES me. This may not be an autistic thing, but I donāt know, so I put it here. Maybe itās because my routine and my whole life would be upended. I donāt know.
ā¢ Speaking in monotone: Much like my facial expressions, I feel like I speak pretty ānormallyā. I donāt have a monotone voice usually. (I feel like sometimes I do, though? Not often)
ā¢ Putting pressure on the front of your feet: Apparently thatās a thing. I donāt think I do that. I donāt think Iāve done that in the past
ā¢ Decision-making: Related to the executive dysfunction thing. I think I put off big decisions. (Iāve only somewhat-but-not-really decided which college Iām going to. And I might change my mind.)
ā¢ Sometimes when I try to joke, people think Iām being rude. I donāt know if thatās a tone issue on my part, or if the joke is in poor taste or seems more mean than just a joke (when I only ever intended for it to be a joke). Also for clarification, none of my jokes are ever racist or homophobic or anything, and I never try to be mean when I joke
ā¢ Special object: I donāt think I have one, unless you consider my phone. I donāt go anywhere without it lol. But like little things to fidget with, that bring me comfort, I donāt really have that. I just fidget with my hands, I guess.
ā¢ Verbal Instructions: Those are really hard for me to follow. If I only have verbal instructions and not readable ones, you can bet itās a lot harder to get the thing done. I usually need a lot of clarification or things repeated to me, although thatās partially due to deafness. (I donāt think entirely, though.)
Other things about me that may or may not be relevant/important for you to know:
- I am aroace (no sexual or romantic attraction for anyone)
- I think Iām aplatonic too, and mostly anattractional (or grey-attractional, if thatās a thing). Online friends are easier for me than irl friends. I donāt even know what qualifies as a friendship
- Iām deaf (but I already explained that). I do hear with my Cochlear Implants, but I know itās not that exact same as hearing people. I donāt know if thatās why Iām not as hypersensitive to loud sounds, or if Iām just not hypersensitive at all. (I donāt think this is something you could help clarify, though, seeing as itās specific to me.)
I have taken a few autism tests and gotten answers like āyou have moderate autism symptomsā or even āhigh symptomsā sometimes. For ADHD, the test answers ranged from āNoā to āPotentiallyā to āModerate ADHDā. (Donāt worry, I know that the tests arenāt meant to be substituted for the real thing. I just took them to try and see where I fit, if there were any indicators, etc.)
I am planning to talk to my mom soon and see if itās possible for me to get a diagnosis. Things arenāt too hard for me right now, but I am getting older and I genuinely donāt know how Iām going to live on my own ā which isnāt entirely related to this, but I feel like if I need help, I should get diagnosed as soon as possible. (If I have it at all.)
Basically, my reason for posting this was to get a second opinion, especially from people who are autistic themselves. Does this sound like autism or ADHD or something else entirely? (Is it possible to have both that have symptoms that cancel each other out?) Am I just neurotypical, but like, weird?
I want to be clear, I know you canāt diagnose me and I should see a professional. I just wanted a second opinion, in case itās just me overthinking everything.
Also, Iām so sorry for this being so long. Itās probably a pain to read. Iām just trying to be as specific as possible.
Hi there,
Iām sorry Iām just getting to this. My goodness this was a long inbox! Lol.
This was very thorough and detailed, so it was nice to read. Nice formatting too.
I would say some traits align. But like you said, Iām not a professional. So I canāt really say. Iām curious about what my followers think too. Hopefully some chime in.
I would recommend writing what you told me here down to bring with you during an assessment, if you have one. This will be very helpful when determining a diagnosis. As itās very detailed and thorough.
Hopefully this helps. Thank you for the inbox. I hope you have a wonderful day/night. ā„ļø

Part 2 of random thoughts and ideas for my and @incorrectranmaquotes Ranma/MHA crossover AU (There will be some general headcanons included too :P)
As mentioned in a previous post, Ranma has ADHD, but he went undiagnosed for years because... well, do you honestly believe Genma would take his son to a doctor for that?
His typical stims include bouncing his leg and absent-mindedly fiddling with objects in his hand, like squeezing stress balls (which doubles as helping him regulate his strength) or spinning a pen or pencil around his fingers (helps practice dexterity)
When Recovery Girl privately informed him of the possibility of him having ADHD... he didn't take it well...
Speaking of Recovery Girl, for a while, Ranma absolutely DID NOT trust her due to his... history with short old ladies
Jiro and Momo had to physically DRAG him to her office after he twisted his ankle (he was practising acrobatics and slipped on an unstable rock). Even after being healed, he was still very suspicious of her
Believe it or not, the boy can sing, but he doesn't do it very often. It's usually an unconscious habit to pass the time.
For a while, Ranma had this god-awful flip phone that just.. BARELY worked anymore, like I'm talking parts of the casing were broken off, it would cut out randomly and he had to very strongly resist the urge to throw it against the wall every time is messed up
Momo eventually ended up gifting him a new one. This made him mentally bluescreen for a bit because he's not used to getting such nice gifts
He actually gets kinda awkward when Momo gives him expensive gifts. He doesn't want her to feel like he's taking advantage of her wealth (Like his father would)
As a way of trying to pay her back, he ends up teaching her some martial arts and learning how to make bracelets and necklaces for her. She has kept every single one
The boy is EXTREMELY touch-starved, think that one scene from Lilo and Stitch were Lilo puts a lei on Stitch, and he just collapses
Unsurprisingly, Ranma is very out of the loop in terms of pop culture. Kaminari has not recovered
That's all for now
My brain has become slugs

autism :]] i wanna say he has ocd too, but i want to research that a bit more before i, like, fully commit to that hc (though, those with it/educated on it more than i am are welcome to share their opinions on it didbdjdn)
stims;
>chews on thingss
>cracking his knuckles n other joints
>humming
sensory issues;
>struggles to focus in busy areas
>overwhelmed by strong sounds
>loud noises djdbjdnf

other things;
>while mint is his favorite, chili dogs are tails' comfort food
>he's also super clingy w/ sonic n knuckles
>sonic's a visual thinkr
>knuckles tends to be kinda unaware of awkward moments
>meanwhile; tails is hyper-aware of awkward moments
>they all go non verbal at times
>sonic has low/no empathy
>tails has high empathy
>they all struggle with normal society stuff djebejd it's confusing
>tails pays a lot of attention to details
>they all struggle with maintaining eye contact, but sonic struggles the most
all of them are diagnosed by tails because doctor visits are rough for them
(basically i headcanon that doctors are kinda more worried about what makes sonic, tails, n knuckles so different from tiger mobians rather than focusing on making them better {it sucks being rlly different sometimes})

How did you eat pencil lead?
(Also no you shouldn't die unless it was a ton, for future reference please do not eat more pencil lead.)
ok so I was working on my assignments alright I have to draw 9 different types of maps and submit them by 29th. And here's the thing, when I get too immersed in something I start stimming. This time it was spinning my pencil and biting the end every now and then. I was SO deep in analysing the data I didn't realize which end I was bringing to my mouth. You can guess the rest.
#and i couldn't even spit it out cause it just. turned into crumbs in my mouth.#horrible taste btw would not recommend#sai answers
