#tbh kids just say shit like that #I wish we had more suspicion about conan on kobayashi-sensei’s part #someone who works with kids and is familiar with them would probably notice he’s a little bit odd #maybe she would recommend the mouris consider getting him screened for autism or something

#<- prev I'm so obsessed with this. could you imagine. #conan: NO I DON'T have auti-- hey hold on a moment. if I get diagnosed with autism it could throw everyone off my scent!! #because SHINICHI isn't autistic! I'm a genius!!! <- Shinichi is autistic.

Ran, afterwards, wanting to be educated, reading a pamphlet on autism internet discussion on autistic experiences:

"This explains so much about Shinichi... oh wait hold on, a bit suspicious that they're both autistic and have the exact same special interests and stims on top of everything else 🤔"

this page is so funny to me,, imagine being kobayashi sensei in this scenario 😭😭

#no but for real when I started reading Conan at like thirteen I didn't really even know what autism was #but it was one of the earliest (accidental?) examples of representation that I recognised #specifically the scene in File 3 where Conan is stimming by kicking a soccer ball while thinking about the case #and Ran points out that it's something Shinichi does a lot #(and then Conan gets so lost in thought that he unthinkingly kicks the ball at Kogoro)#I didn't even know what stimming was back then but I Recognised(TM) the rep!!!#autism #conan #kobayashi sensei #ayumi #ran #secret identity #identity shenanigans #stealth what stealth #shinichi #task failed successfully
