#they are autistic

[thaltro]

Which sanses in this fandom you think are the most autism GO!

Error and ink probably

Ink: doesn’t understand social cues , definitely has Alexithymia, wears loose baggy clothes and can’t wear shoes cause of sensory issues, struggles with expressing emotions to the correct scenarios, probably struggles with lower empathy, he hyperfixates and probably stims, headcannon he can fall into negative stimming like self biting and picking when he’s overwhelmed, and like any good autistic rep is demonized/infantilized to hell and back by the fandom (side note he definitely has adhd)

Error: his sensory issues are wild especially with his fear of touch, if he could have headphones he would wear them 24/7, I head cannon him struggling with AFRID with his safe foods being chocolate, he probably goes non vocal when overstimulated, he litrally blue screens which I interpret as sometimes a autistic shut down, he definitely struggles with socialization and instead of getting into social situations safely re-enacts them with his puppets, he has hyperfixations like on undernovela, has a overwhelming feeling of things not being *right* and needing it to be *right*, also wears loose baggy clothes he can stim with. Also like any good autistic rep is demonized/infantilized to hell and back by the fandom.

The moment my therapist finally, and fully understood that I’m autistic was halfway into me explaining myself experimenting on my own brain chemistry after reading a report that people with ADHD get dopamine hits from sweet things that can combat some of the ADHD bs, buying a large container of Nutella, and eating a spoonful every afternoon to see if I could overcome the executive dysfunction for several months, then going without to see if there was a difference.

Not sure why bobs burgers is trending. But I do know that I love bobs burgers and the belcher family is so autistic and I love them, I have cried about them, and I will do it again.

You have no idea how much I want an interaction between Nadja and Sean in canon, how hilarious it would be

Imagine Sean inviting Laszlo and Nadja over for a movie night, except at one point Charmaine goes to the kitchen and Laszlo for some reason leaves the room.

Nadja and Sean... the only two left in the room, looking at each other terribly uncomfortable :

Sean is trying somehow to break the ice and suggests Nadja some appetizers, she takes one in her hand, makes a face because the smell disgusts her, distracts Sean by pointing at the back of the room and throws the food on the floor.

Except Sean saw the food being thrown, so he looks at Nadja, deadpan.

"You know... you just had to tell me if you didn't like it."

"Oh yeah Shee-awn.. sorry."

"No big deal..."

Honey is autistic

Guy has ADHD

I will not indulge further (yes i will)

When honey has a melt down Guy will start to talk about there special interest because he got hyper fixated on it when they two first started living together, so he just knows random facts from when he was hyper fixated on it and from honey.

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

[callmemanatee]

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

Sometimes it feels like everyone around me is speaking in a secret language and I'm the only one who doesn't know it.

This is the highest compliment I could receive on my art

[inkskinned]

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
