#wade is adhd

[colaghost]

One of my favorite little details in Deadpool and Wolverine was when Logan asks Wade, “Have you been checked for ADHD?” because it shows that Logan knows the signs, PROBABLY, from teaching all the mutant kids at Xavier’s and I just think that’s really sweet.

[icarusredwings]

-Logan has learned that Wade is very Auditory senstive and will catch him humming, harmonizing with the song where there isn't any but where he thinks there should be other voices overlapping. If he has his headphones in and is scrolling his phone or sewing up his suit he will start automatically singing back up notes, humming and trying to match pitch in order to stimulate himself.

At first it was annoying as fuck but now? It's odd. He could have SWORN that song had extra notes? Oh yeah.. Wades not here.. huh. Music sounded better with him around honestly.. without him, it feels like the song isn't complete.

Thinking about Wade being one of the best mercs that there is job completion wise, his ratio must be somewhere close to 1:53 seeing as that's how unlikely he is to not complete a job one way or another right?

I feel like this ultimately is terrifying to actually witness.

Logan seeing just how much work Wade puts into his job and hearing stories from Vanessa of finding him sharpening knifes while staring at her while she slept in dead silence or finding maps, photos, very detailed plans laid out about his next kill down to where he lives, how long it would take for the police to reach him if he uses his gun and how difficult it would be to clean up if he used his katanas, etc. Everything is laid out from the second he steps out the door to the moment he gets back home.

Now Al's blind. So he gets into the bad habit of leaving everything out, giving Logan the chance to snoop, looking over the plans only to realize- holy shit. He has everything from how many vents are in his house to which neighbors might be a problem AND plans to deter them.

He comes to realize that all that over thinking Wade does and his one track mind makes him the perfect killer. Most killers have other motives. Wade just needs the dopamine of completely the task and moving on to the next one.

I can see him coming out of the bathroom to see Wade sharpening his tools while looking absolutely pissed but he's just focused.

"... wade?"

The once scrunched face man glances up at him and suddenly has the most confused puppy face before smiling. "Hi Wolvie. Finally awake, sleeping beauty?"

"..you good?"

"Hm?? Oh- Yeah I just got a job later." And thats all he says before going back to glaring, frowning at the metals, trying his hardest to get it damn near perfect.

You never really would expect someone so affectionate to be so serious about killing people, even taking intimidation jobs these days, as well as working for children.

And he never is kidding about the price that he sets. Sometimes, the price is calculated based on time and the amount of ammo he'd be using. Other times, it was a supreme pizza with banana peppers. So when he gets back he will be expecting his pizza with banana peppers. Dont let him down.

This works out sometimes. Other times, he gets too excited and says he'll do it for significantly less than what he should charge, but hey- it's all about that rush of serotonin once the jobs done. Nothing else matters.

thinking about Deadpool taking adderall for the first time and it makes him super super chill and calm, so much that Logan is terrified and almost call an ambulance

[wade-fucking-wilson]

Hyperfixating not in a quirky way, but in more of an “I’m hyperfixated on old man yaoi and even thinking about them makes me wanna slam my head into a wall” way

[drac0line1nn1t]

Logan: You wanna fuckin treat me like a cat? Fine.

Wade: Peanut please don't do this- you don't have to do this-

*Logan pushes Wade's lucky red mug off the counter*

*Wade falls to his knees dramatically weeping over his favourite mug*

One of the hills I will die on; Logan and Wade are autism & ADHD coded and a classic example of neurodivergent friends finding each other.

(Also Logan is Bisexual and Wade is Pansexual. And I will not be accepting criticism on that one.)

[ramblingautisticman]

Logan carrying a backpack whenever he's out with Wade full of safe foods, medicine, fidget toys, sunglasses and noise canceling headphones.

He is always prepared- the grocery store is too loud and bright? Logan is placing the headphones gently onto Wade's head and handing him the sunglasses.

The restaurant doesn't serve one of Wade's safe foods? They are leaving and going to the park for an impromptu picnic with the food Logan brought.

Wade is having a bad pain day while they are out? Logan is pulling out the medicine (curtesy of Beast) and a bottle of water from his bag, making sure Wade takes it before they continue their walk.

Logan notices Wade getting overstimulated and fidgety? He is handing over Wade's favourite fidget toy and leading them to a quiet area for a second to let Wade calm down.

grad school + vigilantism = too much stress | my peter design | more mundane sillies

[overstimulatedhandler]

I just know Logan will be trying to sleep and at like three am he just turns in the bed and see Wade laying on his side watching tiktoks giggling to himself and he just sighs and smacks the back of his head and says “go the fuck to sleep unless you want me to break that fucking phone”

Wade Crashes

wade wilson x male reader x logan howlett

literally one of my fav scenes of the movie was when wolvie asked dp if he’d been tested for adhd

It had been a long day. Wade had killed some guys, Logan had gone grocery shopping and you’d helped him out with that. Normally that would tire anyone out but Wade was bouncing off the walls like a squirrel on cocaine.

“Bub, you good?” Logan asked as he unpacked groceries and watched you stand on your tippy toes and put more groceries away.

Wade didn’t seem to process the question for a moment before turning towards the two of you and grinning widely. “Yeah, peanut, I’m fucking great!”

You turned and stared at him for a moment before glancing at Logan and sighing. “Bet ya a beer that he crashes in five minutes.”

“Bet ya two he crashes in two, bub,” Logan replied in a whisper as he kept a watchful eye on Wade who was still jumping around and flapping his hands.

The hyperness continued for a bit. Wade hopped around and picked up knick-knacks and put them back down and moved around before groaning loudly and collapsing on the couch.

“My head hurts,” he mumbled.

Logan chuckled and glanced over at you. “It was two minutes, bub, so you’re buying,” he said with a smirk before walking over to Wade and leaning over the back of the couch.

“Hey bub, need anything?” He asked Wade with a sympathetic smile.

Wade mumbled painkillers and Logan glanced over to you and nodded at the cabinet. You grabbed them and threw them over. Logan took two out and nudged Wade’s mouth open with his other hand. He popped the pills in and closed his mouth.

“Swallow,” he said gruffly before glancing back at you.

Wade swallowed and sat up. “You guys were whispering about me,” he mumbled annoyed.

You and Logan glanced at each other and then you walked over to stand next to him. Logan pulled you against his side and looked down at Wade who was now twiddling his thumbs.

“Bub, we’re pretty positive you have ADHD,” he said as kindly as he could.

“And its why you keep crashing all the time,” you said, butting in.

Wade blinked a few times and then glanced away. “Can we talk about it when my headaches gone?” He mumbled.

Logan glanced down at you. You nodded and then so did he after getting your approval. You two walked around the couch and sat on either side of Wade.

“We’re here for you, baby,” you said with a smile.

“I know,” Wade muttered before leaning his head on your shoulder.

Logan smiled and put his arm behind Wade and the three of you sat contently.

Responding to tags.

Mood swings is not the correct term for this seeing as the chemicals in our brain are quite physically being altered.

I often relate it to being given a list and being told that you MUST get it done OR ELSE and you do NOT want to know what or else is- except you can't finish the list because of matters out of your control so you become stressed out and almost feel betrayed.

Its hard to explain but I dont think mood swings would be the correct termology seeing as A. Its not caused by our doing, mood swings are ussually caused by the person being "triggered" by something that makes them upset personally when regularly it wouldn't upset someone.

For example I think about being hangry and getting upset over something that is simple because of that and then immediately becoming happier because the body is fed, making the hormones and chemicals in your brain happy right? This is something that can be changed quickly you know? Or that is unpredictable.

But Rejection sensitivity is ussually caused by other peoples action and we know its ussually irrational. Its our brains being dysregulated because the plan/ routine was disrupted, like when an autistic person cant find their shoe and now are running late, messing up their entire schedule.

I can only explain it as an intense feeling of disappointment, sometimes if caused by someone close to you it will feel personal despite the fact you can mentally think "thats silly to be upset about" but you just... cant stop.

Sometimes it can last hours and makes you feel very isolated and alone, it makes you sometimes have panic attacks too.

The absolute worst thing you could do is make fun of us for it because we KNOW it's stupid but we cant stop being upset. We are upset at ourselves for being upset, so mocking us would make it worse and feel more alone.

Logan does a good job as an example here, figuring out what the main problem is, giving him a bit of space, but not letting him feel alone.

A mood swing (to me) would be if you wanted a cookie but someone ate the last one, getting upset, only to realize there is more, now feeling better because the issue is solved.

With rejection sensitivity, it's like going to the same cookie shop every week to get the same cookie and talk to the same people. A routine. Well you had to stay late for work and now the cookie place is closed. You can still get a different cookie, hell, you can get a cookie that's almost identical, the problem is still not solved. Providing a replacement item sometimes helps but ussually its the routine being disrupted that causes the "break down" not the absence of the cookie.

OR another example is like your partner/parent saying that pizza is for dinner and then you come home to tacos. You still like tacos but your brain is now disrupted because you already mentally prepared for and looked forward to pizza. This makes me very sensitive. Don't tell me you're making pasta at 8 am and then I come home at 8 pm to tacos UNLESS you call me a few hours in advance so I can register it with my mind. God that sounds so pathetic. "Yeah I cry if I get tacos instead of pizza except it actually has nothing to do with the food at all and its the idea of the routine/ list being ruined"

Does that make sense??

I hope this dosn't sound like im scolding anyone or offensive either, but they are definitely different to me.

Thinking about Wade's Adhd and rejection sensitivity. Getting upset about inconveniences he can't control even when not mentally small, just becoming irationally overly upset over things that don't really affect much.

How he's been talking about a certain sandwitch all day long. Since noon, throughout the entire mission, and now he's yapping about it again on the 6 block walk to said sandwitch joint ran by a small immigrant family.

He keeps talking about how great it is. Logan didn't have this place in his timeline, so Wade is ampled excited to show him. Logan jokes with him how he sounds more excited to eat this sub then he is to suck dick.

Wade, with the most serious face, goes, "I can get dick anytime. They're only open 4 days a week and only from 1 to 5."

Logan notes this in the back of his mind for the future.

Just as they get there, Wade is telling Logan that they used to be open 10-5 but their daughter went to college, so now they are on their own. How these people have been so kind to him and told him that they started this shop for their daughter specifically. To give her a good life, they've been working hard to send her to college since day one.

As they roll up to the door, Wade's face drops. All of the glee and joy from his body evaporates and immediately he's just staring at the sign.

"Sorry, we're closed. Come back -" and then a small plastic clock that shown when they opened again tomorrow at 1 pm.

They're too late.

"Oh... well, that sucks." Logan mutters, hands in his pockets as he watches Wade look so utterly disappointed that even he begins to feel bad for him.

He puts a hand on his shoulder. "We can always come again tomorrow."

"B-but I...i wanted.." He starts to tear up, quickly moving to wipe his eyes, sniffling and shaking his head. "It's fine... okay.. tomarrow." He whispers, not only feeling pathetic for being so upset over a sandwitch store being closed, but now they had to walk all the way back home.

"...are you okay?"

"Yeah.. it's fine.." But it's clearly not fine. He fully understands that they were late, and thats why they were closed. He's not angry at them. He's not angry at logan either. Not even himself, really. He must have miscalculated the time. A pure mistake.

But on the way home, it's very obvious that this is a big deal. He's quiet. Staring at the ground as he walks, biting his nails, wiping a tear once inawhile.

It makes Logan frown, uncomfortable with the silence, knowing his mind was no where near silent at the moment. He knew it was turmoil in there, a loud and pouting mess.

"....do you want to get something else?"

"...no..." He whispers.

Logan observes his body language, watching how his eyes kept flickering and filling with a tear every now and again. How distant he becomes and almost... hugs himself... at one point. He knows that this is a much different response from when small him throws a tantrum or sulks. He looks as if he genuienly didn't want to be upset but just... is. As if he couldn't stop his overwhelming emotions from flooding his mind.

He takes his hand. "...is it because you wanted to show me?"

"No.. I mean.. kinda? But I just... I really wanted it."

"We can get it tomarrow?"

"I know. I can't... its hard to explain."

Logan gives his hand a squeeze, talking quietly.

"... is it a safe food?"

Wade nods, wiping another tear on his sleeve. It was one of the few things he could eat without puking. But that still wasn't why he was upset.

"Do you want me to make you a sub?"

He shakes his head. "It won't be the same."

"Im sure I can make it the sa-"

"No.. I mean... yes?? Im sorry, Peanut. It's... It's an experience thing.. I've had it in my head all day to go and get a sub from them. And now I can't check it off until tomorrow."

Oooh.. that makes sense. He had a checklist in his head. Something he needed to finish before he could go to bed. And now that this wasn't finished? He would have a hard time moving forward.

When they arrive home, Wade goes to hide in the corner of their bedroom, quiet and trying to think of something else he could do to distract his mean brain from yelling at him.

'What are you doing? You were supposed to go to the shop! Stop being lazy and just go! Come on! We've been waiting all day for this! ... Logan said he would eat a sub with us...But we were so good today...' They said.

"I know.." he muttered, putting on his headphones, hoping to drown them out.

It doesn't work. Now hes just laying in bed, rotting and staring at the ceiling while tears travel down the sides of his face. He's breathing a bit shakily.

'Why are we crying? Its just a sandwitch. It has nothing to do with the sandwich dipshit!! Are we bad..? Did we misbehave? Is that why Logan dosn't want to eat with us? Hey! Hello?? Were kind of starving here. Haven't even had anything today since breakfast. Im not hungry anymore. You're really pathetic you know that? Almost 50 years old crying over a fucking sandwitch.'

They were so loud that even with the volume up so high, he didn't hear Logan come in.

"Wade?" He waves a hand in front of him, watching as he jumps, looking up with such puffy red eyes.

"W-what?"

He puts down a plate. It's a sub.

Looking at it, he glances between him and the food multiple times, watching as Logan takes it, taking a bite and sitting next to him.

He doesn't say a word.

Now, Wade is crying for a different reason, his eyes softening as he smiles, gently leaning into him. "... Can I have a bite?"

"Of my dick or my sub?" He asks, glancing to him with a teasing look painted on his raised brow.

Wade giggles, nuzzling into his shoulder as he takes a big breath, sighing. Glancing at the door, he mutters. "Do you see this shit? And you all call me the nasty one."

Logan only smirks, a bit too proudly. "Says the guy who once-"

"Woah woah woah peanut! That's enough. This episode is rated pg. Sorry about that. God, such a potty mouth." He snickers, sitting up as Logan lets him take a bite from the end of the sub, Lady and the Tramp style.
