#zemo x neurodiverse reader

[scuttle-buttle]

Kind of a weird ask but I never see anything with the Danny boys and a neurodiverse reader. I imagine Zemo and Laszlo would be particularly understanding and open to learning how they can best help their autistic partner. Like Zemo knows the food brands for them and always makes sure to buy the right ones for their food sensitivity. Idk sorry if this is a weird ask.

Honestly this is such a valid ask, especially because I myself am neurodivergent in several ways. (I'm like 98% certain I'm autistic but as a grown woman I don't see the point in getting testing because there's so little evidence to help understand girls to start with, let alone adults. It's severely lacking in research 😒. But in my sort of self diagnosis it's made a lot of things "make sense" now). I like to think it comes out a bit in my stuff, but then again I try to make things pretty general so that more people can relate to it. I also personally have a lot of food issues and aversions so this ask is very much yes. 

This is gonna be long so I've put it under the cut sorry.

I think they would be really good at knowing your cues on things. Like when you get overwhelmed about something but don't outright say it, or when you're uncomfortable or confused. Communication would be a big thing early on, and you would explain to them things that you really like or dislike so that they are aware, as well as how you need them to treat you when things happen. Sometimes when I get in a mood™️ I have trouble verbalizing what's going on to people so they don't know how to help me or act. Zemo and Laszlo would already know because you told them. So when something does happen they are prepared without having to necessarily ask. Of course on the flip side they know what you love, so they make it an effort to get you things or take you on experiences for those topics. Imagine - if you loved like dinosaurs that boy would rent out the museum for just you two for a night so you wouldn't be bothered by crowds or people in general. I personally hate the crowds at museums so much. 

They would also know your vibes on things like touching for comfort. Perhaps you don't want it at all when you get overwhelmed, or maybe you need to literally be like physically smothered to calm down. Sometimes I personally absolutely do not under any circumstances want to be touched if I'm feeling things. 

I think for like the food stuff they would check out restaurants ahead of time to ensure they have what you like, or they would make it a note to explain to the server (without your knowledge) if you need it a certain way - like make sure the food isn't touching - so that the dinner goes seamless for you. And of course absolutely no shaming or judging on what you will or won't eat. Maybe if there's something you think sounds good but has like a bad texture for you, they would eat it for you or something. Live thru them I guess. 

Oh one thing I know I would like for them to do is taste things for me and describe the flavor/texture extensively. I'm often afraid to try new foods because of my issues, so if the person can taste it for me and describe exactly what it's like, or compare it to something very similar then I'm more likely to step out of my zone and try it. 

This is what I can think of right now. Really just overall they would be so open to communicate with you and what your needs are in general and from them as your partner. Their goal is for you to be happy, safe, and comfortable.
