luke skywalker is neurodivergent headcanons
disclaimer: i have ADHD and a lot of this is based on my own experiences. it's just my opinion and a fun way to take a look at this character in a new light.
shoutout to this post which inspired this. these are SFW except for a few jokey jokes
without further ado:
he's pretty hyperactive and it shows up in a lot of ways. thrill seeking (bullseyeing womp rats in my t16!) is definitely one of them, but i also just think he has a very hard time being still. he's constantly fidgeting - bouncing his legs, drumming the table, tapping his toes.
when he learns how to meditate it's a huge moment. he's finally able to quiet his mind, which has always felt like a speeder racing through the sands.
he likes to draw/doodle to maintain attention in strategy meetings. they tend to be filled with straight lines and a little sketchy, but can sometimes be quite detailed
he misses social cues sometimes. he's pretty great with people, but sometimes they'll make a joke or a saying and he'll completely miss it, or take it hyper literally
(yes this would lead to HILARIOUS innuendo potential)
do you want luke to talk to you for HOURS? ask about his special interests!
he knows LITERALLY EVERYTHING about ships. like to an absurd degree. he probably lectures han constantly about proper upkeep for the falcon
but he probably also has really random, unexpected ones and just blurts out fun facts anywhere he goes. (honestly i could see one of his love languages being fun facts.)
ofc he's pretty impulsive. (hello ESB.) part of his evolution as a jedi is learning to control his impulses; learning to evaluate them, to stop and think before he acts.
he has sensory processing issues but in unexpected ways. i think of it more as a hyper-sensitivity to the Force.
here's an example. so as a Rebellion soldier, i think this would be at its worst after a large battle/dogfight. he would definitely be (sub)consciously picking up all of the heightened emotions - fear, relief, grief, elation. the Force would probably be going insane and he would be picking up on it ALL
especially before his jedi training, it's a whole lot to deal with all at once and very confusing. in this way, it'd present similar to sensory processing issues. he'd struggle especially with sound; if things are too loud he'd just shut down. after a battle he needs a blanket a hot drink and sleep <3 (also maybe sex)
he struggles with properly articulating how he feels. he can get flustered easily and feel like the words won't quite make it out, or that his brain is working far faster than he can process.
he's not naturally inclined to routine but thrives in it. he always wakes up early partially out of habit and partially because he finds it comforting

My favorite Wei Wuxian song? From The Ending Of A Tragedy, by Day6 Even of Day (translation by Hansa Creative on YouTube):
I don't know what I'm gonna do to you, was it the right choice? Was the sacrifice valid?
For giving me a life on my way to destruction, may the hand be lifted now
I'm going to die and I'm going to ruin it
I want you to turn a blind eye to my last appearance
Please leave me now, in the painful ending of the tragedy, run, run, run, run
Please hate me now, for the sake of happiness, run, run, run, run, run
It's a false joy, but it's a temptation, the future will shine
It's dark and it's a self-proclaimed daydream, turn a blind eye to the course of the abyss
Please leave me now, in the painful ending of the tragedy, run, run, run, run
Please hate me now, for the sake of happiness, run, run, run, run, run
I was able to embrace you, that's the fact that I... I don't have any regrets
In the painful ending of the tragedy, run, run, run, run
Please hate me now, for the sake of happiness, run, run, run, run, run

OMG Adele do you know how you're such a bad (excellent) influence on me? That Brigerton scene you're talking about has me in SHAMBLES PLS BUT ALSO Postgrad Sukuna ft International student reader 😩😩 Like here you are on orientation day tryna navigate your way through the public transport system and this big ass campus and everyone is talking about the genius artist but you really need togo and buy some milk and you bump into him as you squint at a map and whew chile Nat calm down.
screaming because sukuna wld take every opportunity to make fun of u (me) for ur sad kanji 😭 frankly living for the 2012 wattpad trope that everyone in the area knows who tf this “sexy famous artist” is that’s enrolling in a sexy cool grad program but you, fresh off the airplane and more concerned with getting home in one piece than anything, having no fucking clue who this mf is ... until there you are on the sidewalk, ready to have a meltdown if you don’t find the right building, all working knowledge of every language you’ve ever known suddenly missing ...
i like to think u keep running into each other after that – he becomes ur local campus celebrity because u see him like every fucking day at 9:30am walking along with his little coffee or on thursday at 3pm sitting at the same table in the library with his headphones in... no need to speak to each other for those first few weeks, but it’s always that nod of “oh shit it’s that person again” until ur both at the same grad event and he’s like so have you figured out where to buy milk yet
