i believe Danny is ADHD enough to not realize he doesn't actually have super-durability but has just subconsciously learned to minimize damage as much as possible

#*dougdoug voice* BEGIN DISCUSSION *incredibly loud buzzer noise* #Danny Phantom #as someone with ADHD i do not remember Times Before Big Change all that much #i don't remember my skillsets from back then. i don't remember if it was always like this or if something changed over that time #to be fair in this case i think he is capable of healing from fucked up shit. but it still fucks him up as much as it would a regular human #he can survive worse stuff but he's not any more durable than a regular human. maybe less because of the nature of ectoplasm #he just. can survive longer #OH i'm just realizing that this has super duper angst potential #like Danny being like ''yeah i've survived crazy shit i can survive mom & dad/the giw/whatever'' #& then he like. realizes very suddenly that he cannot survive This #mhm mhm taking notes for stuff n things

i have seen a lot of headcanons (& fics!) about bucky doing crochet or knitting that i LOVE but i also need everyone to consider --

steve watching his mother doing irish crochet; maybe she even teaches him some simple things when he's sick and needs something to occupy him so he'll sit still and rest; its a creative outlet for sarah and that artistic streak is something she and steve share almost a century later, crochet comes back into fashion with millennials and gen-z, and steve looks up a youtube tutorial. he doesn't have many physical things left from his mom; but he can make some stuff that she would have loved and it helps him feel close to her.

#marvel #steve rogers #bucky barnes #stucky #ive been thinking about this a LOT lately #ive been looking at a lot of vintage crochet patterns lately and it had me thinking about sarah rogers and the fact that this would 100% #have been something she was exposed to/taught as a young girl. ofc as a single mother she wouldn't have had a lot of free time. #but making little things here and there as a hobby is far from out of the question #also since i hc steve as neurodivergent (adhd and possibly autistic) its entirely possible sarah was too #and crochet is just. such a good stim. #also lots and lots of headcanons about steve getting bored when he was sick #sitting in bed is BORING and im sure at least a few sketchbooks were filled that way #but maybe also a mother who is desperate to get her small child to calm down so his body can heal. will go “hey wanna see what i'm making?” #ik everyone has headcanons about bucky doing traditionally feminine stuff and sees steve as more traditionally masculine #bc that was gatekept from him bc of his disabilities #but let me have this

i was ranting to myself in a really disorganised fashion just now about how Barry has ADHD and like. dude. he absolutely has it. there's no way he doesn't. i myself am an undiagnosed ADHDer and i see so many traits in Barry. like.

in the rock opera 'The Very Last Minute', Barry spends the entirety of it procrastinating on training for the monster apocalypse and literally having almost every trait of ADHD ever. like when i watch this video and see Barry legitimately trying to do what he needs to but repeatedly getting stuck in a loop of jumping from task to task and struggling at actually get started on The Big Task™, i see me. like. that is me.

Barry tries to train. he really does. he really does try to take a crack at it, but he just can't focus on it. he just keeps getting distracted by it over and over and avoiding what he needs to do with other little tasks to keep him occupied at every single moment. and like he knows he really needs to do it. he knows that it's super important that he gets started on it as soon as he can. in fact, there are several lyrics to this effect: "Gotta keep focused, gotta keep training, but I just can't seem to stop procrastinating" and "I should probably stop working on this rocking theme song" are a couple that come to mind. but for whatever reason, he just can't focus on it properly and it ends up with him looking like he's "lazy" or "not putting in the effort". like, you see him get exhausted by doing a single skiprope jump, and that is how i feel whenever i try to do a big task when i'm not ready for it or focused at all. it's really really heard to focus on something that seems so big and overwhelming when you have ADHD, so you often kind of try to avoid it and ignore it because it's super daunting by doing smaller tasks. the difference between executive dysfunction and perceived laziness is that if you were being lazy, you wouldn't care and would likely be having a great time slacking off, even when you are reminded of the task at hand. but with executive dysfunction, you can forget about it for a while, but deep inside you likely still care and know you NEED to get the task done soon, and when you're eventually reminded or suddenly remember, you feel a crushing sense of dread. at least, that's how it is for me. and all the excessive task switching and getting everything else done except The Big Task™ you need to get done the most? i do that! i do that!!!

Barry literally does the ADHD thing where he sets an alarm that tells him to do what he needs to do, but the thing is that he was already doing something else on his phone beforehand and presumably forgot about the alarm, so when the alarm goes off, he just feels like he suddenly can't and that it's way too daunting to actually start because it feels like an intrusion. like. that's the ADHD thing!!! he's doing it!!!! he's doing the ADHD thing!!!!! his executives are NOT functioning!!!!!!

Barry also shows a lot of ADHD traits in 'Rainbow Barry' as well, as they're the most prominent in that specific short. in fact, he shows literally every single inattentive trait in all of the shorts together. impulsiveness, distractibility, impatience, forgetfulness, commitment issues, not following instructions properly, he's even got the emotional problems that come with it like being easily angered and frustrated. he EVEN shows the same traits in the JJ2 event dialogues!!! like!!!! look at the dialogues on the JJ wiki and tell me he isn't having ADHD traits!!!!! bro is clearly showing each individual ADHD symptom in everything he's in and either no one is noticing it or no one is talking about it and i'm just SO obsessed with this headcanon/theory of mine. Barry Steakfries is an undiagnosed ADHDer and nobody can convince me otherwise

#barry steakfries #jetpack joyride #adhd #adhd headcanon #adhd theory #OH YEAH AND I FORGOT TO MENTION HYPERFIXATION!!! jetpack fixation!! (probably more of a special interest actually- #-but that's more related to autism than adhd which i also believe barry is on the spectrum of) #like the shirt sleeve ripping? that's not a disease that's a stim. that's definitely a stim. #but yeah barry is definitely an adhder and i want it to be canon so bad because he is just. so me #like he has it he definitely has it 100% #there's no way he doesn't dude there's no way #god it is almost 12 am and i'm busy writing the tags for this #if that isn't a clear indicator that i have adhd then idk what is #i've been thinking about the possibility of me having adhd since i was 13 and it's only gotten- #-truer and truer as i got older #i have no idea how i haven't already been diagnosed. no clue. #maybe my autistic traits are just easier to spot to other people than my adhd ones #who knows dude. all i know is that me and barry definitely have it #barry adhder CONFIRMED #i need to make a post about my headcanon that craig is on the autism spectrum next #because he absolutely is #he is to me......... #i am not normal about these characters if you couldn't already tell from literally every other post i have about them

[thesmollestsnek]

I’ve seen a lot of fics n headcanons where Dick Grayson has adhd, and I see you. But also. Consider: Tim Drake having (undiagnosed) adhd. As a certified adhd bitch myself, I have A Lot to say about this, so more under the cut.

Before we get into it, just a quick disclaimer: pretty much all of my dc knowledge is from fandom osmosis, so. If you see something that’s ooc or contradicts canon no you didn’t. Now with that out of the way, on to the main event!

Okay, so! First of all, let’s start at the very beginning. That’s right, I’m talking about Tim Drake’s “night photography”! Now I’m not gonna say neurotypical kids don’t get up to some dumb ass shit when left unsupervised for long periods of time, because they absolutely do. But. The complete disregard for the many, many dangers a young child alone in Gotham at night would face is still notable. And he doesn’t just ignore danger - he runs straight at it. That shows an impressive lack of impulse control, and inability to factor future consequences into current decisions, both of which are hallmarks of adhd. Plus, hyperfixation kinda… changes? How you perceive things. So if Tim was hyperfixated on getting the perfect shot whenever a major crime/fight happened near him, he may not have processed that he was danger at all during the part most likely to scare a neurotypical child away.

Next, we have the coffee. Yes, I know the coffee thing is super overblown by the fandom and not really supported by canon but ssshshhhhhh my world my rules Tim drinks lots of coffee. Now, this one’s kinda obvious, but caffeine is a stimulant and surprise surprise so are most adhd meds. I have seen firsthand how ppl with undiagnosed adhd will mainline caffeine as a form of self medication, whether they’re aware of it or not. Some people use soda or energy drinks, but coffee’s also a really popular choice for this kinda thing. So not only is it completely plausible for someone with undiagnosed adhd to self medicate by drinking a shitton of coffee, it’s extremely common.

Next up! We have the insomnia. Which, again, I think might be played up a lot in fic? But this is my world and you’re reading in it, so. Tim’s an insomniac. This is one of the less well known symptoms of adhd, but again I speak from firsthand experience when I say it’s a big one. Insomnia is extremely common among ppl with adhd, for a couple reasons. One is time blindness, which I’ll come back to in the next point. But also? It’s just really hard to turn your brain off. And if a large portion of Tim’s brain space is being devoted to casework, guess what. That inability to turn one’s brain off will manifest as late night case solving blitzes. Not to mention that hyperfixation, again, changes the way you perceive things. When I hyperfixate on something I often lose hours at a time, and bodily needs like hunger, tiredness, the bathroom, etc aren’t just unimportant they straight up don’t register. With the number of times I’ve come out of a hyperfocus to realize that I have a dehydration headache that’s been brewing for at least an hour, or have completely skipped a major meal, or desperately need to pee, I can 100% believe Tim not noticing any sleep deprivation symptoms until he’s finished whatever he was working on. And I, again, speak from experience when I say that if you happen to hyperfixate at something at the wrong time of night you will be staying up way later than is reasonable. Which brings me to my next point of…

Time blindness! My most favoritist thing in the whole wide world! (/sarcasm) This shit can and absolutely will fuck up your ability to be a functioning human if you let it. Having no internal clock causes more problems than the obvious losing track of time. It means your appetite is sporadic at best and you could very easily forget to eat. It means your sleep schedule has a tendency to just disintegrate if you don’t keep on it. It means being completely dependent on external clocks to know how long things are/should be taking, even for stupid shit like cooking food or brushing your teeth. It means that if you don’t set an alarm for something there is a very real possibility that something isn’t happening no matter how much you want or need it to. In short, it completely fucks up your ability to care for yourself without a lot of external regimented support. Now, who does that remind you of? Which member of the batfamily is known for neglecting his own health? I may not read many comics but the sheer number of “Tim Drake subsists solely on coffee and spite” jokes on ao3 and tumblr is very telling.

His brains. Tim is very, very smart. Have you ever heard the phrase “twice exceptional?” It describes Tim Drake to a t. Plus, I’m living proof of how you can be both smart of brain and dumb of ass. This may be more of a “my family who just so happens to consist entirely of twice exceptional adhd dumbasses” thing than something most ppl with adhd experience, but. You can be really smart and incredible at putting together complex plans, both ahead of time and on the fly, and still have. No common sense whatsoever. Which seems to be a lot of Tim’s characterization: incredibly smart while simultaneously being a complete dumbass. So make of that what you will.

And most compellingly? I think it’s funny. This kid is brothers with Dick Grayson and best friends with Bart Allen and especially next to those two people would never expect Tim to be the one with the quote unquote “cant sit still disorder”. Yknow what? Let’s take this a step further. Let’s make Bart autistic. (I don’t know enough about the flash family to say how accurate this is but for the sake of the joke let’s say he is). People see Impulse standing next to Red Robin and they think they know which one is adhd and which is autistic and they are Wrong. Tim n Bart are Completely unaware of this but the rest of their team finds it hilarious. There���s probably at least one running joke about it.

#tim drake has adhd (you can’t) change my mind #btw I don’t mention it here but my version of batman is 1000000% autistic #I’d offer to give headcanons on which batfamily members I think are which flavors of neurodivergent but. #I’m not NEARLY as familiar with any of the other things I headcanon them as #also none of the other headcanons are quite as solid as this one #I think Bruce n maybe Jason are autistic. Damian’s def got Something going on but idk if I care to put a name to it #dick most definitely has some cptsd but also? I think there’s a portion of ‘weird’ things he does that aren’t from anything specific #he’s just Like That #there’s most definitely some more stuff floating around in the family I highly doubt any of them is 100% neurotypical #I just can’t be bothered to figure out who’s most likely to have what and why lol #maybe some of my other nerdy neurodivergent peeps can chime in with their thoughts? #and just to reiterate: #all of my dc knowledge is from fandom osmosis and that’s how i like it #headcanons #dc headcanons #tim drake #tim drake headcanon #red robin #dc red robin #red robin headcanon #adhd #adhd tim drake #adhd red robin #neurodivergent tim drake

WAIT- is this one of the alternate timelines created from the space-time sword ("Shintō Amenogozen")!? 👀

I'm an anime-only bsd enjoyer & ever since that damn sword popped up after Atsushi & Akutagawa killed him on the boat but he was able to erase/undo(?) that timeline, I've been thinking that technically means there's multiple timelines. This would be the one where Fukuchi won that conflict we just saw or something else entirely is going on given the way he's dressed (if that even is him)! 👀👀👀

#plz no spoilers I want to watch it without knowing whats going on yet; I think it absolutely has to do with multiple timelines though since #Fukuchi got absolutely folded from our POV. Also his legs in the future looked robotic??? maybe just lighting & art style; but something #isnt quite right about that guy; he's also FLYING??? like HUH??? what is going on??? absolutely wild... looks like an angel too 👀 #I just hope this hiatus won't be multiple years long & force me to rewatch the whole series all over again just to understand whats going o #mind you; I don't exactly have a twitter to keep watch on series & anime announcements & things so I guess just tag me when we get a season #announcement and release date I guess?? just let me know. Adhd & series going on hiatus is not a good combo LOL #genuinely had to rewatch for this season because I only found out that it was going on through someone I follow reblogging a gifset & not #even tagging it. LOL like I could have just not known or gone the whole season without knowing since it's a more niche anime #okay I think I've rambled enough in the tags to get this post to show up in the search engine PLZ NO SPOILING the series for me btw #I will block liberally 👀 #mine #op #bungo stray dogs #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd spoilers #bsd anime #bungou stray dogs anime #bungo stray dogs spoilers #live blogging

watching house is a trip but hearing the writers early opinions is so funny "he's not autistic he's just an eccentric jerk" "house isn't in love with wilson they're both straight" not only did you write an autistic bisexual you also gave him adhd and complex ptsd.

#💖.txt #yes the man who avoids eye contact for everything except manipulation and cannot sit still despite massive amounts of chronic pain has #zero autism and adhd. also ik the show /kind of/ suggests he has trauma but man do they handle house's childhood trauma terribly #like maybe its just me but i think getting thrown into an ice bath for disobedience is plenty reason to skip ur dads funeral! #i get other characters not taking house at his word bc. his word means jack shit! but i feel like they easily couldve had wilson express #more sympathy about the situation. like he knows house dislikes his dad for A Reason #he just doesnt know what the reason is #but its so funny how many times writers make an autistic character and then WITHIN CANON reference that they have traits associated #with autism and then go no??? theyre just supposed to be weird :) #anyways no one does baiting like house md. and no one ever will they perfected the art

LIKE something I think is all of the Askr family are like mirrors. Alfonse is a reflection of how much he loves Sharena and the summoner. Sharena is a reflection of how much she loves Alfonse and how, I think in the autistic sense, I think she mirrors A LOT. Henriette is a reflection of how much she loves Gustav (and seemingly, so severely that that love struggles to reach everyone else). Gustav was likely a reflection of how much he loved Henriette and his father. All of them are performing, adhering to SOMETHING. Their roles, and what seems to be The Correct Course of Action.

#fire emblem #feh #not a full thought but like. it's there #i see autism hcs for alfonse sometimes and regardless how i feel personally on that (as an autistic guy myself) #i think sharena is SO OVERLOOKED. for autism hcs. or at least the fuckinh tendencies. #i've seen adhd hcs for her too though and maybe that makes more sense (i have less info on that) #like it's speculated i might have adhd too but i was never diagnosed (only got the autism diagnosis) #which like obvs they aren't EXCLUSIVE like often times they're co-occurring. which i think is another hc route #you COULD take w sharena actually. #as for alfonse i do wanna say i completely get it and see why people do hc him autistic #he DOES have. tendencies LMFAO #but for me. alfonse is just as much a study in cis masculinity as he is a study in being able-bodied #there are a lot of things i need to reconcile with. often. and i need that tool to navigate my feelings #so like. i absolutely don't wanna invalidate anyone's takes on him and i know JUST as deeply how personal #and important hcs can be. #to me alfonse just. has Tendencies. that attract autistic people to him like moths to a flame. #regardless of if he is or isn't himself. #and he has so many problems. but i don't think he has The Horrors you know. #MEANWHILE i think takumi is so autistic he has ALL OF IT. ALL OF THE TENDENCIES. ALL OF THE HORRORS #that's how i feel anyway! #fe alfonse #sharena #fe henriette #fe gustav

do people with adhd have special interests? do we do that? cause i’ve been in my free willy shark week marine biology era for a solid decade now and like shit has not changed.

#ik i say i have audhd. and my therapist and i definitely think i do. #but my psychiatrist won’t diagnose me bc i am a woman and apparently this is still the 90s ig #so idk lately i’ve been having an identity crisis and being like… do i even have it??? if i can’t get a diagnosis?? #like yeah this specific psychiatrist won’t diagnose me but i’ve been to other psychiatrists in the past?? #so like if i had it wouldn’t they have caught it?? #and like yeah my cousin has it but who knows he could’ve gotten that from his dad’s side of the family not his mom’s (my aunts) #idk big crisis over here #it’s also been like months since i last saw my therapist which is just not good… #but yeah idk if i have autism? and now i feel like shit for essentially diagnosing myself as being audhd based on like nothing #so now i’m just trying to see if all this shit that i thought was maybe autism is actually just my adhd or ocd #or just like a fun non-disordered quirk #also i am very embarrassed about the way i talked about autism on here when i thought i had it now that i’m not sure #like it feels very rude and offensive in retrospect #so i’m very very genuinely sorry for that #that just was not okay for me to do #i promise to be better going forward and i’m very sorry #pol’s diary <3

i could write an entire 3-paragraph essay (with sources) on why yugi muto has adhd and how it affects him throughout his story but when it comes to sora it’s just. i dunno he just has it. he has adhd

#i have too many thoughts about characters #i found yugi relatable actually but only in the manga because he was allowed to Do Things in the manga #i love the anime and yami yugi don't get me wrong but like #minimal yugi screentime :( they skipped his character development #he is there at the beginning and the end but shows up very little in battle city which is like. THE yugioh arc #but uhh anyway yugi being prone to tears like an abnormal amount for his age can 100% be interpreted as emotional dysregulation #maybe i just read it that way because i'm like that :/ crybaby alert over here #also he has hyperfixations!! #and not just strong interests like he is interested in games EXCLUSIVELY to the detriment of obligations like. school #but with sora it's just... he has a vibe to him i guess #i diagnose him with silly brain #anyway toonagi overly long tags time woohoo #it's like a special treat you get a whole novel as a bonus :D #sora kingdom hearts #yugi muto #i also headcanon like a lot of characters as having adhd so i think also i'm projecting a little

I love how Avalon, in development, went from being this menacing guy who literally poisoned + tried to kill Herbert, created the Negativitron in order to have all of Craftworld's creativity and recreate the world in his image due to his vanity

To, in game, being a well-intentioned guy who was just annoying as hell to half the alliance because he loves himself too much

#i like to think there is more to him tbh #like maybe he wants to be known as a hero and wants to feel important #and also not liking it when people treat him as small or insignificant #him constantly interrupting people I feel like could just be because he can't stand not being in the spotlight and taking in the glory #or he just has ADHD #it's probably both #either way its funny how even in-game Herbert has a dartboard with Avalon's face on it - like goddamn does this bitch annoy you that much?? #littlebigplanet #littlebigplanet 2 #little big planet #little big planet 2 #lbp #lbp2 #avalon centrifuge #lbp headcanons #lbp2 avalon #avalon lbp2
