Does anyone else remember how weirdly strict elementary school was? Like it seemed normal back then but now as an adult I'm like...what the hell was that all about. In second grade I had to skip the rest of recess because I tripped and fell into a puddle. In kindergarten the music teacher sent me out of the classroom because I had a "rotten look on my face." Not to mention all the times I was at the bottom of the behavior chart by the end of the day because of honest mistakes. I only had one teacher who helped me with the work when I was struggling. Every other teacher lectured me for being lazy and not paying attention. I am fully convinced elementary schools are trauma factories for children.

#by 5th grade i didn't speak at all at school and sat in the back of the classroom crying for half the day #my teacher punished me for that too #the school system is shit #i still got called lazy even though my teachers knew i had adhd and autism #elementary school #school #autism #adhd #neurodivergent #astrid.txt

adhd culture is not getting up to go to the bathroom once you’ve actually started working because you know you won’t be able to get back into the working mindset for at least a few hours if you interrupt yourself

#the number of times i’ve literally almost peed myself because of adhd is astounding #hate it here #i mean also sometimes i just forget to go to the bathroom because i’m hyperfocusing but that’s a different issue #astrid.txt #adhd tag #adhd things #actually adhd #adhd

hello! it’s me, your favorite ‘seems-cool-but-probably-smells-like-coffee’ gifmaker. i just recently reached a milestone (woohoo!!) and i felt the need to celebrate by highlighting some of my favorite people on this platform ♡ some are my mutuals and some aren’t, but they’re all worthy of a follow for the amazing content they create and/or the happy vibes they put on my dash every day.

it really feels like i only started making gifs, like, yesterday, and i’ve had to do a whooole lot of experimenting along the way. but i’ve managed to find my own little corner of the content creator world to occupy & post the gifs that i love making over the past few months, which is all i’ve ever really wanted! i’m very thankful for all of the support i receive from my followers, the encouragement i receive from my mutuals (whether it’s via ask, dm, or even just through tags in reblogs), and the endless love i receive from my friends. i love you all so much!

mob is very special to me in a lot of ways, but i think he’s also some of the best autistic rep in any media i’ve seen so far.

i could talk about this for ages, but a couple things stick out to me. mob psycho 100 isn’t the first piece of media to show the advantageous side of autism, but in almost all cases, these advantages are boiled down to the “misunderstood genius trope.” an autistic character might have a photographic memory, or maybe they can solve any math problem without pen and paper. in other words, the narrative has to justify their autism with some kind of “superpower.”

his complete social obliviousness makes it difficult for anyone to influence him via social pressure. he’s not susceptible to dimple’s smiling cult, partially because of his psychic powers, but also because he had no urge to assimilate to match the energy of everyone else in the room. it later helps him during the broccoli arc, in which the group mentality of psycho helmet is so strong that reigen doesn’t even need to eat the divine tree candy to be brainwashed.

furthermore, mob is the only one able to defeat the dragger, but not because of his extraordinary power. the dragged is an evil spirit borne of an urban legend, fueled by the community’s fear of her: no one who experiences this fear can exorcize her. but mob is “completely out of the loop,” in the words of reigen and dimple, and therefore completely unaffected.

mob’s autism also causes him to be brutally honest. while he occasionally says things that might be perceived as hurtful due to this trait, it comes in handy against suzuki toichiro. reigen recognized mob’s advantage in this situation while explaining why he didn’t follow mob or send anyone else with him. he says mob is the best person for the job because he can honestly tell people how he feels without regard to social expectations. and it is this honestly that enables mob to express radical kindness to toichiro, a kindness that leads to his defeat just as much as mob’s overwhelming psychic power.

in terms of mob’s personal life, i would argue his autism helps him improve himself. despite immense pressure to use his psychic powers to solve his problems (from dimple, teru, etc), he persists in improving himself organically. he never once shows embarrassment about how weak he is compared to the other members of the body improvement club; it never deters him from continuing to train. i would argue it’s partially due to his personality (source: i’m autistic and potential social humiliation terrifies me. rsd is a bitch.), but it’s certainly fueled also by his complete lack of perception of social cues. it never even occurs to him to be embarrassed.

despite all these positives, the disability aspect of autism is not downplayed, which is incredibly important to balanced autistic representation.

mob takes things at face value, rarely stopping to think if someone might be lying to him (this trait often shows up in terms of his love life; he always assumes confession letters are genuine) — something many autistic people struggle with.

he also expresses his emotions differently, causing other characters in the show at times to accuse him of having no feelings.

of course, mob’s somewhat emotionless appearing demeanor is influenced by his emotional shutdown after accidentally hurting ritsu.** however, i would argue it’s also influenced by his autism. if it was always his emotional shutdown causing him to not express emotions when he’s expected to, we would see his explosion meter go up. but oftentimes when he doesn’t always appear happy when he “should” or is completely unfazed by a theoretically hurtful insult, his meter stays the same.

he just doesn’t express his emotions in a way a neurotypical person would, sometimes leading to social rejection or others misinterpreting his actions. this is most frequently seen with emi, who often perceives mob’s lack of self-expression as disinterest, much to his dismay.

i might say that the points above aren’t NECESSARILY negatives because mob isn’t always emotionally impacted by these traits. others may be embarrassed for him, but he is often unfazed. but his inability to “get a clue” clearly causes his emotional distress. he has flashbacks to other kids repeatedly saying this to him—he remembers this ridicule all these years later.

mob is aware that he doesn’t always get what’s going on, which causes him to envy ritsu for more than his grades and athleticism. ritsu has more social finesse than mob, or at least mob perceives it that way (personally, autistic ritsu is a headcanon very close to my heart). ritsu certainly has an idea of what might be socially humiliating for mob and himself, while mob doesn’t. ritsu is in the loop, and mob knows this, further fueling his inferiority complex compared to ritsu.

summed up neatly, mob’s autism is in some way disabling to him, while also frequently helping him throughout the story. it is partially this balanced portrayal of autism that makes mob psycho’s autistic rep so good.

mob psycho really only touches on the social aspect of autism, which could be considered a shortcoming. and that’s a totally valid criticism! but in terms of the story and mob’s character arc, it’s the most vital aspect. so i don’t necessarily think it takes away from the valuable autistic rep that the show provides.

**I might even argue that his psychic powers could be an allegory for autistic emotional dysregulation, but that’s a different post.
