#definitely not neurotypical

I don't believe so many people see Sherlock Holmes as neorotypical. The same Sherlock Holmes who gets bored so easily and yet once he finds something interesting, he will absolutely need to solve it. Sherlock Holmes, who just randomly infodumps on Watson about literal fucking mud, on multiple occasions. Sherlock Holmes who routinely fiddles with his violin and makes discordant noises. The same man who makes leaps of deduction which literally no one else sees, and can only understand when he takes them through every step of his analysis. The one and only Sherlock Holmes who collects random articles about people and hoards things with the vague hope that someday he might need the <insert thing here> again. The Mr. Sherlock "never a very sociable fellow" Holmes? Sherlock Holmes who will not clean his room, and makes up all sorts of excuses to divert Watson's attention, who hates anything being moved from its designated place, who is neat in thought and style, but stabs his letters to the mantelpiece. "He had a horror of destroying documents, especially those which were connected with his past cases..."(The Musgrave Ritual) Anyone? This ring a bell, oh venerated 'Holmes Scholar'? You are telling me people read the books and intentionally come to the conclusion that Sherlock Holmes is absolutely neurotypical and has no neurodivergent tendencies and symptoms at all? That most of these above examples are symptoms of Autism, ADHD, etc. just happens to be a coincidence? Huh. Guess people really are blind when they want to be.

Part of my growing up undiagnosed ND experience included being a "picky eater" ever since I was little.
So my parents would mince vegetables and such inside meals in order for me to agree to eat it (at least), and yet I would complain saying that I wasn't going to eat because there were zucchini in this, or onions in that. To which my parents would promptly reply: "but we cut it so small! It's just in little pieces! You can't even taste it!"
Then parent, riddle me this: if I couldn't taste it, what even is the point of putting it inside the dish? Checkmate.

Okay as I'm looking around the set for Josh's room I'm noticing
- a Cage the Elephants poster (nice)
- a lot of little black squares with an "r" on it in the Biotic Wars font
- a Halo poster
- he was streaming on Twitch and APPERANTLY STILL IS WHEN HE STARTS JERKING OFF WHAT (I think that was just the set having a still image in the computer but wow what a thing to just. Have)
- Battlestar Galactica poster
- litterally three of the SAME. EXACT. FLANNEL thrown around his room
- Vinyls under his side table, with a vinyl player on top
- just like. Trash all over his side table (realistic, coming from someone who has a gamer brother)
- Red Bull cans
- Several posters I am having a harder time identifying
- just a poster of the solar system
- big ass Master Chief figure (I'm pretty sure it's Master Chief)
- A globe
- Something that LOOKS like a Wii but is distinctly NOT a Wii (might be another console I'm just not recognizing)
- some frankly terrible wire management
- What appears to be a Back to The Future poster (I should try and count all the BTTF references)
- Also his Twitch user seems to be FutturH[unclear]
- BOTTLE ROCKET

For those who are unsure of whether or not they really have the "sensitivity to cold" symptom of fibromyalgia, because you think that it's just you not being able to handle colder temperatures like other people, that's one way of putting it. The other way is, when it's winter and the temperatures start dropping, do you feel your pain more intensely? Do you feel like you have more problems with your joints? Is your partner always commenting how cold your fingers and toes are, but it somehow gets more frequent in winter? Those are other ways to consider being sensitive to the cold.

Biting the bars of my enclosure about autistic ford tonight. There's something about him using vocabulary and turns of phrase that seem "outdated" or "pretentious" that feels so painfully genuine to me. When people say he talks like that just to "try to sound smart" I wish I could explain what it's like to be so ostracized from your peers growing up that you spend all your time reading instead, to the point where you pick up your way of speaking from books instead of from people. And then what it's like for people to call you out for "talking weird" over and over again, not able to wrap their heads around why the fuck you would choose more archaic or technical or formal words than the simpler ones that surely come to everyone's minds first. What it's like to have to dedicate a sizable chunk of attention to filtering through every single word you say out loud in real time before you say it, to make absolutely sure that it isn't a word people will judge you for using or make fun of you for using, just so you'll have a chance of being taken seriously. Learning through trial and error how to filter out the words that other people don't think are normal or casual enough for the conversation, even though for you, the word choice that's "natural-sounding" enough for them is the third or fourth word you came up with when searching for the right way to phrase something in your head. I wish I could explain just how long it takes to say fucking anything after spending a lifetime doing that during every single conversation, and how repetitive and long-winded you end up being when you spend so long coming up with alternative ways of saying every little thing you ever think. And I wish people realized that, at the very least for autistic people and autistic-coded characters, speech that's seen as pretentious is really just the way they talk when they're not putting in the extra effort to filter through every word they say just so others will take the time to listen.
#ford meta#actuallyautistic#everyone go read the wikipedia page for 'stilted speech' right now#long post#ford isnt very good at masking. he doesn't have the kind of (unintentional) autistic coding that is Palatable To Neurotypicals.#definitely looking-too-deeply-at-a-kid-cartoon right now but in *some* ways. a world where the majority of people think its easy to like an#-understand ford is a world that would feel safe for me to unmask in.#i truly truly hate that fully explaining my thoughts on ford requires me to say so much about myself. but god is it such a crime-#-to use a fictional character as a lens through which to try and explain to people how to be more understanding and accepting-#-of things like this.#making fun of stilted speech is so normalized that people don't even realize they're making fun of someone for being weird.#people think its Someone Thinking They're Better Than You but its something people lay awake at night wishing they could stop doing.#and yet they still end up using the Wrong Words and being labeled a Pretentious Asshole just for talking differently than the norm.#maybe there really are people out there who deliberately use big words to try and sound smarter than everyone else. I don't know.#all I know is. in a world where its pretty obvious that people who use a discongruently complex vocabulary get made fun of for doing that.#why would someone deliberately trying to impress people do something that would only get them laughed at.#sorry for being genuine on main. as if its my fault </3

autistic coded men who have orange cats my beloved

#star trek tng#star trek#star trek data#garfield#garfield jon#jon arbuckle#jetpack joyride#professor brains#jetpack joyride 2#this is my type. weird silly or otherwise quirky guys who have orange cats#brains being autistic is more just a headcanon i have rather than deliberate coding#but he's been shown to have a few autism-like behaviours and traits across the shorts and jetpack joyride 2#it's kinda stereotypical but he's more of a logical simple thinker and he finds strings of numbers to be easier to remember than names#which i find to be interesting! he just has different thinking patterns from what i've seen in neurotypicals. and it's like.#it's the autism radar. i can always tell when a fictional character seems to be Not Neurotypical because holy shit they act like me-#-or another autistic person i know!#also all these characters are like. different facets of autism and i think that's so interesting#on the left we have highly logical direct and ''idk what to do with my face or my hands help'' sherlock spin autism#and then there's slightly unhinged dorky possible ADHD combo and complete lack of social skills autism#and finally there's the evil autism#and i love all three of them <3#i just realised they're also all sitting in big comfy chairs!#jon's armchair looks so comfy though. like i really wanna sit in there#it's probably slightly dirty and most definitely scratched up by garfield but my god that's what make it more homely and comfy#i wonder how many armchairs jon has gotten over the years. i should count all the instances of him having a differently coloured armchair#anyway yeah. autistic cat dads my beloved <3
