#i am going to be so autistic

[grantwilsonenjoyer]

my psych prof told us to pick 5 characters from any piece of media and we r doing a mystery assignment with them. .. meaning i am going to get an assignment involving not one but two special interests (psych and dndads) . this is Wonderful .

#i am going to be so autistic #dndads #the hardest part is picking which characters #i have chosen #scary marlowe #nicky foster #grant wilson #(shocking) #and #idk for the last 2 yet.. #i am THINKING #normal oak #sparrow oak #i just love the oaks ok #do u think i can get away with listing lark and sparrow as one LOL

Well. The autism is certainly hereditary here. Source? I said so.

#ghostbusters #egon spengler #phoebe spengler #ghostbusters afterlife #i will die on this hill #they are so autistic coded. #i am so normal #so normal #the things I would give up to have whatever Egon has going on #also also look they got same glasses 😭

I can't stop thinking about how confusing it must have felt for Edwin having to see his best friend, who he loves so, so deeply, hurting so much but not talking to him.

And, while he knew deep down that Charles bottled things up and didn't speak about his abuse or the circumstances around his death because it hurt too much, he had to see Charles breaking down those barriers to speak to Crystal.

Charles had never been blunt with him before - he had accepted all of his struggles with communication and had never made him feel bad for those difficulties. They had been their only confidants for the longest time and Charles loved that. He didn't feel that needed to change. But then it did. Because Crystal became someone that Charles confided in.

And he started to realise, for the first time since he died, that these difficulties he had with communication and picking up on other people's emotions (and his own) were an issue.

Charles exploding at him in the way he did in episode 4 must have been so confusing. Because he had never done that before.

He wanted more than anything to comfort his friend, but he didn't know how. So, he did what he saw people do so often when people are hurting: he offered Charles his hand. And then Charles rejected it and pulled away. And the hurt and confusion in Edwin's eyes hurts.

And then they get back to their "home" and Edwin tells Charles he can talk to him about his dad - he was trying so hard. And then Charles follows Crystal and Edwin realises that, again, he's not communicating well enough. Because Charles feels he can speak to Crystal and not to him.

And the next morning his concerns are confirmed again when he does his best to relate his experiences in Hell to what Crystal is going through with her nightmares, and she snaps at him. It's all such an autistic experience.

Edwin is so important to me. He is trying so hard to relate. He's trying so hard and he's struggling. And it must hurt him so deeply. I relate to him so much. He's the most beautiful autism representation.

One of my biggest fears when seeing people talk about “Fandom misinterprets all my blorbos and it makes me want to kill myself” is the feeling like oh my god…… what if I’m misinterpreting the blorbos……… what if someone thinks about me like that……. just bury me alive atp

#loreltxt #ITS A REAL FEAR #also I’m so insecure it’s so funny cuz #I’ll see someone with a mildly different opinion on a character than me #and instead of thinking ‘oh they’re wrong I’m right’ I think #I think ‘oh ok clearly I just fucking suck at characterization I’m going to kill myself’ #I’m so insecure #I feel like I’m not autistic enough about them #I feel like out there someone is WAY more autistic about them than I am

I swear I have read your big post regarding Peter Parker's neurodivergence and why it is best to avoid labelling him, but he definitely has a weird brain

Can't find it and feel kinda sad about it cuz I deeply related to it

i know exactly which post you're talking about and i can't find it either! i've raked through my archive, and it's just - nowhere to be seen. i think tumblr eated it (it happens.)

really, tumblr's search functionality is so so useless, i don't know what to tell you. there are plenty of keywords i can search to find it that post, but the search functionality actually just does not work!

undiagnosed audhd-addled peter parker, my darling, my light, my life, my everything.

i think peter parker's such an interesting creature to write, because a lot of people will point to a certain behaviour about him and say "this is an autistic thing, right?" but a lot of those behaviours are actually, in my head, tied to certain traumas in peter's life too.

people say "oh, the food thing, peter's a picky eater because he's autistic" and yes, absolutely. but also it's tied to his trauma with his parents.

peter gets overstimulated, and yes, it's an autism thing, but also he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his senses are dialled to 11.

it's a similar case i've found for myself, too – where a lot of friends i have kind of diagnose me because i have autistic traits, but actually - i'm hesitant to claim the label or pursue diagnosis because, actually, i know where these certain behaviours come from, and they come from certain traumas. there are events i can pinpoint in my life and say "yep. that's where this behaviour comes from."

so - i think there's a lot of overlap between trauma and autistic traits. the brain is very complex! i think the reason for that overlap is maybe as simple as the fact that people with autism and people with trauma are both doing the same thing - developing behaviours to protect themselves or soothe themselves. so - i think it's nice to be able to see a character like peter parker, who may or may not be autistic, but recognise behaviours in him and see yourself in him.

people who go undiagnosed for whatever reason - people who are really good at masking - so good, in fact, that they have no idea they might be on the spectrum - everyone and anyone at all can look at peter parker and recognise themselves. because i think we discredit the thought that every single brain does the same thing! develops certain behaviours in order to survive. every brain has that same software - we've just all been faced with different hardships that we need to overcome, and that's were all the differences come in.

autism is a spectrum, i guess - everyone falls into it to some degree. and i think events in your life probably push you along on it. but i don't know, i didn't study brain science. probably what i'm saying is very stupid and uninformed. of course there's brain chemistry involved. but i know people in my life living with autism and certain events in their life have exacerbated certain behaviours or made coping with it a lot more difficult. so maybe trauma is a catalyst.

#a lot of my traits have been exacerbated lately and i remember it was much easier for me before #and some of my friends have said “oh it's because you've been masking too long and now you're facing autistic burnout.” #and that made sense to me i think. #but then i found out about the stress thing. me overproducing stress hormone. and that's a very physical thing. #and that explains why i've been overstimulated more than usual lately. and why everything feels like too much. #and i wonder how many of these traits of mine are going to subside once i have lamar removed #and it makes me wonder a lot of things. and it's so weird how much your brain is tied to your biology. #i wonder how much i'll change. i wonder how i'll feel. i wonder if i'll still feel like me. i wonder how much me is me right now. #and how much of me is being altered by weird freaky hormones. who am i?? who will i be?? #i'm almost looking at this as like. a superhero origin story of some sort. like this is my spider-bite moment. maybe. #will i be different? will i cope with things differently?? now that my body isn't fighting something anymore?? #maybe i'll be normal. i don't know. i don't know. #i don't know what it'll mean for me. #but all of these things mean i relate to peter parker in a certain kind of way #i don't think you have to be diagnosed with autism to recognise and empathise with those traits i think #i think everyone can see themselves in peter. and i think that's the benefit of having characters that aren't diagnosed. #because there's so much overlap in the human experience. and certain feelings aren't exclusive to just one group of people. #peter has such a rich identity actually. it's an autistic thing. it's a queer thing. it's a jewish thing. it's a trauma thing. #there are so many overlapping parts of peter's identity that inform who he is and how he behaves and it's never just one thing. #it's a product of all of his things. #just like me! just like everyone. #so me? i guess i can be a million things. you can explain what i am in a million different ways. #a hundred different psychologists can all come up with different ways to explain why i be the way i be. #i don't think it's something that can be simplified. #sorry wow. i'm really going off here in the tags. #i hope people don't think i'm stupid. i don't know brain science. i'm just philosophising as usual. #sci speaks

rip severus snape you would’ve loved being a barista at an indie coffee shop

#severus snape #snape #pro snape #barista snape #they usually treat their employees like shit just like his employer does 😍 #and potions is so close to barista #knowing exactly what you need? making something up on the spot? intricate techniques and new gadgets and everyone coming to him for help? #and he wears all black with the classic barista hair and his clothes probably always smell like his job #he has clothes specifically for work so he doesn’t fuck up his normal ones which is why he’s in the same outfit all the time #i am drawing this by the way. she’s a wip but she’s happening #if there’s a way to be a barista without going into autistic burnout after a week please let me know. i miss it
