I don’t know why but it feels like so many characters in My Hero Academia have Autism (looking at you Bakugou and Todoroki) or ADHD (looking at you Kaminari and Kirishima) or both (looking at you Midoriya and Hatsume). Like, there are so many that seem neurodivergent to point that I wonder if Mr. Horikoshi himself is a lil funky that way…

ranting time for my 100th post
Okay. I need to scream to someone.
As an autistic person myself/someone's who is *most definitely* on the spectrum, I find that I am becoming more self aware, thus becoming aware of other people's autistic/neurodivergent behavior.
Continuing on with that information...
Does anyone else think/agree with me if I were to say that there's a pretty high chance Izuku is autistic, or at least on *some sort* of the neurodivergent spectrum??? Maybe someone else has said it before I don't know but I went on an entire spiral last night as I was trying to come up with ideas for an AU I'm doing😓
But, just listing some of the stuff he does that I personally do that I know is a hyperfixation:
Hyperfixates (most obvious being All Might/Toshinori Yagi [who could also be a special interest not just a hyperfixation], but also the other heroes and even villains)
Constantly trying to be optimistic about things/MASKING.
Immense guilt weighing you down when you think you've done something wrong even if it's something as small as putting something in the wrong spot by accident
Having hundreds of notebooks and other things to keep track of data from hyperfixations/special interests
Collecting objects of hyperfixtion/merchandise and shtuff for hyperfixations
Having a strict schedule/routine to follow (his training schedule *cough cough*)
RAMBLING NON-STOP ABOUT SPECIAL INTERESTS/HYPERFIXATIONS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When we look at Izuku's rooms, there's obviously the All Might special interest. We know all about his notebooks, and (if I'm remembering correctly) there are thirteen of them. While to some it may not seem like much (maybe idk I don't have normal interactions with people), those notebooks are filled to the *brim*. There's also *more* notebooks than that, as there's ones about his classmates, and ones about OFA, and other stuff as well.
When he was training, yes I know All Might made the routine for him, but Izuku took the routine and made it his own and followed it everyday (even though it grew unhealthy).
Izuku is honestly just a kid who doesn't know how to have a normal human interaction unless he is put in charge and is under a sort of stress in his brain. It may not seem stressful to others, but in order to have the "confidence" to be in charge, his brain creates stressors in order to function "correctly" in those situations.
He studies and trains obsessively, and is a people pleaser to all extents.
There's probably more that I could talk about, but *I've* been rambling here for a little while here now😭😭
Tumblr media
Hope my ramblings made sense :D
(Also yayyyyyy 100 posts😭👍)

Christine Canigula was socially ostracized & developed a complex to protect herself: an essay
(suddenly i NEED to infodump about Christine actually so here)
Something I only noticed on rewatch: the way Christine will say something silly and then just kind of gingerly wait to see if Jeremy reacts well to it before continuing, almost like she's asking permission?? (e.g. the gap after the first stanza of "Play Rehearsal"). And it's only after he riffs off her bowling alley bit that she feels comfortable talking about her personal feelings with him (right before "Guy that I'd Kinda be Into"). The same happens with their "weird noise" exchange immediately before "It's pretty killer to sit and chat with you." I know theater relies on being succinct, and that 'bonding over shared quirks' and 'feelings talk' are both just crucial parts of relationship development... but I don't think it's a coincidence that it always goes in that order!
It's like Jeremy has to pass these *trials of weirdness* before she feels safe opening up to him and it drives me BONKERS so I wrote a whole 1000 word thing about it under the cut and this got too massive and I'm sorry. Also some autistic Jeremy meta at the end if that sweetens the pot hehehe
Table of contents:
Why she was ostracized
How she was ostracized
How that might inform her pattern of relationship development with Jeremy and Jake
How gender caused Jeremy's experiences to differ from hers, and how that affects their current relationships with "popularity" and peer acceptance.
1. Why she was ostracized
I am just so certain that Christine has been bullied or at least majorly outcast for a lot of her life. She's very obviously neurodivergent and because of that she can have these obnoxiously deep and repetitive interests, she can't judge if a piece of information will be genuinely interesting to someone, and she doesn't take social cues very well.
She frequently interrupts people when they're talking (an ADHD symptom btw), even when they're literally talking to her about the thing she wants to hear!
(C: "Do you find that? Because I totally find that!" J: "Uh, yeah, I-" C: "-And no matter how hard I try....")
(J: "I know the last thing I deserve is another shot, but-" C:"Jeremy, just... say what's on your mind.") (girl I'm sorry but that's what he was doing..... I have a whole other thoughtpiece on how this particularly fucks with Jeremy while they're dating but thats another thing...)
She doesn't seem confident in her interpretations of people's emotions and she'll ask/talk about them point blank (both theirs and her own) in a way a lot of people would find rude
("Uh, you seem really nervous...") ("Popular people are fucked up! *mutual laughter* …I mean, you're one of them!") ("I am flattered, this is new / still I'm not sure what I should do" <- as a response to getting asked out, that's pretty bold! Plus the entire part where she laughs at Jake's "rich boy routine") (also compare and contrast to Jeremy's "I don't know what I'm supposed to say right now." idk. are your allistic stage dorks in the room with us right now motherfuckers)
I'd go on about her hyperfixations/special interests too but I think Play Rehearsal pretty much sums it up lol
2. How she was ostracized
All this to say that I am CERTAIN she spent a lot of her schooling having "nice girls" patiently let her sit with them at lunch for weeks at a time until they finally get sick of her rambling and faux pas. Only when they leave does Christine realize that they didn't actually care about anything she said... And this happens over and over and over. (I know this seems hella specific but I swear it's an actual phenomenon... at least I'm pretty sure? sdjflksjf)
But anyway, it's clear that by the time they're juniors, Christine has kind of (and I do only mean kind of) figured out what behaviour other people respond poorly to. And from evidence I stated in the intro, I think she's become really careful about which people she lets herself get attached to. She doesn't want this to ever happen again - which means if she's going to hang out with someone, she has to know that they actually care about her, that they know she will sometimes be obnoxious or blunt, and they'll still be okay with that forever.
3. Applying this to her canon relationships
You can extend this to Jake, someone who sees her in her element in drama rehearsal (the thing everyone finds annoying about her because she won't shut up about it) and STILL likes her. I think it's a totally valid reading that her bluntness with him later ("Upgrade") is just because she misreads him / doesn't quite get the social standard that she should be white lying instead. But I think you could also read her as testing the waters. If she's really going to commit to dating this guy, she's gotta know he's okay with her being herself. And the fact that this guy (and I think it's significant that he is a boy, for reasons I'll explain in the end note) genuinely seems to like her is a whole new level of peer validation ("I am flattered, this is new") -- so of course she's gonna fall at least a little! It doesn't hurt that he's "tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am..." just like her!
Her history with being pity-liked makes Chloe's "advice," that Jake's just toying with her and is going to move on soon, even scarier, because that's genuinely happened to her (on a platonic level) so many times before.
Jeremy is also a good candidate from the beginning because he's weird he's a weirdo he doesn't fit in and he doesn't wanna fit in you ever see him without this stupid cardigan on? that's weird! And she keeps warming up to him not only because they're getting to know each other but because he gets progressively more willing to not only tolerate (as Jake does) but *participate* in her weirdness!
First, she does something weird and he tolerates it ("Play Rehearsal"); the next time she's weird, he participates! (bowling ball before GTIKBI). Then finally finally finally he initiates the weirdness and lets her join in! ("weird noises" exchange before GTIKBI reprise).
And notably, it is THIS moment that canonically signifies that they've hit the apex of their canon relationship development. If there was an achievement called "Befriend Christine," it would have popped up right then and there!!!
IN CONCLUSION: YOUR HONOR I LOVE THEM T_T
4: Christine vs. Jeremy: Gender differences & how that ultimately impacts their social goals
I also think all of this would have happened to Jeremy too if he'd been a girl. But because, generally, young boys feel less social obligation than girls to take pity on the autistic kid (and because boys tend to be more quickly recognized as autistic) he just ends up completely alone for most of his school life (Michael nonwithstanding - and yeah there's an important distinction between your childhood friend putting up with you and knowing that, woah, I guess literally nobody else ever will).
Meanwhile, Christine has had people "put up" with her, and she's SICK OF IT!
That's part of why their complexes are so different, because Christine is trying to check everyone she meets to make sure they'll be okay with her weirdness before she gets attached, Jeremy is trying to eliminate his weirdness altogether because he's never even experienced his peers listening out of *pity* so how the hell can he expect someone to ever listen to him out of *interest?*
Jeremy has never had someone pretend to like him before, so he completely lacks Christine's fear of befriending someone who secretly hates you. He doesn't realize how bad it'll hurt him if he destroys his real self for popularity, if he befriends people who would have bullied his real self. He doesn't know what disingenuous friendship feels like, so like a very young Christine he's still actively trying to get there because he thinks it's the only kind of validation he'll ever get.
Do you see what im saying? Do you see it???? AUAUGUGUUGGH

Pay attention to how they treat and talk about other people.
You're not an exception.
They will probably treat you the same way in times of crisis.

A little rant over the why I consider that Bakugou Katsuki is autistic
Disclaimer: This is just one of my many mha theories. I would rather if people didn't attack me for this. If you don't like it, just ignore it!. Also, I believe he probably has PTSD as well, but that’s for a different post. This post HAS manga spoilers!
I added pictures this time!
______________________________________________________________
Special interest
I believe Katsuki has two special interests. Becoming a hero, and All Might. He is a person that constantly feels the need to mask, which leads to him hiding and minimising his special interest in All Might despite being an All Might fan basically his entire life. A clear proof of this, is keeping hidden his All Might limited edition card despite always carrying it in his pocket. The reason why he doesn’t mask his special interest in becoming a hero as much, is because it’s an interest that he has been praised for through all his life after his quirk manifested. (Which I find quite interesting, taking into account how this gives us more insight about how their society works, quirk and quirkless discrimination, and the way society praises and treats heroes as gods).
Tumblr media
Low empathy and emotional dysregulation 
He has trouble identifying and expressing his own emotions, despite feeling them very intensely, which I believe leads him to mask by displaying anger. Because of this, he struggles with vulnerability as well, wanting to maintain his reputation and image of strength and victory, and hiding all of his potential “weakness”, including, his autistic traits. 
He also struggles with emotional regulation, causing him to have sudden “outbursts” since he suppresses his emotions, until they explode. (no pun intended). 
This is something shown in his fight against Midoriya, and how the only way he knew to express his emotions, was through fighting, and being angry at himself, and at the world. 
He struggles to recognize the feelings of other people, he is unable to relate personally to others' feelings, and doesn’t know how to show empathy, especially verbally. (This doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care for the people around him. He is actually a very kind and caring person. He helps Kirishima study, he defends his classmates, he trains with Izuku. The first thing he asked after waking up from a severe injury was how Todoroki and Midoriya were. In the manga, we see him taking into account Shouto’s past, and actually listen to him when they were dealing with the kids. He clearly cares for the Todoroki’s too). 
He needs routine
Tumblr media
He has a very specific routine, and always goes to bed at the same hour. This could also be because he needs to spend some alone time after a long day of socialising and dealing with sensory input in order to calm down and relax, and actually be able to sleep. 
He needs to have time to recharge
Apart from what I just explained about his routine, this is also something we see after he has a panic attack during the Battle trial Arc. He leaves early, making Deku and All Might worry that he was going to drop out, when in reality, he just needed time for himself. 
Tumblr media
Has a different way to view the world
During the sports festival arc, when he was analysing one of the fights, we got to see a little bit of the way he methodically analyses and understands things, and it’s shown that one of the things he does to take things apart, is thinking about it like a videogame! (Which I find really cute by the way, especially because he doesn't strike me as a videogame person). 
Sensory issues
His sensory issues focus on physical touch, as we see him avoid physical contact with others multiple times, for example, when he struggled with the hug that Endeavor gave him and Natsuo and practically ran away. He also struggles with tight clothes, and it’s probably one of the reasons why he uses oversized clothing, and hates the school uniform tie. 
Tumblr media
I believe that in the sports festival he felt overstimulated by the restraints, and that, in addition to his PTSD, and trauma related to the sludge villain, lead him to having a meltdown. 
Tumblr media
(Also, what the fuck with U.A, why would they put RESTRAINS on a child, and then HUMILLIATE him in public, and in television??)
He also has a surprisingly high pain tolerance, which means that he has difficulty processing pain stimuli.
Stimming
He very often grits his teeth, which can be interpreted as a stim, and his way of dealing with the stress and struggle of daily life.
I believe he uses his insults, and curses, not only to avoid having to interact with others, but also, as a vocal stim. Especially curse words. And his iconic ‘Tch’.
Another example of a stim, can be his habit of creating mini explosions with his quirk when he's under stress. 
He also has a very atypical posture, which is just a small thing that I would like to mention.
Struggles with social cues and understanding how to behave and adjust depending on the context
This is something that in my opinion, can be seen mostly when interacts with class 1-B, and on the first episode, especially on his discussion with Iida. He overcompensates his lack of understanding of his own body language through his (sort of) aggressive and ‘exaggerated’  movements.
As I already mentioned earlier, I believe he uses the curse words as a vocal stim, however, I also consider that the way he casually throws around the world ‘die’, is him not understanding social cues, and the fact that this is usually considered something bad. He probably understood this later and just didn’t care though. 
He avoids maintaining eye contact for too long with others, and stares at the floor very often.
He is also a very ‘blunt’ and direct person, and won’t hesitate to call people out, even if it’s seen as rude. For example, he was not afraid to call the Todoroki’s out in their diner, and also didn’t hesitate to question All Might when they were observing as Izuku train. 
Tumblr media
He is a very observant and detail oriented person
People underestimate how analytic and observant Bakugou is because of his impulsive facade, however, in my opinion he is one of the most observant people in class 1-A. This is something that shines mostly when it comes to battle, for example in the final exam, and in the ‘Futari no hero’ movie, where he was able to quickly pick up how the quirk of one of the villains worked, and on the joint training arc with class 1-B as well. 
Strong sense of justice and rigid thinking
His way of thinking is very ‘black and white’. An example of this is his difficulty changing his mind about Izuku being useless. (We also know that this is deeply rooted in his insecurities, but I believe this also has an impact on it). 
His ‘win to save’ mindset, and determination to defeat every villain no matter what, in my opinion is an example of his strong sense of justice.
Speaking differences/struggles 
He very evidently has difficulty with volume control of his voice, causing him to scream most of the time mostly by accident. 
Other little details that I want to mention
He has a difficulty remembering names and faces, causing him to rely at the beginning on his nicknames. Which if you think about it, usually has something to do with the physical appearance of the person. Kirishima’s hair, Uraraka’s facial structure, Todoroki’s hair (and quirk), Momo’s hairstyle, Iida’s glasses, Sero’s ‘plain appearance’ (I don’t know how else to describe it, don’t hate me, I love Sero), etc.
His skull t-shirts that basically grew up with him. He probably likes them because of the familiarity they bring, being an item that he had worn through his life. 
_________________________________________________
In conclusion: He is autistic and very heavily misunderstood. I love Bakugou, I think he is an amazing, and very complex character, and I love it when people analyse him, so if anyone has anything to add, or a different perspective, please do comment on it. 
Thank you for reading my one AM rant. Sleep? I don't know her!

Shigaraki is autistic and do to this spends a lot of time using stim toys, wearing his noise cancelling headphones, and collecting stuffed animals as they have textures that help calm him!
Shigaraki loves gaming in his feee time and it’s no different when he’s regressed! When he’s tiny though his favourites are Animal crossing and Minecraft!
Shigaraki loves watching Disney movies and kids YouTube videos, his favourites being og Minecraft players like stamps cat and Dan tdm
Shigaraki loves curling up with his friends in a cozy little blanket fort and eating his favourite comfort snacks

No thoughts just autistic bakugou with a male reader who treats him right😫🙏
Male reader who can tell the difference between annoyance, actual anger, or overstimulation just thru bakugous different genres of yelling
Male reader who doesn't move on to physical touch until he's sure bakugou is comfortable with it
Male reader who texts him "do u want to leave?" When bakugou gets overwhelmed at a party
Male reader who calls him "my beautiful princess with a disorder" when he's apologizing
Male reader who lets bakugou feel comfortable enough to stim around him the way he can't around other people
Male reader who doesn't get offended by bakugous insults bc he knows it's just a vocal stim
Male reader who can also tell when it's a stim or when he's genuinely upset or uncomfortable and knows how to deal with it
Male reader who is generally very calm but will absolutely get violent if someone tries to make bakugou uneasy (i.e. being too much in his personal space, cutting him off when he's infodumping, calling out his stims)
Male reader who is one of the only people who bakugou can infodump to freely and without care, and who genuinely listens and asks questions so he can elaborate more on the parts he likes talking about
Male reader who gets along enough with bakugous friends without necessarily being in the friend group but is close enough to trust that they won't do anything to make bakugou uncomfortable
Male reader who has a group chat with all of bakugous classmates that bakugou himself doesn't even know about so he can check on him without making bakugou feel like he's being coddled
Male reader who bakugou trusts with his life and finds it easy to be vulnerable around
Male reader who notices even the littlest things about bakugou from the things he likes to the things he doesn't, the jokes he finds funny, his demeanor around certain people etc etc
Male reader who also lets bakugou take care of him so he doesn't feel like he's the only one being cared for in this relationship, and lets him know there's a balance to their dynamic that he doesn't often get with others
Male reader who has memorized all his lore and knows what kind of things make him uncomfortable, especially around his family, like when his mom makes snarky comments about him or when his dad acts a little too soft for his liking
Ok that's all I got for now, as u can see I'm REALLY OBSESSED with autistic bakugou right now as I myself am neurodivergent, and I like to think that bakugou would have a partner who understands him the way I wish other people would with me😅 these are all based on my own experiences and what I look for in a partner haha

My Hot Take for the day is that autism is actually very often portrayed well in media, and that having a character outrightly say "i am autistic" kinda takes some of the nuance out of that character. Because now that we have a one word label to describe what they are, we can use that as an excuse to look at them differently, through That Lens Only.
A character who is obsessed with a particular thing (a special interest, if you will), to the point that everything they do is somehow linked back to that interest.
A character who is actually incredibly logically efficient, but NEEDS their space to do their work properly.
A character who HAS emotions, just like everyone else, but for the sake of survival, has to bottle up those emotions and just stay focused on the objective.
Characters in media, real life celebrities, your closest friends. You KNOW someone who is autistic in all of these mediums, perhaps multiple people. You just don't see it, because YOU only recognize a select few behaviours as autistic, or YOU can only see someone as autistic if the canon (or a doctor) labels them that way.
Anyway the main cast of Dungeon Meshi are all autistic. And so are Will Graham and Hannibal, and so is Deku from My Hero Academia.
