I forgot i made these 😛 like/reblog if u save 👉👈
I want to preface this by saying two things, first, I am Autistic, I was born with and diagnosed with Aperger’s Syndrome at a very young age; second, my opinions are my own and I do not speak for all Autistic people, this post is simply me expressing my own views on the subject of Autistic headcanons.
Ok, now what do I think of Autistic headcanons? To put it simply, I hate them with a burning passion.
But to put it more complexly, whenever I see people make posts about their Autistic headcanons of their favorite characters from their favorite books, comics, movies, or TV shows I am filled with this indescribable sense of dread and discomfort. These types of posts never fail to make flinch and grimace, and for the longest time I couldn’t understand why. But now I can finally articulate my emotions.
To me, Autistic headcanons are incredibly dehumanizing.
Most of the people who make Autistic headcanons treat it like a fun window dressing to explain why their favorite characters are so ‘wacky and weird’ instead of the disability that I and so many others are forced to live with.
My Asperger’s Syndrome is an intrinsic part of who I am, and while it does not define who I am as a person, my disability has played a critical role in shaping my worldview and many other aspects of my life.
To use an analogy, think of every human being as a cake; we’re all made of with same base ingredients of flour, water, eggs, and sugar, but unique ingredients are added in during the preparation before each person goes into the oven to bake. That’s what Autism is, an ingredient, but the people who make Autistic headcanons don’t treat like an ingredient, they treat like frosting. Autistic headcanons treat this integral part of who I am, something I was born with and will stay me for the rest of my life, as something to be added on after or on top of their favorite characters.
To see my disability and all my struggle and hardships brought on by it reduced to a ‘fun and quirky’ decoration feels incredibly insulting and dehumanizing.
Look, I know that the people making these Autistic headcanons don’t have any malicious intention, they’re just having fun. But I feel like they make these headcanons with only a cursory knowledge of what it is and without any regard for actual people, like myself, who were born with it.
They’re often made based on incredibly stereotypical and surface level elements associated with Autism that often are not actual indications of the disability. I also see them mostly being made about the ‘weird’ characters, the ones that actively act in outrageous ways. Probably the worst part is that feel like these people think we all act in exactly the same and display the same symptoms when that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Every person with Autism is different, if you have met one Autistic person you have met one Autistic person, we are not a hive mind.
Again, I am just expressing my personal opinions on Autistic headcanons, I speak only for myself and no one else. I’ve met Autistic people who love them, I’ve met Autistic who feel the same as me, and I’ve met Autistic people who are completely indifferent and apathetic to them; we’re all different.
And to reiterate, I am not saying that the people who make Autistic headcanons are bad people and I’m sure they only have the best of intentions. If you have made Autistic headcanons and they make you happy, more power to you, but I only ask that you re-examine why you make them.
My Autism is a disability and an intrinsic part of who I am, not ‘fun and quirky’ window dressing.
Thank you for reading, please have a wonderful day.
In case you watch recent anime shows and you are somehow not aware, Yuki Hayashi is the brilliant composer behind the magnificent OSTs to many popular titles: Haikyuu!!, Boku no Hero Academia, Death Parade, One Piece Gold, Ballroom e Youkoso, Kiznaiver, Gundam Build Fighters, Karakuri Circus, Dive!!, Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru —and that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Last year we already organized a project dedicated to his birthday, it was pretty grand lol and kind of complicated, we ended up having about a hundred participants from over 20 countries, and the composer was incredibly happy to receive such a gift (not even gonna lie, I’m pretty happy that we managed to make him cry x). So we decided to do something similar this year as well, only it’s going to be WAY LESS COMPLICATED and will literally take you UNDER 5 MINUTES!
Here’s what you need to do:
1) Go to this Google form and leave one (1) wish for the composer.
That’s it. Literally.
We’ve procrastinated and now it’s finals hell, so we don’t have much time, but still couldn’t help doing at least something.
I know that many of us listen to his (and not only his) music for free for obvious reasons, and guys, first of all, I really recommend you to buy at least the CDs with your favorite music to directly support the creators, but if you can’t do it, such projects are literally the least we can do to thank them for the incredible work that they’re doing to make our experience of seeing our favorite characters come to life an unforgettable one. So please, do help us out, especially since it barely requires any effort at all from you! Just try and be creative about it :)
We’ll translate everything into Japanese, probably put it into some kind of an album and make sure it gets to the composer! I’ll let you know how it goes in January.
His birthday is on December 31st, so please hurry up! We’ll probably wrap things up around 29th-30th.
You can also do something on your own if you wish! Hayashi-san really appreciates such things, and he absolutely loves it when people draw his dogs (especially Chloe-chan, we can see her on many OSTs covers), so don’t be shy! You can @ him on Twitter or Instagram.
Thank you in advance for your help! Let’s show the composer that his music is really appreciated outside of Japan as well! ᕙ( * •̀ ᗜ •́ * )ᕗ

WHITE PEOPLE REBLOG THIS ONE:
when you are in public with your black friend/friends DO NOT make jokes, or loud jokes about crime. do not yell at people when you are walking down the street, do not make jokes about robbing or stealing. YOU might be able to make those jokes by yourself, but when you are in presence of a black person, the effects can be DIRE.
