Neurodivergent hiccup my beloved <33
(based on common traits)
He has a tendency to overshare or accidentally give things away.
He’s insanely creative.
He’s generally very straightforward and honest.
Tends not to get overly invested in conversations that don’t somehow involve dragons (his special interest)
When talking about dragons, he gets very passionate and loud. Generally something that happens when an autistic person talks about their special interests.
When he gets upset, he tends to scream or yell and through his arms out. Sudden bursts of emotion.
You could say he loves flying so much because he’s sensory seeking.
He fidgets a lot. Could be considered stimming. This boy can NOT sit still.
He’s very sarcastic. (Yes even autistic people can be sarcastic, and in fact, many are)
He is just, so impulsive. About 60% of the time he DOES before he THINKS.
He talks with a lot of body and arm movement. He’s very outwardly expressive.
He has a VERY strong sense of justice.
He can be quite oblivious to flirting or things along the same lines. Remember when Astrid wore her betrothal necklace and quite literally shook her boobs and him and he didn’t even flinch?
He doesn’t seem to have a real big sense of self-preservation.
He focuses on the smaller details instead of the big picture. He’s also able to link one topic to another no matter how obscure.
So much empathy. Especially towards dragons.
On a similar note: he seems to prefer animals (namely dragons) over people.
He has a tendency to notice little things most others wouldn’t.
He’s extremely stubborn, and stuck in his mindset until proven wrong.
It’s common for autistic people to want to date people who they view as more of a dominant person (but obviously not always) but… *cough* astrid *cough cough*
He was bullied as a kid for being different and weird.
He over analyzes things to the point of it being unhealthy. Think about that whole thing with Viggo.
He detects patterns almost immediately and is generally very good at connecting the dots.
He can be quite clumsy.
When he comes up with something, he often interrupts people.
Similar note: he’s always thinking aloud or talking to himself.
I’m sure there’s more but that’s all I could think of.
