Curate, connect, and discover
Why is it every single character I find that seems neurodivergent is always specifically targeted by fans/critics/etc as being annoying?Especially so if they seem like they have ADHD and/or Autism especially?
Me: *Just chilling, feeding into my batman hyper-fixation*
Me: *Sees some people posting autistic headcanons about batman characters*
Me: That's pretty cool. I wouldn't mind seeing an interpretation with a few of them being autistic at some point.
My brain: Which ones, though?
Me: I dunno, one could make an argument for just about any of them, really. Autism is such a varied thing that the mold could fit easily onto a lot of characters, I imagine.
My brain: Some people are headcanon-ing Riddler as autistic.
Me: I can see that. Some versions more than others though.
My brain: What about the other two members of the dork squad?
Me: I guess? They certainly have their hyperfixations, and they display some traits that you could tie to Autism-
Me: ...Oh shit.
And that's how I ended up with the autistic dork squad headcanon. All three of them.
You know what they say, 'birds of a feather flock together'.
