bonus points if little!ilya Figures Out through trial and error what gives shane cuteness aggression and he doubles down to see how much he can get away with before shane is chasing him around the house trying to shower him w kisses and pinching his little cheeks!!!!

WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY i agree with you 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ he definitely gets cuteness aggression from little ilya when he's just woken up from his nap because he's so sleepy & wiggly & his eyes are barely open & shane just wants to squeeze him!!!!

do you have any other autistic little!shane headcanons?? i would love to hear more of your thoughts!!!!

Ooooh yes always I'm gonna try not to repeat myself bcs I've talked about autistic Shane in a few posts

I picture Shane regressing around 4-6 and when he was an actual child he didn't really start speaking until almost 5, and that was mostly because as he was starting school speech therapists became more involved and started introducing alternative/augmented communication methods and for Shane who was previously very happy with his family knowing what he wants from expression and gestures and mostly just anticipating his habits and preferences and Did Not Like being made to take the extra step to choose things from pictures, that was all very inconvenient to him so it was worth talking, but his speech remained very functional rather than conversational, and that carries over into regression so he can answer questions about food and what he wants to do, but he doesn't have any interest in conversations and struggles to verbalise his feelings, which Ilya is always learning to be better at helping him with but definitely leads to a few meltdowns when Shane can't explain what he got up to that morning before seeing Ilya let alone why he's frustrated or necessarily understand for himself that's what he's feeling

Textures are difficult for him - in theory he's the perfect age for so much messy play but he really doesn't like touching things that are wet, slimy, or grainy which puts most sensory activities for his age out But! He does love building and arranging things and has fun playing with sand if he has disposable gloves on

In general he likes putting things in order and arranging scenes rather than more traditional imaginative play - he builds the same sand castle every time, he draws the same pictures, and builds the same square buildings with his Duplo, and he has a blast setting up a big wooden train track and putting all the scenery down in juuust the right place, but once he's done that and Ilya expects they're now going to push the trains around and play taking the passengers to the different shops and parks Shane goes 'finished!' And just walks away because he's had his fun
