Autistic Choices headcanons
Ava: very touch-averse, doesn’t give a shit about conforming to social norms, hates/doesn’t understand emotional stuff, has meltdowns when pushed too far (which for her take the form of physical violence/aggression), special interest in the occult
Lily: hyperempathetic, dresses in an unconventional way and is made fun of for it, special interest in video games/coding, likes rules and clear limits (which is why she was scared about her art class bc there’s “no objective rubric for success”)
Madison: doesn’t understand sarcasm, takes things very literally, likes the structure and support of being in a sorority, often overly cuddly/affectionate
Tyler: not great at reading people, gets anxious in social situations, good at spotting tiny details, special interest in computer science, finds comfort in being around his nerdy friends bc there’s no pressure to act “normal”
Penelope: special interest in poodles, struggles with understanding social cues (like knowing when people do and don’t want to hear about her poodles), gets overwhelmed by the pressure of being at court and interacting with people

Aiden: awkward and anxious in social situations, special interest in music, sometimes has trouble with sarcasm and understanding common expressions, uses music as a way of interpreting and understanding the world around him
Maria: likes the organization and structure of event planning, struggles with understanding sarcasm, finds comfort in routine (which is why she was so attached to her birthday cake always being red velvet), sometimes comes off as harsh and abrasive due to not understanding social norms
