Okay so I know the Seiji ASD post was a while ago, but I just read it and… oh my god you’re absolutely right. I’ve been so so mad at how the novels portrayed Seiji and my own autistic ass has been waiting to rant about it to someone. I personally like to head canon Seiji as autistic but not like that…. One of my favorite points of yours was the struggle part of it, like how it seemed he was only harming others with zero consequences or any internal issue. That bothered me so much during the novels. A lack of social understanding is a problem for many autistic people and can be accidentally harmful to others but again ,seriously, not like that. Also kind of a side note but not really: what’s some of your favorite Seiji being autistic headcanons of yours?? Mine right now are: he flaps his hands when excited and he has an emotional disconnect with himself (like he can’t identify his emotions well leading to poor expression not that he just can’t express.)
OH MY GOD YWS!!! TYSM I put my whole renussy into that 🥹🥹🥹 it’s smth im so passionate about and im so glad u enjoyed it!!!
Autistic Seiji headcanons GO.
Sometimes he gets so locked in on special interests (fencing) he forgets to eat/sleep
I SO agree with the alexithymia 🥹 it takes him a few business days to realize what he’s feeling
I hc him to have OCD as well as ASD so he’s extremely rigid with his routines and he requires a lot of soothing to be able to even minorly break routine
He gets shutdowns fairly regularly and hides in the salle to calm down
Whenever he has meltdowns he RUNS. He just runs and doesn’t stop
Deep pressure rlly calms him!!! Sometimes when he’s feeling rlly overwhelmed Nicholas hugs him rlly tightly
One of his other special interests is World War 2, specifically WW2 weapons. He keeps very quiet abt this interest, esp to dedicate himself to fencing
He spends DAYS overthinking conversations and social interactions where he thinks he failed
He has to consciously make facial expressions, so everything his face does he puts effort into making it do
he can’t hear without subtitles
He suppresses his stims bc he got a lot of comments abt it as a child, but when he’s alone or comfortable (at his dorm) he rocks a lot, paces, rocks his head to music, and listens to the same song out loud on loop for hours
he watches two shows bc he watched them with his parents as a kid. Psych (2006) and Sesame Street. He won’t watch anything else unless it has fencing in it or is a WW2 documentary
sensory avoidant overall but sensory seeking with textures of clothing + fabrics! He loves unique fabrics, and if he didn’t get overwhelmed, he could spend hours in a fabric store
he has used the same hygiene products since he was 12 bc they’re the only ones he can handle the smell of
HATES the smell of his own body odor. BUCKETS of deodorant a day.
if it wasn’t for his diet plan, he’d be vegetarian simply bc he can’t stand the smell or texture of raw meat
