Wile E. Coyote actually provides a lot of funny visuals of what being autistic feels like.
When my routine is intact.
When my routine gets broken.
[Two animated cartoon gifs of Wile E. Coyote. He is wearing a green Batman-like costume that allows him to fly. In the top gif (routine intact) he is flying smoothly through the sky without a care in the world. In the bottom gif (routine broken) he looks at the viewer like ‘I’m so cool’ right before he crashes into the side of a cliff.]
[Animated gif of Wile E. laying on his stomach in the desert sand, quietly picking up a handful of sand and staring intently at it as it falls through his fingers. He’s plotting yet another way to catch that elusive Road Runner.]
[Animated gif of Wile E. trying to jump off a clifftop and swing Tarzan-style on a rope that is hung off something offscreen. Rather than swing, he smashes into another outcropping below the one he jumped off of because he miscalculated the length of his swing rope.]
Engaging in a special interest
[Animated gif of Wile E. riding on a rocket. His tongue is lolled out and flapping beside him and his eyes have a look of triumphant glee. He’s moving very fast and loving it!]
Sensory overload leading to a meltdown
[Animated gif of looking over Wile E.’s shoulder. He’s watching a steam engine train approach. It hits and there’s a flash of colors, stars and circles to indicate the impact. Afterward there is a brief glimpse of him flattened on the tracks.]
[Animated gif of Wile E. tumbling uncontrollably along a dirt road with dust flying up around him.]
…but the social rules keep changing
[Two animated gifs of Wile E. with a boulder-flinging catapult triggered by pulling a rope. In the top gif, he stands at the “front” end of the catapult and pulls the rope. The catapult throws the boulder onto him instead of at the Road Runner. In the bottom gif, he stands at the “back” end of the catapult and pulls the rope when the Road Runner passes in a blur of color and smoke. The catapult defies the rules of physics by flipping over onto him instead of shooting the boulder at the Road Runner.]
