1. What are some of your autistic headcanons? Optional: Explain why.Hermione Granger and Bolin - look, they flap in-text, it’s hardly a headcanon.  All of my projection characters of course - Lucy Pevensie, Mace Windu, Halt O’Carrick, Minerva McGonagall, Lin Beifong, Spock (canonically has a learning disability!).  All of Rogue One.  Every single Jedi except the assholes.  All of the Gaang and Krew .... look, if I like them, they’re autistic.  That’s the rule.

7. What do you want to see society/schools/parents do to be more accommodating to autistic people?Hm.  A change from the ground-up.  Focus needs to stop being on fitting individuals to society, and needs to start being on fitting society to individuals.

16. Do you collect anything? If so, what do you collect and why?Paint cards and buttons.  Paint cards are pretty, and buttons are clacky.  I like the names of paint cards, too, and buttons are practical. 

one: I don't care. I don't care what it looks like. As long as it's comfy.

But like. It’s okay to want a diagnosis! It’s okay to want words to describe yourself! It’s okay to find labels helpful! It’s okay! It’s good to want to understand yourself better and to find labels helpful in doing that.
