{ my favorite neurodivergent coded characters 54/ā¾ļø }
"I didn't do anything. All I did was pick up the sword, and then, woosh, I'm in a tiara!"
Dank farrik š I tried to make a face by template concepting video Ć la Eobe and it turned out fun chaos so I have to show it! ššāØ
I picked Crosshair, because heās got the most uncommon clone face shape in my opinion and because he got to few friendly attention from my side in the last time (only fun attention, poor kitty Croissant actually not sorry) AND OF COURSE he jinxed it š¤š
While drawing I collected my thoughts, fails and drawing frustrations and I drew little funny extras so that itās possible to read decipher the notes despite the rush of the timelapse š And I already thought yeah, this is getting a messy thing⦠š
⦠AND THEN my screen bugged and crashed my brush!! š±š Aaahh sweet chaos! But great, I go for it, letās look how far I get before my drawing device starts burning or something š¤·š½āāļø
Is making āFun drawing process Ć la Eobeā a thing? š I giggled and definitely had fun like a child playing and hope you have fun with my weird and quite ADHD coded timelapse too! š And also I hope besides fun, itās maybe a bit inspiring to try out (what was the original intention before I noticed that itās getting chaotic š )
The result is super messy speedy hatched Crosshair! And I kind of like it! Itās his vibe š¤·š½āāļø So have a look:
The finished colored Crosshair getās his own posting, grumpy sniper deserves it and a hug š¤āØI think he wrote the ALT text
Vod, vor entye for giving me the push to do this and sharing @wings-and-beskargam šāØš«¶ This is the way!
Nix, here it is, have a āļø to that dry š„⨠@crosshairs-dumb-pimp-gf

Wheatley has ADHD
Itās a common enough occurrence that it probably deserves its own trope ā aliens, robots and any other nonhuman character almost always end up with autistic traits. Itās because writers take a nonhuman character and go āwell, how do I make this character register as nonhuman, but still human enough that audiences will like them?ā And the answer is making them neurodivergent. Iām not personally inclined to say that this is a good or a bad thing, though I can see how it might be taken that way.
However, some authors like myself do it intentionally, to demonstrate how neurodivergent people can end up ostracized.
Some examples of common traits that are autistic-coded and writers give to nonhuman characters are as follows:
-difficulty understanding metaphor, sarcasm or exaggeration
-overly blunt in communication
-unawareness of others emotions/incorrect reaction to said emotions
-difficulty realizing their own emotions
-need for a strict schedule in order to be happy
Of course, thereās more out there, but Iāve seen these pop up quite a lot.
However, the Portal seriesā fantastic writing team did not follow these stereotypes with their robots, and thatās what I would like to cover today.
I would go over GLaDOS in relation to this idea, like she clearly understands sarcasm, but she doesnāt quite fit for reasons that would be obvious to anyone whoās played through Portal 2. Iām here to talk about Wheatley, the other main robot we get to know in Portal 2.
Wheatley is not autistic coded. He has no problem speaking to strangers or making eye contact. He enjoys sarcasm almost as much as GLaDOs, and so on and so forth.
However, Wheatley is most definitely neurodivergent-coded, and itās fascinating because for once, maybe for the only time ever in popular media that Iāve ever noticed, a robot is adhd-coded instead of being autistic-coded.
What do I mean by that? First of all, if you havenāt finished Portal 2 go do it now. Itās relatively cheap on Steam and itās amazing. Moving on ā it all stems from what weāre told Wheatley is, during the betrayal scene with GLaDOS. Now to preface this, GLaDOS is a liar. You can take most of what she says with a grain of salt. But, what she says is all we have officially to go off of.
To add further context to this line, the personality cores or āAperture Science Personality Constructsā (the line of robots that Wheatley is a part of) were specifically built in order to be plugged into GLaDOSā systems to slow her down and to keep her from killing everyone in Aperture. In the first Portal game, Chell, the player character, incinerates the four āsuccessfulā cores that supposedly were the last ones needed to stop GLaDOS. However, given that the character has to travel through an empty facility to do so, itās clear that they werenāt nearly as successful as the engineers had thought. Later, as core after core was built and none of them worked to stop GLaDOS, Aperture was needing robot maintenance of some kind since all of their human faculty were being killed, fired due to financial ruin, and/or quitting, and so the personality constructs were repurposed to try and keep the facility from falling apart.
Aside from GlaDOS and Wheatley, we donāt see any ānon-corruptedā cores. And even both of them are corrupted, with GLaDOS being 80% corrupted and Wheatley assumedly 25%, after doing some quick math of the boss fight. This would normally affect my ability for confident analysis, but luckily in this case I donāt need them to prove that good ol Wheatley is adhd-coded.
Because right from the get-go, āgenerating an endless stream of terrible ideasā sounds pretty damn adhd to me, as someone who has both inattentive and hyperactive adhd myself. Now, thatās not to say every idea a person with adhd has is a bad one. Thatās not even the case with Wheatley, despite it being what weāre told, because again, GLaDOS is an unreliable narrator. Itās Wheatleyās ideas that keep her from killing Chell with turrets or neurotoxin. Heās the one who gets Chell to dismantle those systems. Those are clearly not bad ideas.
But what about other adhd traits? Having an endless stream of ideas isnāt even on a symptom list of being adhd, itās usually just a side effect of everything else going on. Well, Wheatley has plenty of them.
Hyperactive-type adhd symptoms include but are not limited to;
-fidgeting
-excessive physical movement
-excessive talking
-impulsive behavior
-restlessness/impatience
Oh but how can a robot ball fidget or have excessive physical movement, you may ask. Well. This is the most expressive ball I have ever seen in my life. Wheatley is constantly moving, shifting panels, popping his eye out, spinning in his casing and so forth. The excessive talking one is easy, my younger brother (also an adhd yapper, who has no room to talk) was trying to throw Wheatley over the railing into the bottomless pit beneath Aperture ābecause he was yappingā too much. This is unusual for a robot character (outside of the Portal series) whereas they tend to speak when spoken to. Wheatley is generally impulsive, but this is especially noticeable when heās hooked up to the facility in the GLaDOS chassis. After PotatOS calls him a moron, he proceeds to punch her and Chell into the abyss below without thinking about it, reacting out of anger until he realizes theyāre about to drop, right before they do. Interestingly, that sort of impulsive rage reaction is more often seen in monster characters, like perhaps a werewolf situation. It sort of adds to the framing that now Wheatley is in control of the facility, he has become something monstrous. Now, judging his patience level accurately is difficult, given that in the beginning heās in a high-stress, deadly situation and later, when heās in the chassis, heās being affected by symptoms of drug withdrawal. However, he is impatient, such as when heās playing the recorded sound of knocking on a door at the beginning. Granted, heāll go on āknockingā forever because itās necessary for the story, but he speaks up every couple of minutes asking if you/Chell are going to open the door already. Again, this is unique for a robot character, as they tend to wait on a player or another characterās actions before responding to it, rather than initiating.
Impressively, these are not all the symptoms Wheatley demonstrates. There is another form of adhd, known as Inattentive-type adhd. The symptoms can include the following;
-Short attention span
-Overlooking details
-Careless mistakes
-Inability to stick to tedious tasks
-Difficulty organizing tasks
-Constantly changing tasks
-Difficulty listening to and carrying out instructions
For having a short attention span, this is again, difficult to determine for Wheatley in a normal setting. In the beginning heās mostly able to focus, but heās in a life-or-death scenario. However, he does ramble on about things that have no relevance to what he and the player character are doing, such as when heās telling the player character about the many jobs heās had around Aperture and been subsequently released from. He definitely has issues overlooking details, such as when he and Chell are supposed to be dismantling the neurotoxin facilities. While heās busy āhackingā a computer that may or may not even regulate the facility in the first place, Chell dismantles the generator and he doesnāt even realize sheās doing it at first, because heās distracted listing off the hardware of the computer. As for careless mistakes, again, this could be simply the situation heās in, but he definitely makes them. Like when heās transporting the relaxation chamber in the first chapter, he runs into an unbelievable amount of other relaxation chambers, tearing Chellās apart. Or even when heās supposed to be guiding her around Aperture but he dips into wrong corners and has to recorrect. He most visibly has difficulty with tedious tasks when heās in the chassis, as the facility is literally falling apart because he didnāt bother reading the manual or taking care of the massive amount of upkeep the facility requires. But again, heās suffering symptoms of drug withdrawal as well that could be affecting his ability to do that. However, given his descriptions of his job loss, mentioned above, we can gather that this is likely an issue he had before ever being a part of the core transfer. This also is in line with difficulty organizing tasks. As for constantly changing tasks, again, he has somewhat better focus in the beginning because if he doesnāt heāll die, and later heās exceptionally distracted by a need to test. But even when he should be consumed with the need to test, and he does watch Chell for most of it, he does stop watching randomly at times to do⦠Who knows what. When it should be the only thing he can focus on. As for difficulty listening to and carrying out instructions, again, the facility falls apart and Wheatley kept being fired for similar, if not the same reasons.
So. That covers basic symptoms and how Wheatley fits pretty much all of them. But, a lesser known side effect of adhd is that it can easily lead to the development of other neurodivergent disorders such as anxiety and depression. Adhd is also linked to something known as emotional dysregulation. Wheatley clearly exhibits signs of anxiety. Heās terrified of dying, and says as much at several points. Not only is he especially scared of dying, but heās scared of judgment, too. Heās constantly trying to seem more important or smarter than he is, and even though Chell is a silent protagonist, when he takes over the facility before being affected by the testing withdrawals, he assumes sheās been secretly plotting against him the entire time. Depression is more difficult to spot in Wheatley, as heās not lethargic, but, again, a high-stakes situation can allow a person to mask their symptoms for a brief period out of self-preservation.
However, I do want to point out he clearly displays emotional dysregulation, and not in the way one might expect from a robot character. Wheatley is exceptionally sensitive to criticism. When GLaDOS begins her spiel about him being an intelligence dampening sphere, he moves as far away he can from her, turning his back so he doesnāt have to look at her. He even goes so far as to say āNot listening!ā while sheās saying it. Then when she calls him a moron, he reacts violently, in a way he hadnāt so far in the game before that moment. He smashes her through the glass of the elevator and then, when she proceeds to call him a moron again, is when he smashes PotatOS and Chell into the pit. However, he doesnāt even need to even be actively insulted to react to perceived insults as just as much of a threat to his psyche. As mentioned earlier, despite Chell being a silent protagonist, and in some ways because Chell is a silent protagonist, Wheatley assumes that sheās been plotting against him from the start. Her perceived attacks against him are most especially notable during the boss fight. He points out that sheās always quiet, assuming that sheās āsilently judgingā him. He points out that she didnāt catch him when he fell off of his management rail in the beginning, and that she didnāt warn him that she was the one who killed GLaDOS.
All in all, Wheatley is a beautifully three-dimensional character, not in spite of being a robot, but rather, in some ways, because of it.
