Jack Kelly with an Autistic S/O
As promised I wrote a bunch of headcannons about jack with an autistic s/o. This is super important to me bc I am autistic and there are hardly any HCs for autism in any fandom but this one in particular due to the time period. So I fixed that.
Please note that everyone's experience with autism is different and are valid. This is based on my experiences (I love pressure stimming by hugging but only with people I really trust) and in no way is the only way to be autistic. I highly encourage my fellow autistic fansies to add to this post if you have more headcannons!!
That's about it for now, let me know what you think (please be nice I just had a meltdown irl and I'm a lil jumbled)
-jack is so good at pressure stimming first of all -he wraps his arms around them and squeezes until they tell him to stop and he hums or sways really gently -he is also the master of blanket burritos -if they're having a self injurious meltdown he knows exactly what to do -he hugs them tight so they can't punch themselves and so they can pressure stim -of course that means he takes a few punches but he knows they aren't meaning to -and he really doesn't mind at all he just wants them safe -he also is helpful when it comes to sensory overload -he covers their ears tightly when a bad sound comes -he reminds them to do body checks -"are you understimulated? Do you want to fidget with something?" "Do you want to go somewhere quiet?" -THE KING OF STIM TOYS -literally he always has them in his pocket for them -he also doesn't mind when they stim -he thinks it's super cute when they happy flap over something exciting -but if they start going into sensory overload he is so good about getting them to a better space -his go to place is the theater because it's usually empty and quiet during the day -but if they do have a meltdown he asks permission to touch them and if they say no he just stands by in case they need him -unless it becomes injurious which is when he steps in and pulls them into his chest and holds them there firmly but not so they're stuck and panic more. -And he does the humming thing and gently plays with their hair -"sweetheart I need ya to breathe, slow down and breathe wit me. Can ya do that, doll face? Can ya do it another time? Good, good" -he also watches out for Snyder for them because he knows that if they are caught, they will be locked in the refuge for good -he is honestly just so supportive of his autistic partner -he respects their boundaries (because he's a decent human being) and never forces them into situations they don't want (again bc he's a decent person) -also if they're having a meltdown he sings so softly to them -just loud enough for them to hear so they have to focus to hear, distracting them from their discomfort -JACK KELLY LOVES HIS AUTISTIC S/O SO GOD DAMN MUCH HE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THEM
PLEASE RB THIS SO OTHERS CAN SEE THEM
