Autistic Head Canons Pt 2
Yeah I’m gonna do another one of these, why not?
Hermione Granger from Harry Potter is both born Autistic and a witch, her special interests are books, she has NT muggle parents, she’s self-diagnosed because in the 90’s, people didn’t know much about autism and didn’t know women can be autistic too. Hermione is socially awkward as she spoke overly formally at 11 yrs old in the first movie and book and tended to frustrate Harry and Ron upon their first meeting, but she does have empathy, hence her being Gryffindor and being friends with Harry, and is she’s somewhat socially aware.
She’s brilliant at being a witch and often helps save the day, she stims by practicing her favorite spells, reading, petting her cat Crookshanks etc. She also likes deep pressure hugs and also the whole magic people v muggles can be somewhat analogous for neurodivergence, since neurodivergent wizards and witches have to suppress their magical selves and pass as NT muggles. What’s your favorite head canon? What’s your Patronus? Who should I head canon next? Like and Reblog your response for more things fun and Neurodiversity related, much love:)
