And It Is Hard To Accept They Do Not Love What I Love For They Are Not What I Am 

ADHD Neil Headcanons

Has a hyperfixation on theatre.

If you change your tone even slightly, you can see him start to get upset.

It looks as if he's got great coping mechanisms, but he's actually really good at masking.

Gets really burnt out on a night and so everyone knows not to disturb him, especially after dps meetings.

Will cuddle with Todd when he's burnt out.

Has a wall of sticky notes to remind him to do everything.

Needs routine otherwise he gets quite anxious, so the poets all know to tell him exactly what's happening in the day and where they will all be at certain times.

Never remembers what's for dinner, no matter how many times he's told.

Gets really loud when he's excited, especially in Keating's classes. (Same with Charlie)

He'll randomly shout a line from a poem or a play relating to what you just said.

Doesn't go non verbal very often but it has happened.

He learnt sign language for when Todd goes non verbal because of his autism.

Cameron actually had healthy coping mechanisms for some of his autism symptoms, so he helps Neil study because he knows how to break the work down so it's not overwhelming.

They all have a collection of fidget toys. (Charlie and Todd have the biggest collections, and they've made it a competition as to who has the better collection.

They all get extra time, so in exams they're all sat in the same room which is actually really helpful because it means they can give each other little thumbs up and smiles. (Yes my friends do this for me, it's very nice to know someone is checking up on you)

Thank you for reading!

Here is my other post about Charlie with ADHD if you haven't already seen it <3

Doctor : you have 1 minute and 47 seconds to spend your final breath

Me : okay

Me : *does literally anything*

My brain : you are-

*holds your face in my hands* you aren't inherently worthless or unlovable or horrible

ohmygod. why have i never seen this before 

Charlie: Todd isn’t answering his phone

Neil: I’ll call him

Charlie: knox and I have called six times each, what makes you thi-

Todd: hello?

the gender neutral urge to create something that will outlast you even after death even after your name is forgotten so that you’ll live on forever in the art you left behind and emotionally connect to people long after death

some very messy doodles from that old sad pretentious film about poetry or something

and my heart will not follow me into my grave it shall stay in her bed to keep her warm at night 

ive just come to the horrifying realisation that i do in fact want a friends to lovers romance where we hang out with our cool friend group all the time and one day accidentally kiss or hook up and then realise we’re in love and the reason this is a BIG problem is bc i have no friend group
