i learned about Marion Stokes, a Philadelphia woman who began taping whatever was on television in 1979 and didn’t stop until her death in 2012.. The 71,000 VHS and Betamax tapes she made are the most complete collection preserving this era of TV. They are being digitized by the Internet Archive. (x)

I need people to understand that sometimes autism is just this
Why Bruce Wayne Is Autistic
i am 100% convinced this man is autistic. fight me. this post is specifically about battinson, but the other versions of batman also seem autistic to me (i am autistic myself so i should know). btw this is just my interpretation of what we saw of him in the movie, so sorry if any of this is wrong maybe i am just bad at analyzing stuff-
disclaimer: ignorant and ableist comments will be deleted
warnings : none
he is very soft spoken
monotone voice
eye contact seems difficult for him (either very intense or not at all)
"inappropriate" staring
his face doesn't show much emotion (but his eyes are so expressive)
seems socially awkward (same tbh lmao)
doesn't laugh at jokes (or doesn't understand them?)
doesn't reply to others sometimes (it could be that he's nonverbal occasionally or just needs more time to think of an answer)
needs to be reminded to take a shower or eat
sensitive to light (wears sunglasses indoors)
high pain tolerance
strong sense of justice
black and white thinking (thinking his dad was either a bad OR good person, viewing gordon as a good cop)
notices small details/patterns that others don't
special interest could be being batman and protecting gotham or building tools/upgrading the batmobile
hyper-empathy but can't really express it (example: for the mayor's son or selina)
prefers working alone
rejects social norms (doesn't really try to sound polite, immediately starts speaking to alfred when he woke up)
other people treat him like he's some fragile being or a child (many autistic people get treated like that, sadly). alfred did this but i know he only meant well (which makes sense since he practically raised him). falcone did it too but in a condescending way
also this doesn't have to do anything with battinson but look at this comic panel (from "batman the imposter") :
