yuri and yaoi are some of the best, most sacred things in the entire world

Things that make me (autistic and goth) a vampire:

Sun? No, thank you. Instant kill.

Counting everything. Please don't throw rice at me.

Invite me directly. "You're always invited". No, I have to stand at your door and you have to say "Come in", else I can't physically enter.

Did someone eat garlic like 5 days ago? I can tell.

You don't want to be informed for three hours about the different sounds bats make?

Black cloths. Everything else is too overstimulating.

Very formal and rigid way of speaking and behaving, almost like a dark lord in 1894.

"I've recently started this hobby... wait, this was a decade ago?"

what you need to understand is that textile work is basically the closest i have seen to Real Magic and the reason old ladies in quilting spaces are either the grumpiest or the most whacky cheerful people you'll ever meet is because they're basically wizards who have studied the ancient crafts too long

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") :

if you’re an ADHD person reading one of my #actuallyautistic posts and wondering ‘do my experiences count for this’ the answer is basically always: ‘if you think they do, then absolutely!’

there is a huge overlap between ADHD and autistic experiences (I’m diagnosed with both). please feel free to relate however you want and add whatever tags feel relevant to you.

(also, you don’t need to have autism or ADHD to relate to my posts on those topics. my whole goal is to educate people by describing my experiences & symptoms in a relatable way. relating to autistic and adhd people is good! it is so much better than the opposite.)
