This still blows my mind

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") :

TOO AUTISTIC FOR RETAIL TOO ADHD FOR DESK WORK

$18.97 USD // $24.36 CAD (insp.) [comes in buttons, stickers, etc. too]

just gonna say it: i despise spongebob & patrick. the only character i have any sympathy for is squidward. at least plankton has some passion for his work, mr krabs is a dirty capitalist exploiter. 

One of the best explanations I’ve been able to come up with for why autism messes with your sleep schedule is that your brain prefers you to be awake when it is darker and more quieter out. A more nocturnal schedule has a lot of sensory benefits for autistic people:

Fewer people around, less noise

Less bright/glaring light

Generally a calmer environment

Which would work fine if we were living in a world where capitalism hadn’t made alternate sleep schedules so untenable because of “profit.” In a different society this sort of quality could be valued (“no I don’t mind tending the herd at night, you find it hard to stay awake but I find it peaceful,” and so on). But not in this one. And that’s not a failing of biology, or neurology. That’s a failure of society. The fact that so many neurodivergent people struggle with keeping an 8 to 5 schedule is another symptom of intrusive capitalism microcontrolling our lives, not a personal “weakness” or shortcoming.

Give people more control over their lives and schedules.

I’ve noticed some common misassumptions about autistic people and verbality, so I thought I’d share some of my experiences!

If you meet me at a social occasion, I will be talkative and you will probably be surprised to know that some days I struggle with being verbal. Here’s what I might look like on a nonverbal/less verbal day

I can force myself to talk to people, but it will be draining. It may drain my energy, heighten my sensory issues, raise my stress levels, and in general lessen my wellbeing.

After a long conversation, I might need to rest/lie down.

I think of my nonverbal days as a battery recharging itself. You can still use the device, but that will just make it drain more quickly.

Not all conversations are created equal!!!!

given that Autistic & ADHD folks have always existed….like the names we use are modern, meaning that most autistic/adhd people went undiagnosed their whole lives, but they still existed and interacted with people……..

my point is autistic/adhd traits have always existed under other names & therefore autistic/adhd characters have always existed whether their creators knew it or now

(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.)

as an autistic person, can i just say that Charles Babbage aka “father of the computer” was totally one of us and also his vendetta against street music & organ grinders was VALID
