love the batman ships where, batman autistic ass always never notices the other liking him one way or another like (like the other flirting with him, etc) . it just flys over his head i think we should do it more perchance.

A really cool legacy moment from JLA: A World Without Grown-ups #2 (1998)

by Todd Dezago, Mike McKone & Humberto Ramos

what does it say about me that i watched bro put some sorta curse on an entire family, eat spaghetti like a rabid dog, and take a bite out of his own arm, and my brain went 'oh the poor thing, i can fix him :('

[gothic-clownz]

sorry I'm just imagining fuches as an autism mom posting pictures of barry covered in blood or something on the dark web with captions like "unfortunately, autism won today. 😔 handling barry has been the greatest challenge of my life, but it's been SO worth it. it's days like this that I hope the world can someday see what's so special about my boy. 🙏 underneath it all, he's the greatest assassin I've ever known. ❤️"

Tried to draw the boys from the Dwarf but honestly I kinda gave up :"3

I hope the next time I draw them they'll look a bit better hehe :D

was rewatching the pilot again yesterday for fic reasons and thinking again about the sherlock-style screen annotations they had when barry was doing CSI work that they literally only did in the first ep and then never revisited again, presumably because they realized it'd be far too much effort to work out the details on such a precise level

and thinking about like. that barry allen with the hyper-precise exact measurements that he did by eye (with joe shaking his head in awe so you know that he's a CSI supergenius) vs. the leonard snart who timed his heists to the exact nanosecond (which again, presuming they ditched because it's a logistical nightmare to write dialogue that nitpicky and obsessive, and would be such a fucking pain to do on a week-to-week basis). like. yet another reason they are soulmates tbh. is audhd4autistic a thing the same way t4t is a thing? if it isn't then i'm making it a thing

I also love that you have the headcanon that Barry is autistic, I'm not autistic myself but I do really love the hc ♡

I need more headcanons about Barry especially about his autism ✨

Thank you for the ask! I, and most of my friends, are autistic so I use our experiences as a base point for most of my headcanons. I hope you enjoy! - <3 Gooseless

Autistic Barry Headcanons

Goes non-verbal fairly frequently (uses texting or ASL to communicate at those times).

Struggles with sensory overload a lot, especially when around a lot of people, so being in jail was really rough for him.

Doesn't really understand figures of speech and interprets things literally.

Social cues are hard for him and he typically has Stan tell him what's going on if he feels like he's missing something.

His special interests are in coding and technology.

Was the first one to figure out Johnny was autistic as well and helped him with coping skills when he was young.

Is very iffy with touch. The only people allowed to touch him without asking are Stan, Marcus, and Johnny.

Has trouble explaining his relationships with other people and views everyone close to him as family.

Stan helped him a lot with the social aspect of school growing up.

He had to spend a few days alone after they got out of jail to completely calm down sensory wise. Stan slept on Marcus and Johnny's couch so he could have his space.

When watching TV, sometimes he and Johnny will not understand the social cues of the actors and will call Marcus and Stan to translate.

Growing up Barry didn't really get any support that he needed or help with coping mechanisms so he had to teach himself when he got older.

He had a hyperfixation on computers as a kid.

Has several stims including picking at his hands, tapping his fingers together, and messing with the straps of things.

adhd/autism solidarity continues to reigns supreme

[nonbinary-sticks-the-badger]

barry and tails talking about how they bring their own food with them everywhere just in case they dont like whats on offer feels like such a sort of 'same hat!' moment where the hat is autism

[do-u-know-this-autisticcharacter]

Do You Know This (Non-canon) Autistic Character?

Evidence below the cut!

Introverted and socially inept

Had such a strong love for Jay Garrick's Flash comics he named his hero alter ego after it. Peak hyperfocus/special interest behaviour

Not really an evidence but very infantilized by the fandom

[manofsomething]

THE kiff headcanon to me, been running with it for months lolll
