Me: is autistic and constantly stressed out trying to determine whether someone is being sarcastic or serious and it really pisses me off when they’re vague and cryptic
Also me: loves using sarcasm

autism culture is getting told you’re having a “teenage temper tantrum” when it’s really just a meltdown

Spencer Reid x semi verbal Autistic teen reader
Request from Ao3
Request: Could you also do a request of a semi verbal autistic/adhd teen with Spencer? They are smart and like talking to Spencer about their special interests? I don't mind how they are related, but it would be really nice.
Summary: The team arw on a case and Spencer needs to get some information from a teen but doesn't know how to start it so he starts talking to the teen about his special interests
Third person pov...
The team were currently out on a case it was a messy one, a family had been murdered both the parents and the younger siblings, the only person left was the eldest child, Y/N L/N.
When the police arrived after being called by the neighbours, they found the teen knelt next to the bodied of his family rocking back and forth in a trance, he was holding something in his hands which was a toy dinosaur covered in blodd, it was his younger brothers favourite toy and one of Y/Ns special interests.
Y/N is autistic and semi-verbal (Semi-Verbal is a term used to describe people who are between full-verbal and non-verbal  Semi verbal is still having some access to verbal speech but being restricted in some way.) So it was difficult for the officers to get him out of the house and to the police station.
Since they found him kneeling in the blood of his family Y/N hasn't spoken a word to anyone, the teen was currently sat in an empty office in the police station.
The teen was pacing around the room still holding onto the dinosaur, when the officers tried to take the Dinosaur off him as it was covered in his baby brothers blood the teen freaked out and had a meltdown so they didn't take it off him.
A couple of hours later the FBI arrived to profile the Unsub and to also see the witness, Hotch saw the teen body language, from the file he already knew the teen was autistic.
Based on those facts he picked the perfect person from his team to go and ask the teen some questions and that person was their own resident genius Spencer Reid.
Spencer eyed the teen with curiosity. He knew that getting the information he need was going to be a challenge and that he needed to think outside of the box.
As he watched the teen from outside the room, he noticed that he seemed to be fiddling with something in his hands and looked like he had an affinity for it.
Spencer took a breath and stepped through the door, he watches as thw teen stops his pacing but doesn't make an eye contact.
Spencer steps closer to the teen but not to close he knows how much he likes his personal space, the Dr then asks his question "Hey, what is that you're holding?"
The teen looked up at him for a moment, confusion evident on his face. He was semi-verbal, Spencer knew, and being Autistic made communication even more difficult.
Spencer felt for the boy, knowing how hard it must be for him to communicate. He decided to try a different tack, gesturing to the object the teen was holding and stating, "I'm interested in what you have there; can you tell me more about it?"
At this, a smile slowly spread across the boy's face and he eagerly started to talk about the dinosaur he was hanging on to.
He spoke quickly, but Spencer was able to piece together the story behind the toy dinosaur.
Not only did Spencer get the information he was looking for, but he also learned more about the teen's special interests.
He realized that having an understanding and compassionate ear could go a long way with someone who struggled with communication.
"He's my brother favourite dinosaur, Alfie always let me hold him knowing thay he comforts me" says the teen not realising how much he had spoken in such little time.
Spencer was nodding along with everything he was saying which gave the teen courage to keep talking. "Thank you for telling me about him" says Spencer.
"Actually I have another question, if you don't mind" Says Spencer, Y/N goes quiet and looks down at the dinosaur clutched in his hand, the teen nods his head ans Spencer takes that as a yes.
Spencer watches how the teens body language changes, he goes back to the quiet traumatised teen from before. "I was hoping you could tell me about the person who killed your family?" He asked knowing it was a delicate subject.
Y/N swallows and clutches the dinosaur tightly so tight he almost made himself bleed, the teen Continues to look at the dinosaur before speaking.
"It was supposed to be a calm night, mum and dad where late getting home, so I was babysitting Alfie. We were playing Dinosaurs in the living room, I was busy telling Alfie all about the Dinosaurs before someone knocks at the doors, we didn't answer because it wasny mum or dad" Says thr quiet teen a tremble in his voice.
The fidgets with the Dinosaur in his hands before continuing, Spencer wasn't planning to rush him into it. "Then it went quiet, we went back to playing and then the door was unlocked, mum and dad were home, I remember Alfie running out of the room to greet them, I stayed behind and waited"
Y/N paused to take a deep breath, the next part still scared him as he remembers everything that happened to his family. "Then I heard someone behind me, i thought it was Alfie but I was wrong, when I turned around it saw a intruder, it wasn't mum or dad, but a man he was tall and very angry, he grabbed me abs held a knife to my throat, I remember being dragged outside and into the kit hen were my family were."
Spencer watches as Y/N sniffs and whines his eyes quickly hands shaking. "He theb told them to do as he says or he would kill me, Alfie was scares he started crying, the man then took all of us to the living room, then he killed them all, not me I don't knke why he left me alive, I wish he didn't" Y/N finishes his story with a sob as he falls to the floor.
The teen the begins to rock back and forth trying desperately to comfort himself and stop crying but nothing worked. Spencer quietly slips out of the room and back to his team to tell them what he know about the Unsub.
Hours later the team successfully find the Unsub as he was targeting another family similar to the L/Ns, when they arrive back at the station Spencer is ambushed by Y/N hugging him.
The teen was crying as he thanked the Dr fir finding the perosn responsible for killing his family, Spencer hugged the young boy back just as tight.
Before the team left for Virginia Y/N surprised Spencer by giving him the dinosaur he was holding, when he was asked why he said "because you found the killer responsible, my brother is abke to be put to rest now he has been avenged" he said this made Spencer tear up he took the toy and kept it safe.
The end!
Hope you liked this oneshot, so sorry for the spelling and grammar mistakes as usual, also so sorry for not updating for a while.
Request are open!

I need some bitches with autism who’s grades are still in primary/elementary school levels to follow me. I cannot with the wannabe Sheldon coopers on this app going “What do you mean you’ve almost finished high school but have a grade two math ability 🥺 have you tried tutoring or asking to be put in special Ed?” What if I set you on fire Rebecca.
Personal tutoring won’t cure my ASD I’m sorry.

(Tw for implied ableism)
I want to talk about how I often feel minimized to just "the kid with the tablet", to just the disabled kid.
I post about being an AAC user a lot, because its important. Because there arent many of us openly talking about being nonspeaking online, so when people think of nonspeaking autistics, or of AAC users, they tend to think of children, because 99% of AAC users on the internet are toddlers filmed by their parents.
Nonspeaking children grow into nonspeaking teenagers, and nonspeaking teenagers grow into nonspeaking adults.
I feel like the mixture of AAC not being a very well known disability aid, and the fact that most AAC rep is of small children turns me into a bit of a spectacle; turns me into just "the kid with the tablet".
I am an autistic AAC user, and I'm also an artist, and a poet, and I am queer, and I love horror, and I love MCR, and I like doing my makeup, and I love body mods, and I have a leopard gecko, and my favorite theme park is six flags magic mountian, and I love fashion, and I paint my nails, and I am a person. I am a teenager. I am disabled, but I am still a teenager. I am not a child. I am a queer teenage boy, just as any other queer teenage boy is.
I know that society often has a hard time accepting people who are different, but that doesn't mean it's okay to minimize someone to just their disability or assistive device. We all have our own unique interests, styles, thoughts, challenges, and experiences that make us who we are.

i know my autism and adhd is "normal" and "nothing to be ashamed of" because theres literally nothing i can do about it but recently ive been feeling so ashamed of myself.
i get frustrated so easily with noise / talking and i have to quickly leave the room. it makes me wonder what people who dont know me think.
i cant focus on homework i never do it. ever. and you would expect me to get expelled but no they just give me a sympathetic look and a pat on the head like im a dog. why do i get Bs when i do NOTHING?.
and what about my hyper fixations? do people think its annoying when i wanna talk about the same episodes of a show that came out in 2016?.
do peoole wonder why i cant look them in the eye? or why im always on my phone?.
these are questions that are literally haunting me. i cant be stuck in this brain for the rest of my life. its torture.
im trying so hard to be normal but i think the stress is making it worse. i lock myself in my bathroom so i can jump up and down and talk to the mirror because thats how my embarrassing self stims
