#cas is the autism to deans adhd

[cas-coding]

cas: dean, i need to warn you, i ran out of my meds yesterday so i may be a little… eccentric.

dean: oh i’m sure you’re over exaggerating! it’ll be fine, sweetheart.

[several hours later]

cas: and i just don’t understand why the jedi don’t allow them to fall in love? it’s not a systemic problem, anakin was just taken into the program too late. obi-wan could totally have a wife - or a husband, that would be so cool, but the movies are not from a great time frame for representation - wait, isn’t obi-wan canonically bisexual or did i stumble upon fake news again?

dean, absolutely enthralled: i’m going to be so honest, i don’t know, but let’s say i commit enough credit card fraud for us to afford to film prequels. will you be the time-period inaccurate husband to my obi-wan?

sam, not amused: cas, when your meds are back in stock, can you grab some for dean too?

[chronic-lee-lizard]

Castiel is me I love him I love him I love his misunderstanding of social cues I love his autistic traits I feel seen

(I want to change my name to Castiel because his name is so cool)

[passiveagressivepoet]

cas and dean would share the same vocal stims

[habrabbit]

[suncaptor]

literally every main character has autistic traits and ptsd let's be real.

[anadrenalineslut]

people getting mad headcanons to me is like getting mad at someone for playing pretend incorrectly like what do you mean i'm pretending this character is autistic incorrectly?

[found--family]

when people say they're either a casgirl or a deangirl and i'm like but i can't choose bc i relate to cas' autism and i relate to dean's adhd i am an AuDHD girlie so i am a bothgirl

[koba-baboba]

do you have any hc’s that are lgbtq+ or Neurodivergent for supernatural?

Oh absolutely bestie (I’m so sorry I didn’t answer this sooner😭)

Human!Cas is definitely autistic. Even after he learns how to be human he still stumbles through it just like I do. I feel like he makes too much eye contact to compensate for his awkwardness yk?

Sam is pan. I feel like he just wants someone who would love him and take care of him. Gender and sex don’t matter, he just wants to feel accepted

Dean has ADHD. Need I explain more?

Rowena gives me bi vibes with a preference for women

Lucifer while I love him is our honorary straight

Destiel is the ultimate ADHD autism couple. Dean gets loud when he’s overstimulated but cas gets overstimulated from loud noises. They eat on the opposite side of the room so they don’t have to hear each other chew. They share a hyper fixation on horror movies. Dean daydreams a lot and cas just likes to watch him stare into space. They share a weighted blanket. Cas loves pillows and dean only uses one so every night they have to trade around pillows to get comfy. They keep their room dim because they hate how bright the bunker lights are. Cas obsessed over Stardew valley I just know it and dean teased him to no end about it

Gabriel is gay 👍

Charlie gives me sapphic ace vibes (totally not projection)

[permanately-confuzzled]

Okay so. This gonna be long. But dean headcanon.

This is a bit of a stretch and not one that I think a lot of people lean towards (either that or I'm just not in a circle that talks about it) but. Dean has autism? Maybe not super obvious signs, and I'm much more familiar with the signs in afab than amab, but it feels REALLY similar to myself.

I realize that cptsd has really similar symptoms as low-support-needs (high functioning??? Someone please tell me what term to use I cant figure out if it's problematic or not) late diagnosed autism, as well as several other neurotypes. But a lot of it feels really familiar, and in some of the distinguishments between cptsd and autism, dean leans toward the autism side.

Anyway, a list in no particular order:

Knows a lot about random topics -- that one case where he knew the guy used the wrong country for a proverb to come from, mentioning vonnegut, possible hyperfocus on weapons and fighting

Seems to have a fairly good musical understanding despite having little to no experience -- you're telling me John taught him how to sing? And he picked up on guitar as quickly as was implied? I think the fuck not

Hyperfocus on a TV show/genre -- Scooby-Doo, dr. Sexy, westerns

Perfectly happy driving for hours on end listening to the same tracks on repeat -- apparently this isn't normal???

Seems to dissociate really easy -- he could be desensitized to violence, and probably is at least a little. But when he's already emotional, or caught by surprise, he's immediately horrified, almost like he's not as careless towards it as normal.

Described as having too many emotions. Very much cannot communicate them. Seems overwhelmed.

Very much likes blankets, hot showers, massage bed -- sensory issues. Also, that could be why he wears flannel and jeans all the time. Yeah, it's practical, but the clothes don't bother his sensory issues.

Also, sensory stuff could be why he's constantly chasing sex. If your constantly feeling everything, why not make the everything be mostly good? People with asd also typically are either on the grey scale of sexuality or hypersexual.

He clearly understands communication, but masking. Also, he's fairly social. The puzzle of human communication may be a hyperfixation of his. Not to mention that a few of the times people say things he isn't expecting he gets flustered and confused.

He seems to see grey points in a very black and white way, and black and white as grey. I don't know how else to describe that.

The thing with asd people typically struggling more than nts to understand things like capitalism bc why WOULDNT you give up some fancies if other people can eat enough -- that's literally why he can't get himself to leave hunting.

Not willing to change the impala or his music.

Had the whole dean cave put together without Sam knowing (I think? Correct me if I imagined this)

Routine. He's impulsive when it's his decision, but if someone else decides, he wants nothing to do with it -- getting up in the morning, I swear there's more but my brain is getting tired

Struggles to make close connections. Very few actual friends (especially compared to sam) and very few actual relationships.

The close friends he has are not nt. Charlie most likely has adhd or asd, cas acts very similar to someone with asd, Sam's at least really traumatized. This is common with nds.

He has different personalities depending on who he's with (masking) -- cas vs Charlie vs Sam vs Donna vs Claire vs Benny... etc

Prone to addiction -- the need for routine and chronic stress from masking makes this true for asd people as well.

I think it was called existential suicidal ideation or something like that? Doesn't want to die necessarily, but doesn't really want to be around but does, but doesn't really care. It doesn't seem like a big deal so he's sorta apathetic to it.

I think there was more, but I cant remember right now. Am I crazy???

Sorry is asd autocorected to sad. And yes I did hyperfocus on this for a week and a half.

[t4tstarvingdog]

I wanna hear about your writing pls tell me

(o>O) <- adhd stare

choosing to tell you about. uhm. specifically my autism cas haircut starvingdog fic that i started yesterday <3

so i wrote a oneshot from dean's pov where he gives cas a haircut, because it's been growing longer and cas is clearly irritated by it, and i sprinkled in a little bit of autism cas having sensory issues. and then i was like huh.... what if i wrote a cas pov to it?

so now i'm working on it, and i'm having a lot of fun tying in the sensory issues to being a sort of. processing issue ? due to him having been an angel and not really being able to process via human sensory input. also the main point of starvingdognatural is desire and learning to let yourself want things, so i'm excited to explore that through cas for once! <3

Isn’t it funny and quirky how Jack, Dean, and Cas are all autistic and Sam and Dean both have ADHD? Wow, diversity win.
