#the ninja turtles are autistic

Anyway. This is neurodivergent parallel play. Yay!

Prop comedy

It's not a headcanon if it's the truth.

Pov: You're Leo 🫵

Waiting to see a story just about Mikeys manipulating their Leos with Puppy Dog Eyes and all of the brothers trying their hardest not to bend to their will.

The power they possess...

i don’t think sugar packets and glass animals are things these boys would canonically collect, i’m just projecting me and my friend’s weird collections onto them.

the dialogue is kinda wonky but i fear i’ll go mad if I stare at this comic for longer than i have already.

[arsoniiii]

Those nonverbal cues am I right? (100% based off a true story unfortunately)

Friendly reminder of the day:

You are ALLOWED to stim freely! 💜

I'm currently de-compressing after a mission in my lab, which means spinning in my chair, watching Jupiter Jim & listen to my favourite song on repeat.

Your needs are VALID.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

some leonardo sillies because he's the blorbo ever

[Image ID: Four digital sketches focusing on Leo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 cartoon. The line art is wobbly and imprecise, and only the masks and sword wrappings are colored.

1: Leo is facing the right with his head turned towards the camera. His mouth is open and his brows are furrowed, making him look flabbergasted and offended. There is a thought bubble beside him, reading "U did NOT just fucking say that." He has a bowl of rice and chopsticks in his hands.

2: Two more bust portraits of Leo in various degrees of distress. The first drawing is of him hunched over with his hands over his mouth, looking almost like he's going to be sick with worry. The second drawing shows him gasping in surprise, a little dramatically, with one hand raised to his face.

3: Divided into two sections. The first section is labelled "What it looks like he's doing:". It shows a few drawings of Leo practicing with his katanas and one drawing of him meditating. The second section is labelled "What he's actually doing:". It shows a few drawings of Leo happily playing with his katanas. One drawing has flowers and sparkles coming out of his head at he stares at them, with text beside him reading "haha yaaaay omg swords". Another drawing shows him reading The Art of War with the autism creature face. Another drawing shows him sitting cross-legged and holding up one sword, staring at it with a serious expression and saying, "What does it taste like..."

4: Labelled "Bonus". Leo is sitting and leaning forward to lick one of his katanas with a determined expression. He has a speech bubble saying "...". The next drawing shows him in the same position, but he's sat back a little with a blank expression. There is a large thought bubble next to him with two sequential drawings inside. The first drawing shows him and Don as turtle tots. Don is scrounging around on the floor with a hand to his mouth. Leo looks on, asking "Hey Donny what are you eating". The second drawing is a close up of Don, who stares back at Leo with a wide-eyed, brain-empty expression. He has a speech bubble simply saying "penny". From off screen, Leo replies, "Cool can I have some". End ID.]

My Discord friends about 2003 and Mikey being ADHD Poster Child.

-

Leo: Watch this. When's Klunk's birthday?

Mikey: GASP. Klunk was born September 19th at 9:01 AM, I know this because of his STAR SIGN.

Leo: Cool. What'd we eat for breakfast?

Mikey: lmao we ate?

"And I appreciate Leo because he actually tries really hard to cater to Mikey's ADHD. He may not realize it, but Leo was awesome for making training sessions to stimulate his baby brother."

clocking Donnie as one of those little kids who look vaguely concerned by everything. like he could be doing the most chill activity ever but he still looks kinda worried

TW: depictions of autistic burnout

burnout sucks balls

currently Going Through It™ and i started thinking about how burnout could affect donnie. personally, the tiniest thing going wrong feels so much worse than it actually is. knowing he struggles with equating his self worth to his tech i can see this being a source of frustration for him during these periods.

p.s. please ignore the updated outfit + old lab combo, i was being silly :P

take care of yourself guys
