Oh, that is a kind of interesting idea, with Albus Potter.
Though at the same time I wonder - I think the wizarding world has more tolerance for various types of eccentricity. It might be that his condition really would be dwarfed by being Harry Potter's Son, though I suppose it wouldn't help.
'cause on the other hand we did see that among purebloods there's a lot less tolerance for mental issues, but they might not recognize Aspergers' as being an 'issue', and might view it as just eccentricity.

I think that another problem with these headcanons is that not only do they not do anything with the idea, they also let their ideas of how things should be affect how it's portrayed, rather than consider seriously how this issue would fit into canon realistically, and not just as wish fulfillment.

So many time I see very interesting headcanon but ends up becoming pure wish fulfillment and sometimes masturbation fodder. Everyone is queer, teenagers having sex everywhere... Like it's nice, it's your headcanon and your work, but why putting it in a specific setting and ignore it? Why not use it to explore canon? Seems like such a waste to me. I really would like to see a fic or just ideas really exploring minority issues in Hogwarts. Like what is their stance on mental illness and LGBT problems, how it ties to the wizarding world's view in general.

I've seen the Isbalan Elric brothers idea before and didn't think much of it but seeing you talk about it makes me really want fic. Unfortunately I can't write to save my life, and so far I don't see any more than just art :/

That's the thing though, isn't it? When you flesh out ideas you can show why they're interesting, but without putting in the details it's just a question of random pigmentation.

And yeah, too often people don't actually want to explore canon as what it is, but just as wish fulfillment. Which I can kind of get, but I'm personally not so interested in those stories.
