CHARACTERS PICTURED IN BACKGROUND: Soundwave and Optimus Prime (Transformers: Prime); Groot and Drax (Guardians of the Galaxy movie); the Twelfth Doctor (Doctor Who)

SECRET'S TEXT: I'm autistic and I have autistic headcanons for certain characters in certain fandoms. I wrote fanfics for 1 of them. I don't pull my headcanons out of nowhere, I base them off onscreen observation and mentally fill in their specific sensory issues, how much help they may need with everyday stuff, how they stim and what their meltdowns or shutdowns are like. 2 of my headcanons are nonverbal* and need help with daily living skills, but they are completely competent and able to defend themselves in fights. The rest are verbal and self-sufficient.

I don't force my autistic headcanons on anybody else and demand they see the characters that way, I just write or talk about them. I understand that people are going to disagree, but I never expected to see the disagreement come in the form of anon hate on Tumblr. (It doesn't bother me; I delete it and roll my eyes.)

Maybe the issue is I can't view it from a neurotypical or allistic POV, but I seriously don't get it. Mental illnesses and physical disabilities seem to be okay headcanons to have, but autism isn't?

Why?

*Nonverbal = Someone who can't communicate effectively with their voice. Both headcanons are able to say one phrase on their own. One is only considered nonverbal to aliens and not his own species.
