Because

[(Anonymous)]

Most writers paste traits onto a character and don't utilize what they've shown.

I can get behind, for example, an autistic 12th Doctor headcanon because he shows onscreen evidence of sensory issues (his reaction to some touch) behaviors that look suspiciously like stimming (watch his hands, he does things with them), we've seen him blunder socially (Kill the Moon, missing why Clara was so cross, is just one example), he had a moment that looks like a genuine autistic meltdown (Pounding the TARDIS console near the end of Death in Heaven).

Now seeing someone say Captain Kirk is autistic and describing him walking around with stim behaviors or other "quirks" where no evidence of those things are seen onscreen will make me sideeye an autistic headcanon real fast.

Btw I am autistic myself and it's a lot more than being socially awkward and nerdy. It's called a disorder because it interferes with daily life some of the time. People more severely effected deal with more interference and have to use more intense behaviors to stay comfortable.

A fanfic author I like does an awesome portrayal of more severe autism through their Groot fanfics. (Yes, they are autistic themselves.) I feel like I learned something by reading her stuff instead of feeling like I'm getting preached at and I like that.

The author is very anti Autism Speaks but I'm okay with that because I am too.

shit, I am trying to be more gender neutral

I used pronouns out of habit. I can't recall if the author is a her or a they. Apologies in advance if I misgendered.

OP here

I agree completely. The guy the headcanon was based on has like zero traits of autism, so that came out of nowhere.

I'm happy I only stim when excited or very happy.

But on the subject of disability headcanon, why do they make the disability the only thing about them? Their personalities get eaten.

Sorry if I'm unclear, I've got dysgraphia.
