#and shou is like ''dude have you ever talked to anyone about your sensory issues?'' ''my what?'' ''oh my god.''

ritsu has the flavor of nd where he went undiagnosed for years bc his sibling's autism was much more obvious to people so he slipped through the cracks

#source: me #my sibling's sensory issues were much more obvious than any of my stuff #so she got diagnosed with sensory processing disorder #but bc I wasn't as obvious with my symptoms I never got diagnosed with anything #and didn't realize I might have something going on until high school lol #and I think the same goes for ritsu #bc mob's autism is much more visible #and ritsu's like ''well I don't have the same things going on as my brother so I guess I must be neurotypical'' #<- clueless. dumbass doesn't realize autism is a spectrum #it doesn't even occur to him that he might be nd until he's dealing with a sensory overload #and shou is like ''dude have you ever talked to anyone about your sensory issues?'' ''my what?'' ''oh my god.'' #personally i think ritsu is in the weird gray zone between autism and ocd #I'm totally not projecting at all haha what are you talking about <3 #also I think him masking a lot fits into the theme with him having to fit into roles other people assigned to him and hiding his true self #part of him learning to be more honest about himself involves him not masking as much. peace and love #anyway welcome to sol's Ritsu Thoughts Hour #time to go back to getting ready to post a fic where I put him through hell👍
