autistic little phantom who needs a lot of support with it. needs help getting sensory needs met (usually in the form of sound blocking headphones and nonoverwhelming clothing) and also a lot of help with communicating. reaaaalllllllyyyy struggles to speak and will use an app of his phone to communicate as well as some choice asl signs (probably the same signs that babies are taught)

oh, i love this so much, anon !!! :D

he definitely has quite a few types of noise cancelling headphones and earbuds to use both when he’s regressed as well as when he isn’t (i like to think that the sensation of over-ear headphones can be too much for them sometimes so they have proper earplugs that block out noise as well if it’s an especially bad day for sensory stimuli

his packmates serve his food on separator plates so that all his food stays separated and none of it is touching parts it shouldn’t be. usually it doesn’t bother them, but when they’re little they feel so much more out of control than usual, so they need to be able to control certain smaller aspects (like different foods touching) even if they’re not actually aware of the reason behind it

the communicating thing, yesssssss !!! i don’t know much about communication apps/devices unfortunately but i think they would absolutely use those to help them talk and express their needs to their pack :D i do know a little bit more about sign language though and i think that all the ghouls know a bit of basic sign language, but rain, mountain and phantom are the biggest users of it. phantom’s still learning proper sign language, so in the meantime, he’s being taught makaton/key word sign so he can express his basic needs/thoughts (food, water, sleep, please, thank you, etc) even when he struggles with talking and doesn’t know proper sign language

#i think makaton might just be called key word sign now but i’m not entirely sure sorry :0 #it was makaton when i learnt it as a baby so that’s what i know it as #also i’m headcanon ing that he knows a few songs in makaton because i enjoy projecting ksjdhfjdkx #ask box #ghostie headcanons #phantom ghoul #regressed ghouls #regressed ghoul headcanons
