It's amazing that Marcy is possibly the first canon autistic cartoon character to be diagnosed by 3 well trained professionals from the real world.

Autistic Spencer Reid

Happy Autism Acceptance Month, everyone! By request, my wonderful friends and I have taken on the daunting task of documenting the reasons why Spencer Reid is considered Autistic. Big thank you to you @spencer-reids-adventures and @foxy-eva specifically for their help. We hope everyone enjoys! This is not an exhaustive list.

Stimming/Self-Stimulatory behavior, including rocking/spinning in his chair, twiddling with his fingers, gripping sheets, bouncing his legs, biting his lip/tongue, rubbing his eyes, spinning pens, pacing (e.g., S6E12 "Corazon")

Averse to touch, dislikes hugs (S7E13 "Snake Eyes" & S11E11 "Entropy")

Explains multiple attempts at masking, including "being more conversational," (S2E19 "Ashes and Dust"), scripting conversation (S15E4 "Saturdays"), saying what people want to hear (S6E20 "Hanley Waters")

Verbosity - Difficulty recognizing when he's talking too much/speaking at inappropriate times (e.g., S1E16 "The Tribe" & S10E16 "Lockdown")

Began studying behavioral science to understand behavior that made him frustrated/confused (S11E22 "The Storm")

Averse to hosting/hanging out in his space; didn't invite his friends to his apartment for over 15 years (S15E9 "Face Off")

The only team member capable of proficient communication with other Autistic people (S6E16 "Coda" & S11E22 "The Storm")

He is referred to as Autistic by multiple characters, including a literal profiler, and does not deny or question it (S1E5 "Broken Mirror" & S8E3 "Through the Looking Glass")

Lack of social awareness, such as focusing on a convention while at a workplace shooter crime scene (S7E3 "Dorado Falls")

Various special interests, like Doctor Who (S6E16 "Coda" & S7E23 "Hit")

Literal thinking, such as focusing on scientific accuracy of a star-based fable (S5E13 "Risky Business")

Difficulty recognizing common phrases, such as the "sitting in a tree" song (S3E14 "Damaged") or jokes (S7E9 "Self-Fulfilling Prophecy" & S1E8 "Natural Born Killer")

Makes inappropriate references, such as to Derek's playboy behavior (S1E18 "Somebody's Watching") and Rossi's age (S7E13 "Snake Eyes")

Coordination/Spatial deficits (S1E17 "A Real Rain" & S8E6 "The Apprenticeship")

Hyperfocuses on a task to the point he doesn't notice his surroundings (S5E20 "A Thousand Words")

Unusual/hyper-specific pedantic language (S3E6 "Remembrance of Things Past")

Resistance to change, manifested as a luddite dislike of technology (S6E7 "Middle Man" & S8E4 "God Complex") and struggling with Gideon's death (S10E14 "Hero Worship")

He receives (apparent disability) accommodations to be in the field (S6E10 "What Happens At Home...")

Introverted, difficulty sharing emotions, even with his closest friends (S10E13 "Nelson's Sparrow")

Heavily bullied as a child (S3E16 "Elephant's Memory")

Difficulty making friends (S2E1 "The Fisher King Part 2")

Trouble with eye contact, which persists throughout the series

His mother is schizophrenic, which has a strong genetic link to Autism

Dislikes small talk (S8E3 “Through the Looking Glass”)

Enjoys memorizing lists (S7E11, “True Genius”)

Savant skills - eidetic memory and hyperlexia

Matthew Gray Gubler has also explained that, regardless of the canonical confirmation, he views and portrayed Spencer Reid as Autistic. Specifically, he stated:

"He's an eccentric genius, with hints of schizophrenia and minor autism, Asperger's syndrome. Reid is 24, 25 years old with three Ph.D.'s and one can't usually achieve that without some form of autism." (Note: Asperger's is an outdated term with Nazi origins, which is now referred to as a part of "Autism Spectrum Disorder" by most countries)

DISCLAIMER: I am Autistic, as diagnosed when I was a toddler. These thoughts are my own and shared for fun. If you disagree, please make your own post about it rather than posting them here. This was a labor of love for fans like me and those who love Autistic people and the characters like us. Thank you for respecting and understanding my boundaries!

(why is he fat - because)

#autistic headcanon #autism headcanon #pls give me a little validation and hugs #i have all of this #accept from steps reading #which i had in childhood #well and i slept in bed for one day #not 3 #but yeah #non verbal is something new #not very cool to be in that mod #but surprisingly charging #i suppose i should accept that i am autistic now i guess #but no thoughts i need to sleep it's night here #i want to tag the game and character so hard but i am sure i will get some hate for making him fat

That's right kids! Always be true to yourself - unless your true self is considered a "disorder."

[Image description: A 4 panel cartoon by Autball.

1: A happy flappy character (orange to red gradient) with the words “Just Be You" arcing above them, on a faded red background with a dark red frame.

2: Many child-sized figures, of various rainbow colors, sitting on bleachers. A blue adult figure stands in front of them saying, “Remember kids: Just be YOU. You are all wonderfully unique, and your true friends will accept you for who you are.”

3: The same adult figure stands in front of a different section of the bleachers with eight neurodivergent children of various colors sitting together. One has an AAC device, another is in a wheelchair. The adult points to them and says, “…except for you guys. We’re actually gonna need you to NOT be yourselves as much as possible if you wanna be accepted."

4: Close up of blue adult figure who says, “Don’t worry. We have lots of ways to help you with that!” He holds up a list that reads: Intervention Plan; ABA; PBS; Social Skills Group; Whole Body Listening: Clip Charts: Points Systems; Behavior Goals.]

reid being treated like the baby of the bau in season 1 is so funny to me, he’s supposed to be the smartest mfer there but they act like he can’t even figure out how to “think outside the box”

#could turn this into an autism thing #because all autistic coded characters are treated like this #the only one i accept is him struggling to shoot a gun #but even then #mfer did a headshot by the end of the episode #idk man #i got complaints #but i also find it so fuckin funny #man can read a book and recite it within the hour #but can’t win a game of chess against gideon? #get him a chess book #criminal minds #spencer reid #jason gideon #criminal minds s1 #autism #autistic

Happy autism acceptance month! One of my favorite autistic characters is Neddy Bubblegum from Adventure Time! He is Princess Bubblegum’s twin brother. He is a really good goopy guy and I wish we could have seen more of him in the series!

Sorry it's another angry Monster High post lol, but some of y'all insulting the new voices for some of G3's characters really need to reevaluate yourselves. 💀

Those are literally real people's voices and not just for the VA's. It doesn't matter if you like G1's voices more, you don't need to be rude about the new ones??

#ive seen ppl complain about Twyla's voice being “babyish” when thats literally the VA's voice #and someone said it was “stereotyping autism”??? THE VA IS AUTISTIC LIKE WHY SHOULD WE ALL SOUND “NORMAL” TO BE ACCEPTABLE??? #also seeing ppl criticize Skelita's voice because its deep and raspy like girls cant have that voice?? #or it makes them “less feminine” when its literally they're natural voice that shouldnt dictate anything #also ppl will always makea point about accent changes for these characters as if G1's was honestly any good (it wasnt tbh) #any voice that isn't conventionally “nice” or reflects G1 just gets shit on i guess #monster high #monster high g3
