#autistic alec lightwood

[alexanderlightweight]

Hey! could you do something with autistic alec? cus i saw one of your fics with that tag and i love autistic Alec :) cus i feel seen and it makes me really happy ❤️❤️

so first things first anon, i have wonderful news! all of my alec's are autistic because i headcanon him as autistic and thats the only way i write him really <3

i'm autistic and thats just how I ended up writing him and i have for years, but i stopped tagging it because i got tired of dealing with people (this is not directed at you btw, i was so excited to see this prompt and that you liked them and felt seen by it!!! because thats what i originally wanted) who didn't feel i made alec 'autistic enough' which just annoyed and triggered me so i stopped tagging it. also some gross stereotypes and at one point someone told me to 'prove i was autistic'... but that was several years ago.

now i live with my bf who is more than happy to deal with ignorant people for me, so i'm happy to start tagging it again if it makes people feel seen? since that's the most important part. so this is autistic alec but it's more domestic than focusing on autistic? since like i mentioned, all my alecs are?

so i hope you enjoy that knowledge and this fic.

also, in pretty much all of my fics Magnus is Alec's main Special Interest. it's why he kind of just is happy doing things Magnus likes, because that's who he likes enjoying himself and that makes his day. Especially when he contributes to it in some way or just gets to bask in it.

Alec stares at the group of ichor-dripping shadowhunters in front of him and looks blankly at the sheepish faces of his hunters and the unrepentant, mulish expressions of Jace and Clary.

Already he knows exactly how this is about to go and he wants no part of it. In fact, he is activating his newest protocol.

“Mirai!” He yells out and in a flash of runic speed, his second is there and staring at the group with her own scowl. “These two teams seem to think that whatever mess they got into, that it required the Head of the Institute, do you agree?”

Mirai scoffs and gives the group a dark look, “Commander, the only thing they need is to be tossed into decontamination and put on ichor duty for a few shifts. Especially since one of them left a body shaped dent in an alley wall and mundane chatter picked it up.”

Jace winces suspiciously and Alec sends him a scolding look, because he really should know better.

“You didn’t punch the wall or something after? Make it less suspicious?” Alec asks, because they have protocols, and nothing tonight should have required such sloppy work.

“Clary saw something and—” Jace trails off and shrugs, as if realizing he’s only about to get himself and his little menace in more trouble.

“I’m leaving.” Alec finally says and he turns, walking out of the Institute itself instead of just going to his office.

—

“What’s wrong?” Magnus asks and Alexander melts into him, ignoring Magnus’ book and his cup and his greedy boy practically shoves them out of the way so he can collapse onto Magnus’ lap.

“People are wrong.” Alexander tells him and he makes a grumble against Magnus’ belly, “no more talking now.” Alexander tells him, which means that his boy is very close to overstimulation or is already there.

“Alright darling, I have you.” Magnus promises and the lights dim, and he hesitates before he touches Alexander, relieved when Alexander nuzzles into the touch.

Alexander mumbles an agreement but doesn’t say anything else and Magnus lets time pass as he gently plays with Alexander’s hair until his boy finally, slowly takes a deep breath and sits up. He’s avoiding Magnus’ gaze but in a relaxed way, so Magnus waits patiently. There are lips pressed to his cheek and Alexander leans against him, snuggling into his side and claiming Magnus’ hand to wrap around himself so he can kiss the knuckles.

“Shall I portal us away?” Magnus offers, because sometimes the rare occasion of being taken somewhere safe and protected by Magnus’ magic is appealing. Other times, like now, Alexander just shakes his head with a sigh and leans more firmly into him.

“No, I need to stay here and be on standby. Mirai is going to cover for me while I take a break though. It wouldn’t have been such a big deal, if they hadn’t brought in enough ichor to give every shadowhunter a headache. Sensory overload when I wasn’t expecting it and I was already pretty raw from my meeting with the clave.”

“You can relax here.” Magnus promises him, reminding Alexander that the loft is safe and will always be safe for him.

Anywhere Magnus is will always be a space that is safe for his boy.

[stealingfromwoolworths]

Along with my prayers for health, love and prosperity I pray that someone will write a autistic!alec fic that doesn’t re-make his whole personality and turn him into a child

#actually autistic #Autistic alec lightwood #Shadowhunters #shadowhunter chronicles #ableism #yeah I’m calling it ableism cause sometimes it’s just someone not knowing how to write an autistic character #sometimes it’s ableism and sometimes it’s straight up fetishisation 💀 #ableism in fandom

[dayque]

Alec: I still can't believe I'm autistic.

Jace: The repetitive routines, your lack of ability to start new conversations, and the fact that you know by heart all the demonology books in the library don't seem like enough signs to me either...

Magnus: Don't forget his extensive and horrible collection of lance weapons..

Alec: Are you guys bean sarcastic?

trying to find my own damn post about alec being autistic. i added to it during my reread with quotes or scenes that made me think he was autistic. WHERE IS IT

#he is just like me fr #autistic #alec lightwood #its driving me crazy WHERE IS IT #i cant rb it if i cant FIND IT #tsc

[buffyspeak]

alec is so autistic sjjshshshsh literally when he shows up at magnus’ in 2.08 it’s so clear he has planned out the whole conversation. he is like “FIRST i will make him aware of the situation, which is that my mother 👩🏻 is back in town. THEN i will oh so casually ask if he would like to throw a party 🎉 🥳🎊(something he loves to do!!!) 🤪 AFTER THAT he will likely have some reservations and who could blame him!! but not to worry because FINALLY i will explain that i would like to use the party as an opportunity to say screw you he’s my boyfriend and that’s not changing to her. flawless plan, nothing could go wrong”

and it works ❤️

[mirrorofliterature]

for me, the issue with most autism representation applied posthumously by fans is that it is fundamentally 'this character but autistic' instead of 'this character is autistic'. this stems from the fact that many people have a very flawed understanding of what autism is, perpetuated by poor mainstream representation: that autism is something that can be cleaved from a person, instead of a neurodevelopmental disorder which presents with great diversity in a wide range of people their whole lives.

my issue is that people treat autism as if it is a layer that can be tacked on and just as easily tacked off. writing good autistic representation is not easy - like it is for virtually any marginalised group. but ppl need to remember: an autistic person is always autistic. there is no off switch. their brains are wired fundamentally differently from neurotypical people and it may appear different in different situations, but it never goes away.

often when people headcanon a character as autistic, they woobify the character and strip them of their defining characteristics. this is insulting and denies the humanity of autistic people, because it helps perpetuate the idea that you can separate the person and their autism. you cannot. they're intertwined. it also helps perpetuate the idea that autistic people are inherently immature, which they are not.

so when building an autistic character, think: what canonical behaviours are autistic coded? how can I give this character an autistic explanation? how can I weave in authentic autistic representation whilst not sacrificing what makes this character themselves?

anyway. the problem is that people work backwards and not forwards, that they have a shallow understanding of a marginalised group they're trying to represent. replace autism with any other neurodivergence and it's the same issue.

tl;dr: I'm tired of widespread lacklustre and often harmful representation of autistic people in fandom. fandom is not mainstream media, sure, but you should still treat real disorders with care in your writing. if you write autistic characters like perpetual children - fine, do what you want. I'm not here to police you. but I am disappointed.

do better. stop slapping disabilities like autism on characters for diversity and woke points. it's exhausting.

alec lightwood from shadowhunters (no disrepect to book or movie stans but the Show specifically!!!!!!) like?? archery? gay? autistic? is only the Only Sane Man by virtue of everyone else around him being Like That, is actually incredibly chaotic and unhinged himself once left to his own devices? more intuitive and emotionally intelligent than he thinks or would give himself credit for?? pragmatic yet kind but also an asshole?? very kind but not nice vibes. flawed but trying SO SO SO HARD ALWAYS FOREVER??? just... utterly dependably devoted to those he loves? that's my type right there!!! blorbo from my heart fr fr <3

josie saltzman from legacies! @magiccarpetman introduced me to the show and was predictably right about who would be my favorite character lmao. what can i say except i love Sweet Good Girl Archetypes Who Are Struggling With Repressed Dark Sides?? coming into her own power was a treat for sure

jenny humphrey from ...... gossip girl lmao WHOOPS. i could write a Thesis on how much she was unfairly punished in the narrative of that show. and that made me!!!! very protective of her!!!!!

is it cheating to say both katniss everdeen and peeta mellark from thg???? the books very specifcially. they are a package deal for my enjoyment in blorbo land. just. them <333

sam winchester from spn but i can't talk about it without fear of getting stuck in a land i can't escape from dhshshs

Once Alec turns into mundane he will have his first visit to the dentist and I'm sure he will try to break the dentist's nose but Magnus will tie him to the chair with magic

(Clearly Alec will be very upset but not for more than a few hours)
