there’s not enough pothead!dean fics out there and for why? i’m literally him and i’m all of my friends stoner father and like, yeah he might not smoke but that man would fuckin love edibles. he fights monster for a living. he gets fucked by an angel. you’re telling me that him, and fucking sam, too, have stigmas about drugs? sam did acid in college, like what. you think sam having demon blood being dripped in his mouth as a baby is his canon event? no, every version of him did shrooms at stanford. he literally was addicted to demon blood bc it gave him super powers and made him see things? deans an alcoholic bc its more convenient and easier to find (in the early 2000s) but if spn was on hbo and not right-wing christian ass-licker (TW), cw, he wouldve been a massive stoner and i live by that. (also the fact that dean probably hates that he’s like his father in being an alcoholic and would smoke pot as a final act of rebellion against j*hn that he wasnt able to do while his dad was alive) adding to if we had hbospn: dean can find weed (and adjacent substances) in any state they’re in.

These bad boys can fit so much neurodivergence in them (affectionate)

this is a completely unhinged take but ok so jensen has ADHD. he said it himself. and he's a smooth guy apparently. but he's also an actor. he's ALWAYS acting. and if he isn't acting in the moment he would be masking most likely. i don't know his life but that blows my mind.
now strap in and get your neurodivergent tin hats on, folks. what if dean is just him playing the dream version of himself and that's why he can't let dean die.

I just realised that all the media I adore has some level of autistic/neurodivergent coding and it's been that way since I was a child.
And like, oftentimes their different way of perceiving and being in the world is the driving force of the story/and or a crucial element in it.
There’s the canon example of the entire Camp Halfblood (ADHD), where the ADHD is literally what keeps the characters alive.
There's Dean Winchester (ADHD) whose hyperfixations are typically masculine (as well as geeky) and who never sits still, with the added bonus of Castiel (Autism), who Dean just... accepts, in a way I rarely see.
Then there’s the infamous Will Graham (Autism) whose hyperempathy is litterally the focal point of the entire narrative.
We have Haru from Free! (Autism), whose special interest (swimming) is the motivating factor for several other characters.
Reki and Langa from Sk8 the infinity (Autism), who share a special interest and grow a special bond because of it.
There's Sai from Hikaru No Go (Autism), who trancedented time and space to play Go (special interest) and whose special interest sets the story into motion.
We have any version of Sherlock Holmes (AuDHD), who's brilliance I attribute to a mixture of hyperfixations and special interest in crime solving. His conflicts with society and disregard of social norms are a central theme as well.
There's Anne with an E (Autism), who loves words and stories and speaks before she thinks (where all major problems arise due to her lack of understanding for social norms)
We have Pat and Pran from Bad Buddy (ADHD + Autism), like I dunno, I just really felt that vibe.
There's Beth Harmon from Queen's Gambit (Autism) with her special interest in Chess.
And like, the list goes on: Daryl Dixon, Jon Snow, Kotaro from Kotaro Lives Alone, Will Treaty from the Ranger's apprentice, Hal from the same author, Katniss Everdeen, Si-eun from Weak Hero Class 1, etc.
Don't get me wrong I've consumed plenty of stories without characters coded this way, but all the stories that truly resonated with me? Neurodivergent, all of them.
It's probably because the focus on social norms/hierarchy always seemed foreign to me. Eg. I like Skam but it's like a view into a completely foreign world where people function differently.

Everytime I point out that Dean Winchester is autistic, people get mad or look at me like I’ve spontaneously grown a second head, as if this man’s existence isn’t just checking off boxes for the diagnostic criteria
Special interests: westerns, cars, mechanical engineering stuff in general, 1960’s & 70’s music - specifically classic rock, monsters. You’re gonna look me in the eyes and tell me that it’s totally normal for someone who was born in 1979 to have borderline encyclopedic knowledge of two decades of music????? Hundreds of years of monster lore??? — for fuck’s sake, he had a train thing when he was little!!!! Those are special interests!!!!
Restricted diet: it’s mostly for Jokes but dean genuinely doesn’t eat much beyond burgers, diner food and pie.
Dean didn’t speak for months after Mary died and there’s 15 years of canon evidence where he loses his voice during moments of Big Emotions!!! He’s going nonverbal!!!!!!!
Trouble with social cues: literally look at every single instance of Dean trying to interact with strangers, ESPECIALLY in the early seasons. He’s not playing dumb, he just doesn’t get it. Also, watch any scene of this man TRYING to flirt and tell me that he’s any good at it. You know why? That bitch is mimicking the fucking movies and tv shows he grew up watching.
Sensory processing disorder: DO YOU THINK HE WEARS 87 LAYERS FOR FUN???? FOR FASHION????? WHAT DID YOU THINK ALL THE FLANNELS WERE ABOUT. THEY’RE SOFT. Also think about how much he liked the nightgown and the robe. ALSO, ALSO: school!!! It’s loud, it’s smelly, it’s dirty (his germ thing), the lights are too bright, there’s too much sensory input happening at one time. Between being so overwhelmed in school that he couldn’t focus and John pulling him left & right for cases and Sam, no wonder dean dropped out :(
14.04. The comic book episode is an ENTIRE episode about dean and his special interests!!!!!! And his social anxiety, hiding out in his room at the beginning of the episode because of all the strangers in his home 😤
Emotional regulation problems: those angry outbursts?? Destroying the Impala??? LOOK ME IN THE EYES AND TELL ME THATS NOT A MELTDOWN
His whole personality is a mask! He based his whole life and personality around the men he grew up around! John, Bobby, the other hunters - we all know that dean isn’t this rugged manly man he puts on. Sure people can have layers, but my man literally wore his dad’s actual jacket for fucking years
Black & white thinking: this doesn’t need anything else tbh
Strong sense of Justice: “how many people do you have to save?” “All of ‘em. Whole wide world of sports.”
Literal thinking: half the show is about how they both have to learn to look at monsters and not immediately go “monsters bad.” Also literal thinking is hard to explain, but I promise he does this.
Hyperlexic: “what? I read?”
“Too blunt”: all those times you thought “that was kinda harsh Dean” or “wtf that was so mean” - he doesn’t like lying to people when he doesn’t have to!
Hyper empathy: “The baby in the well? My bad.” “I do my best to be brave.” Sacrificing himself for people over and over again. The djinn episode and the speech he makes in front of John’s grave. His whole life he’s been told he cares too much!!!!
As a fellow AuDHD bitch, the most AuDHD thing Dean has ever said was “we know a little about a lot of things. Just enough to make us dangerous.” Also: “I got no idea. But what I do have is a GED and a give ‘em hell attitude, and I’ll figure it out.”
Like I could dive into the nuances of all of these and explain them in great detail and find textual evidence for basically everything, but it’s too early in the morning for that much work when I know that I’m right. Yeah he has adhd, obviously, but I will eat my left hand if that man isn’t autistic.

Sam if his Partner Has ADHD
He would immediately adapt to it because well…have you met Dean Winchester?
Probably won’t recognize it at first because many femmes who have ADHD do not share the same symptoms as masculine
If his partner was masculine, then yeah he’ll know
You’d definitely give him whiplash because you stay so calm under intense pressure (or you try to fake it) yet simple things get you easily upset (emotional dysregulation FTW)
Either way, he’ll do what he can to help you calm down
Probably would also want to talk about it, but if not, he’ll probably hug you and just stay in silence
You’re pretty impulsive like Dean is so Sam is your voice of reason
Will cook foods that cater to your likes and dislikes if you have issues with texture
Help find creative ways to help you get chores done when executive dysfunction kicks in
Or he will get products that help ease it (get a dishwasher so it’s easier to do the dishes for example or a robo vaccum so it’s easier to vaccum the bunker space)
Listens to your latest hyperfixation, finding it adorable when you’re really interested in something no matter how “weird” it is
“I found this cool article about a weird bank heist that was never solved. Wanna hear about it? I wanna know what you think really happened.”
100% helps you remember to TAKE YOUR MEDICINE (if you take it)
Overall, Sam will learn the boundaries and respect them while also helping you get through the day as much as you can.
