HOly fucking SHIT-

Guys I just had a complete Shellstrop style “holy motherforking shirt balls” moment at work about Donnie’s unusual speaking patterns. You know, when he does this:

This tendency to narrate his actions in the third person or verbally say onomatopoeias in place of the sound is uh… well it’s autistic right? Look it features in literally every compilation but no one knows why other than “vibes, sometimes it just be like that 🤷”

But NO. No it NOT be like that. I finally know what this fucking nerd is doing, hear me out…

… he’s scripting.

Think about it. You know what else describes action, emotion, and sound in purely words? Books. He has these little speaking quirks, yah, but if you actually zoom out and see the whole picture, Donnie talks like he’s a narrator. This makes a SHIT ton of sense considering we already have textual evidence that he engages in scripting behavior (more specifically some possible echolalia. See: saying “New York! What a Town!” in any situation something kind of abnormal happens after he hears Splinter say it with the exact same infections and everything.)

And we also know from the mystic library that Donnie actively seeks out and enjoys reading. So it stands to reason an autistic 14 year old who likes to be left alone to work on complex machines a decent amount and takes pride in his intellect would model the way he communicates off of written media as opposed to tv or his brothers. He could fill his social tool box with lines from Jupiter Jones and Lou Jitsu movies, but he may think it would give him less of a chance to properly express his capabilities.

Books are also the only form of media that can literally just tell you flat out what a character’s expression or emotion is supposed to be without it being awkward, which would be really appealing for Donnie. What solidifies this for me is the fact that at least once he verbally says “sad face emoji”, which could not have come from a novel or textbook. But we often do flagrantly use emoticons as tone indicators, and Donnie is constantly on his phone.

I think he’s definitely aware that this is not a regular way of communicating, but he’s clearly also self aware of his issues in getting his emotional meaning across and receiving input back. So it stands to reason he would accommodate this in a way that, yes, makes him sound odd, but is at least effective.

Now for my final little “I’ve connected the dots. I’ve connected them” moment, I headcannon that Donnie learned to read before he fully got the hang of speech. Aside from… literally everything I just said, he uses sign language to tell the squirrels to blow up his treehouse in that one episode. But he does the sign for “make” a bit incorrectly (there should be a slight twist in his upper fist), which leads me to believe he was probably taught baby sign out of necessity rather than being fully proficient in asl. This is fairly common for autistic children with speech delays.

So TMMT Donnie has a character-significant plot point that his first and favorite video game is Earthbound, and that he’s emotionally attached to one of the characters.

Issue is, I’ve never played and know very little about Earthbound.

But now! Because of a fictional character I made! I kinda wanna go play Earthbound!

#first is was rise donnie and rollerskating now it’s tmmt Donnie and video games #I’m not kidding about significance it has like relevance to his every thing avbdnndnd #it’s the autism in him frfr #teenage meddling mutant turtles #khaotic

So today I was told a story about an ex-husband who has OCD and it is focused on his ex-wife. He’s constantly dropping by the house, driving near the house, mowing her lawn, and other random things because he compulsively needs to be around her. The ex-wife lets him because she feels sorry for him. She’s not at risk in any way and he has no ill will to her in the slightest. He’s OCD and she gets that.

This is just how they live.

Because it doesn’t have to be creepy. Because sometimes people can’t help a mental illness. Because OCD is real and hard to handle.

Now imagine if you were never diagnosed with OCD. Imagine if you spent your entire life not learning obvious social cues. And then one day, your compulsions locked onto an unsuspecting person.

Sure, people mention how weird it is, but you’ve always been weird in other people’s eyes. Your brothers have always made snide comments about your habits and hobbies. It’s not like you’re hurting her. She might need help. Or want to talk. You need to check on her. Find out what she’s doing. You just need to. This is the last time. The final visit. Just one more time. Just one more time. Just one mo-

Yes, Donnie from Rise of the TMNT is autistic. Yes, he is also feral and maniac and bloodthirsty. Those two aren’t related, he’s just a soft shell, they’re carnivorous and vicious little fuckers. Verrrrrry aggressive. The autism is a totally separate thing.

#i love him #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rise!donnie #yesssssssss go for throat Donnie #this show has me looking up fucking turtle facts man #absolutely insane #(by the by if you’re wondering: yes I did make this post because I saw other people getting irritated with Donnie being autistic AND feral.)#(something about it being a problem and look man: feral characters go brrrrrr. Donnie being feral has nothing to do with his autism.)#that’s a separate thing.

2012!Mikey's neurodivergency being treated like an annoyance, constantly mocked and punished for it, vs Rise!Donnie's neurodivergency being acknowledged, accepted, and actively adapted to by his brothers

#rottmnt #tmnt #tmnt 2012 #while im beginning to really enjoy 2012 this is definitely a criticism i have #honestly 2012!mikey is just no impulse control resulting from adhd and misunderstanding social cues due to autism #(probably. i headcanon that he has both adhd and autism)#a lot of the things that he does that annoys his brothers are just. neurodivergency #hes not an idiot #nor is he pretending to be an idiot on purpose #on the other hand #rise!donnie is shown with low empathy #misinterpreting social cues #hyperfixating #etc #and he is always treated with compassion by his brothers #even if these things sometimes cause issues for him or the others #the contrast really highlights the differences between the two shows i think

if i had a nickel for every time I found out that a fellow peepaw multiverse fic writer also has purple hair, i'd have like four nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened four times.

#is this the Writing A Leo Centric Fic But Has Autism/Adhd So Feels Connected To Donnie pipeline #??#purple hair and pronouns
