is there any way that i can tell moirail that theyre definitely autistic or at least suggest that they look into it without sounding mean

#they walk with their arms straight at their sides they dont understand social cues their special interest is definitely herpetology #(hypothetical or otherwise) they tv talk all the time (although the tv is usually memes) they use scripts for most interactions they get #overwhelmed by loud noises and screw their eyes shut and cover their ears and rock back and forth when they happen #they dont like being touched all that much (which kinda sucks for me since thats my love language but its ok) idk their opinions on #eye contact but ill ask. ive just been taking notes for a while plus their mom is autistic (self diagnosed good for her) and idk if that #plays into anything but theres that #some more surface level things are that they like dragons and are ace and wear the same outfit every day basically or the same type at leas #(collared shirt and a skirt or leggings. or both. i saved them from jeans under a skirt at least) they like dnd and basically all their #friends are nd. ive observed that they drift to the neurodivergent ppl in a group and make fun of the neurotypical ones #so yeah. help. also a mean kid at golf camp called them autistic as an insult so idk how to say it w/o it sounding like that #like they were like “haha a kid called me autistic. isnt that crazy. im so neurotypical” and went on to call some reptile a “crocodilian” #and make everyone at the table watch multiple minute long videos of the same lizard they saw in hawaii #oh oh and ive noticed that they have hyperempathy but low emotional intelligence like they wont notice if im like super depressed but theyll #burst into tears if a lizard is held wrong. or if someone like throws a toy at a wall #and they hate little kids because theyre overwhelming and unpredictable
