WAIT WAIT-

In American Sign Language, communication isn’t just about how you move your hands. Your facial expressions are vital to accurately relaying your intended message. And not just “oh be expressive for tone” I mean literally there are standardized rules for how to move your face and in what context. The signs for “big” and “little” are practically meaningless without the appropriate mouth-shape, “ice cream you like?” is no longer a question and therefore means something completely different if you aren’t raising your eyebrows, etc.

So it literally JUST occurred to me Donnie’s motivation for drawing eyebrows on his mask could be completely for practical reasons considering he canonically has at least a basic understanding of asl.

"Dinner Time"

Me: *very proud of his cooking* "Ta-Da!!!!! This is pasta with spinach & salmon!"

Raph: *happily starts eating* "Oh, this is so yum!!!!!!"

Leon: *suspiciously inspecting the food with a fork in front of him* "Mhmmm..."

Donnie: *looks at Leon*

Leon: *starts eating* "Oh, geez, that's delicioso~"

Me: *beams happily*

Donnie: *looks at the plate of spaghetti in front of him & slowly raises his fork with a piece of salmon & puts it in his mouth*

Donnie: *swallows & looks at me*

Donnie: "I cannot eat that, it makes me gag."

Me: *swaps out his plate with a rice cake with peanut butter*

Donnie: *with tears in his eyes* "Thank you."

My body: I am hungry. Look, I'm making noises. Brrrrrrrrrrrup.

Me: What is this?

My body: *sends mental images of food*

Me: I am being manipulated by my own mind.

My body: PLEASE. I WANNA HAVE FOOD.

Me: I am feeling so awful, I think I'm getting sick.

Donnie's Meltdown

Fun fact about me: Because I was born with autism, when I was a baby, it didn't matter if I was dead asleep, distracted by a toy, or whatever, whenever my mom needed to go to Walmart, I would absolutely scream my head off as soon as she pulled into the parking lot and I wouldn't stop until we drove home, due to the fact that I hated bright lights, loud noises and strangers. It frustrated her to no end. Plus, my mom had twins and she would always have people come up to her to ask questions like "Are they twins? Are they identical? Did you know you were having them? Which one is older? Did you have them naturally? Have they ever done anything at the same time?" So irritating.

Here, Splinter is trying to get some shopping done, and most of his kids are cool as cucumbers, except for his autistic one. Splinter gets so frustrated when he's trying to get errunds done, but Donnie is having none of this. This was before he found out that Donnie has autism, before he would think that he was just fussy, and he would try everything. He tried making sure he was fed and well rested before the trip, didn't work. He tried to give him a toy to distract him, it didn't work. He tried to put pacifiers in his mouth to get him to quiet down, it didn't work. He tried to wear him with the baby carrier to make him feel close and hopefully calm him down, it didn't work. He tried to feed him or change him before they went in, thinking that was why he was crying, it didn't work. He resorted to just bearing through it until they left, when Donnie would magically stop crying.

🔥The Autism Twins🔥

Inspired by an autism creature gif I use on discord, I made a version for the disaster twins because in my eyes they both have autism

Shigeo wins by psychoanalyzing Donnie due to understanding their similarities. The two get MobDonald's later :3

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this low-effort meme comic. Mob's dialogue largely comes from his fight with Teru in episode 5.

Do you have any coping mechanisms when you are overstimulated?

P.S. LONG LIVE DISASTER TWINS!!

I do.

And yes, it is completely fine if you forget to cope.

I forget it a lot.

Here's a list:

Listening to music to tune out environmental noise

Wearing sunglasses - the phrase 'wow it's so loud, I need my sunglasses' fits quite well: tuning out one sensory input can help to endure the non-stop information from the other senses

Rocking/swaying, using fidgets - ACTIVELY ENGAGING IN STIMMING

Not verbally speaking, especially if it hurts or takes too much effort (maybe texting instead)

Retreating to my safe space (my lab)

Sleeping if I am able to (laughs in insomniac)

Cling to Raphael

Using my weighted blanket to cover myself (or let Raph deep pressure hug me)
