wednesday addams is really autistic, and here’s why.
by me, someone who is sooooo neurotypical and normal about fictional characters.
plus, i push my wenclair agenda
quick recap™ on autism (+ a disclaimer):

autism is a developmental disorder that generally presents in differences in social interaction, repetitive behaviors and obsessive interests.
AUTISM IS A SPECTRUM.
no two people with autism are going to have the exact same symptoms. everyone with autism presents in a different way.

disclaimer: this is just based on MY PERSONAL interpretation of the character. if you really don't want her to be autistic then you can just ignore this. and if you go misinterpreting my point that’s a you problem.
reason #1 - lack of social awareness

c’mon. it’s like, a premise of her character.
one of the hallmark traits of autism is difficulty with social interaction, which wednesday clearly represents in the show.
she is shown to dislike social interaction, more than can be chalked up to an introverted personality.
autistic people may also struggle to understand how others are feeling during a conversation; hence, why wednesday inadvertently hurts so many feelings over the course of the show.
essentially, she’s shown to have a complete lack of social understanding that leads to a few key plot points of the show.
reason #2 - obsession with all things deathly 
as another key part of her character, it would not be a stretch to say that wednesday’s special interest is death, and all things that come with it.
wednesday is fascinated by death, and will gladly share relevant knowledge even though she dislikes conversation.
for example, she is shown to know a lot about poisonous plants, execution methods, crime investigation and postmortem practices such as autopsies and taxidermy. 
special interests, or intense focus on specific topics, is another extremely common symptom of autism.
reason #3 - averse to touch

unfortunately for a certain someone, physical touch is really not wednesday’s thing.
hypersensitivity to (especially light) touch, which is common in autistic individuals, could be what makes wednesday hate being touched so much.
‘but wait! enid does hug her in episode 8!’
i know. we all love that scene.
the thing is, light touch is generally the problem with autistic people, and firm touch, like a strong hug (as we see in ep. 8) from a trusted person can actually provide deep compressions that can be very soothing. this serves the same purpose as a weighted blanket.
reason #4 - ‘allergic to color’

maybe wednesday is just really goth.
or maybe she has a sensitivity to bright colors that, like physical touch, can make her feel overwhelmed very easily.
autistic people can often feel overwhelmed by bright lights and colors, and prefer more neutral colors because they’re less stimulating.
this could be why wednesday prefers dark tones like black, and is so easily irritated by the bright colors that enid loves.
reason #5 - adherence to routine

people with autism tend to be very dedicated to their daily schedule, as is wednesday.
wednesday takes an hour out of every day to write her novel, and is inflexible when enid asks to spend that time doing something else.
she also dedicates nighttimes to playing her cello.
(incidentally, the fact that she plays the cello is interesting in itself - instruments such as the cello and violin are popular with neurodiverse people because the vibrations from stringed instruments can be soothing to people with sensory issues.)
reason #6 - monotone voice and limited facial expressions

as part of their differences in social interaction, autistic people often express themselves in ways that are seen as atypical.
often, they will speak in a flat or monotone voice, as wednesday does.
wednesday also rarely shows her emotions on her face. she rarely cries, laughs or smiles, which are outward expressions of emotion that might not come naturally to autistic people.
this is a symptom of autism commonly seen in autistic-coded characters, like wednesday or captain holt of brooklyn nine-nine.
reason #7 - apparent lack of empathy

a common facet of the impaired social skills that often come with autism is the inability to understand when others are hurt or upset.
(this was touched on in the first example but will be explained more in depth here.)
wednesday does come across as cold and uncaring, and often hurts others’ feelings (xavier, enid) without meaning to.
it’s clear that hurting people isn’t her intention and that she really does care, which is shown, for example, after enid leaves and when thing gets stabbed.
she is also confused by and unable to interpret emotional outbursts.
in conclusion, she’s big autistic.

+ some other interesting things / examples:

the fact that she wears all black where no one else does (eg the fencing scene) makes her stand out and could symbolically represent how a lot of autistic people feel different from others & unable to fit in.
after her iconic dance number she is shown taking a break alone in a quiet room, which could be her needing to recharge after spending time in an overwhelming environment.
no, she doesn’t participate in physical stims like hand flapping, which is a stereotypical sign of autism, but a lot of autistic people, especially girls, learn to mask their stims early on to appear ‘normal’, which takes a lot of energy. hence why wednesday spends so much time alone.

thank you all for coming to my presentation!

there’s like. there’s probably more this is just off the top of my head.

there’s transcripts in the alt text if you don’t want to squint :)
