I feel like we don’t talk about Bob’s hyperfixation on Cake enough lol. Literally so relatable
“i found a sack of feet”
I never cease to be amazed at my ability to mess up my room in such a short time
okay I will be honest I fucking HATE the trope/archetype where a character has behaviors that very heavily imply they're autistic but in the actual piece of media they go to great lengths to be like "no I'm not autistic! I've been tested and they say I'm not! I'm just me :) !" coward behavior. however. I do think there are some. SOME characters where it's so so much fucking funnier if they have a fuck ton of autistic traits but it's for reasons Completely Different from autism and They're Not Autistic They're Just Like That. for example

*Though, this really only applies to more smaller tasks (such as doing the dishes). Giving very specific instructions for more complicated tasks can confuse and bewilder us more.
** And yes, ADHDers can take things literally too. Its not much of an issue for us as autistic folks though.
Why Bruce Wayne Is Autistic
i am 100% convinced this man is autistic. fight me. this post is specifically about battinson, but the other versions of batman also seem autistic to me (i am autistic myself so i should know). btw this is just my interpretation of what we saw of him in the movie, so sorry if any of this is wrong maybe i am just bad at analyzing stuff-
disclaimer: ignorant and ableist comments will be deleted
warnings : none
he is very soft spoken
monotone voice
eye contact seems difficult for him (either very intense or not at all)
"inappropriate" staring
his face doesn't show much emotion (but his eyes are so expressive)
seems socially awkward (same tbh lmao)
doesn't laugh at jokes (or doesn't understand them?)
doesn't reply to others sometimes (it could be that he's nonverbal occasionally or just needs more time to think of an answer)
needs to be reminded to take a shower or eat
sensitive to light (wears sunglasses indoors)
high pain tolerance
strong sense of justice
black and white thinking (thinking his dad was either a bad OR good person, viewing gordon as a good cop)
notices small details/patterns that others don't
special interest could be being batman and protecting gotham or building tools/upgrading the batmobile
hyper-empathy but can't really express it (example: for the mayor's son or selina)
prefers working alone
rejects social norms (doesn't really try to sound polite, immediately starts speaking to alfred when he woke up)
other people treat him like he's some fragile being or a child (many autistic people get treated like that, sadly). alfred did this but i know he only meant well (which makes sense since he practically raised him). falcone did it too but in a condescending way
also this doesn't have to do anything with battinson but look at this comic panel (from "batman the imposter") :
