No Offense But I Think Some Of You Would Be A Lot Happier Writing A Fictional Atlas Or Encyclopedia Instead

A little rat with some Klimt-inspired doodles.

shoutout to offputting autistic people

the autistic charlie kelly (sorta) masterpost:

trouble controlling the pitch of his voice, yells a lot but doesn’t always intend to

good at setting routines for himself, and following them, even though other people view them as strange or bad

his mail system w/ burn/send to himself/deliver

the cat food/beer/glue system when dee spends the night

trouble interacting with people outside of the gang

auditory processing issues

may account for some of his trouble reading and writing

can lead to problems following directions or like distinguishing between similar sounding words/sounds

it can also be like hearing what someone says but not understanding any of it

has a restricted diet bc of sensory issues

hasn’t eaten a lot of fruits (not necessarily bc sensory issues)

tries a pear and has an immediate sensory reaction (i.e. saying it tastes like sand, because even if it wasn’t ripe most people wouldn’t have that adverse of a reaction to it)

eats foods that he knows are good sensory-wise frequently (i.e. cheese)

also creates foods that are pleasing sensory-wise (milksteak)

also likes dark places bc sensory issues

sewers n stuff like that

stims by shaking his legs, tapping his feet, tapping on things with his hands

stims when happy vocally (shouting things) and by clapping

stims when angry/upset by shouting, pulling at his hair, and sorta cupping his hands over his ears, touching his face

bad at regulating his facial expressions (maybe)

‘the gang solves the gas crisis’

talks with his hands all the time 

sometimes to try to get across what he means when he has trouble communicating it verbally

special interest in musical stuff, writing songs/music

gets really stressed out about major change

leaving philly for the first time

frank moving in w/ his mother

doesn’t own many shirts, maybe bc sensory issues?? idk

misinterprets what other people are saying (maybe auditory processing stuff)

‘the gang gets analyzed’

echolalia

repeats what people say a lot (also ‘the gang gets analyzed’)

also communicates in movie references or tries to communicate how he feels using movie characters

uhh that’s all i can think of right now!! feel free to reblog n add stuff y’know! i’m always happy to see other ppl’s headcanons etc. :D

A really fun one, the second year that the same book club has commissioned a print of their reads!

charlie is so autistic coded it isn’t even funny. obscure special interests. doesn’t understand social cues or norms. you can never tell if he’s joking or serious. just “gets” music to the point he’s a genius with it. has to have his own psychological trauma explained to him so he can realize it’s trauma. same outfit 4/7 days of the week. safe foods are weird and also all he wants to eat. big feelings that he can’t process without a meltdown. vocal and physical stims. pattern recognition. doesn’t like physical affection. has meltdowns when overstimulated. loves routine and gets upset when his schedule is changed. it’s all autism babey.
