rafe is such an old man .. in terms of pop culture he has no idea what’s going on. he has a phone for business and that’s it 😭 so when you start throwing around phrases like “skibidi rizz” and “that’s so sigma,” just for funsies, he’s beyond confused, staring at you like you’ve grown a third head and are speaking a dead language.

whenever you see something below your standards you casually drawl out “ermmm it’s giving pogue,” and rafe has to remind himself to breath. his response is almost always the same; a deep sigh, eyes narrowed and nose scrunched, as if he’s trying to figure out the code to the queen’s safe. “what the fuck are you even sayin’ right now??” he’s genuinely frustrated, going as far as mumbling about “this generation” and “kids these days.” (this works especially well if we’re talking older!rafe)

some prime examples:

“period”: when he says something that you agree with; “period… what? finish your sentence, what’s the rest of it??”

“touch grass”: when he’s bitching about pogues ruining his plans; “the fuck does that even fucking mean.”

when you keep going he has to physically hold himself back, rubbing his temples as if that’ll help him make sense of it. he’s soooo irritated that you don’t explain what you mean, making him snap on more than one occasion, “the fucks wrong with you. seriously, can you like — speak like a normal person for once.” he hasn’t caught onto the fact that the more he reacts the more you play into it, pushing his buttons and wearing on his patience like it’s the best part of your day.

i’m actually sooooo normal about this lolllll <- lying

“No, I’m serious. It sounds lovely. I’ll have it. You have to give it to me. It’s got to go somewhere.”

Reid’s Autistic Traits

I was bored, so I decided to make a compilation of sorts on my favorite autistic character, Dr. Spencer Reid. These have been piling up in my files, so prepare for a gif-style infodump.

Stimming

Self-stimulatory behavior often consists of repetitive movements. Reid is frequently seen fidgeting with his hands and other objects. He almost always talks with prominent hand movements. He also frequently touches his face. Reid occasionally spins in chairs, rocks back and forth, etc.

Missing Social Cues/Confusion in Social Situations

Despite his excellent profiling skills, his interactions with strangers and friends often leave Reid confused and causes him issues when trying to connect with people. He will miss jokes and sarcasm, take things literally, and occasionally gets uncomfortable when speaking publicly.

Infodumping, Hyperfocus, Special Interests

Reid’s special interests, as I have observed them, involve general knowledge seeking, criminology, Halloween, old foreign films, and sci-fi. Reid has a more rare trait of autistic people; savantism. If you believe in quantifying intelligence, Reid has an extremely high IQ (187), He also has an eidetic memory and can read 20,000 words per minute. When Reid is working a case, he frequently enters hyperfocus, ignoring everything else around him. Reid often goes into long-winded explanations of things and is oblivious to others’ frustration with his infodumping.

Sensory Issues

Reid doesn’t have as many obvious sensory seeking/avoidant behaviors as many other autistics, but it does manifest every once in a while. Reid is often uncomfortable with touching strangers, especially shaking hands. He has shown sensitivity to bright lights and loud sudden noises. Reid’s clothing choices also reflect his preference to be comfortable.

Coordination/Spatial Issues

Reid tends to display spatial awareness, coordination, and dexterity issues. He prefers academic pursuits, and ridicule in childhood further led to his aversion to physical activity/sports. He has also only very rarely been shown to drive a car, and takes the train to work. This may be due to difficulties with driving ability.

Appearance/Hygiene issues

Many autistic people struggle with basic hygiene and appearance upkeep. Reid’s hair, whether short or long, is almost always messy and unkempt. Reid’s clothes are often disheveled as well.

Trouble Regulating/Expressing Emotions

Reid tends to suppress his emotions much of the time, but when he experiences strong emotions they tend to pour out and seriously effect him in ways that don’t effect the rest of the team. Reid also tends to have odd/exaggerated facial expressions which may be a way of overcompensating for his struggles of expressing himself acceptably.

Additional stuff:

Avoiding Eye Contact

Going Non-Verbal (I’ve only ever seen this happen to Reid once)

Resistant to Change

Sitting Cross-legged (I’m not actually sure if this is an autistic trait but I always sit like this and so does Reid so I thought I’d include it)

So yeah, I hope that was informative. It was fun to make this post! Thanks for reading!
