Ok so having so many Kintypes and theriotypes can be awesome but sometimes it’s just.. confusing.

Like right now, I feel very red panda. I wanna lay around and not do much, eat snacks, etc.

At the same time, I’ve had ginormous phantom wings for like 3 ish days now so, my mind is that of my winged kin type (I suspect it’s Angelkin bc I get very “all powerful” vibes but it might also be from this creature I imagine myself to be which I’m not sure if it truly exists)

Parallels between the owl beast and autism in kids. Let’s talk about it.

Ok so we all know that The Owl House has a lot of metaphors for various things. While re watching the episode “keeping up a-fear-ances” (where Eda and Lilith’s mom shows up) I noticed pretty early in the ep that the doctors were representative of therapists. This really shook me because the scam doctor was truly an embodiment of the crooks who will promise anything to get some money. During the part of the episode where Eda and Lilith are both in owls beast form and their mom is talking to them, something clicked.

the owl beast is a metaphor for autism. Let’s talk about that.

So… you know how autism parents will say things along the lines of “I love my kid but hate the autism!”? And you know how in a lot of cases they will search high and low for a “cure” and won’t listen to people saying there isn’t a cure? And you know how people in the autistic community will tell them that saying that they hate their kid’s autism is saying that they hate a part of their kid? And you know how Eda and Lilith’s mom is about Eda’s curse? Yeah….

I think that them becoming one with the owl beast is a metaphor for kids who are finally given the recourses they need to thrive with their autism rather than against it. Eda had the more hyperactive autism. She had constant “meltdowns” (going into owl beast form) and didn’t see the sense in rules and other social norms (there’s other things I could mention but in the interest of not writing an essay, just lmk in the comments if you would like more proof.) Lilith on the other hand showed clear signs of autism but because she was on the other end of the spectrum and because it was being compared to Eda, it was dismissed as normal behavior. Her mom didn’t give her enough attention and basically made her do everything for herself which is a common thing that happens with autistic children due to our different needs. I also have a headcannon that her sharing the curse with Eda is her coming to terms with the fact that she is also autistic.

So here’s some more correlations I noticed:

When we see the flashbacks of Eda’s life with the owl beast, all the times that she lashed out were very overwhelming. (One even being because of a loud and sudden sound).

Even in her day to day life now, the owl beast comes out when she is overwhelmed, tired, stressed, or all of the above.

She tried to hide her symptoms from all her loved ones.

In all the cases where the owl beast ruined a relationship (specifically with Raine), it always seemed to be because she was pushing the person away. (A thing a lot of high masking autistic people do.)

The owl beast is always portrayed as an inner demon. (Even when Eda turns into the owl beast, it’s more of a mix of the two of them presenting physically.)

While both Eda and Lilith grew up in the same house and (now) share the same curse, their personalities are in almost every way different. Almost as if they’re portraying two sides of the same spectrum…..

Lilith has a tendency to follow blindly if she feels the rules make sense, but as soon as they don’t make sense or are unjust, she does everything in her power to fight them (a common autistic trait)

I’ve thought heavily on this and there’s even more things that back up my idea so tell me if I should add to this or make a part two! Also, I’m not saying I’m completely correct, I just noticed this and thought it’s worth a share.
