What Autistic People Want Our Friends To Know

What autistic people want our friends to know…

Neurodivergent_lou

The Disappearing Act. support me with tips, kofi, commissions

keep seeing Temu ads on here so just to share cause idk if people are widely aware

"Jegulus isn't realistic" They say as though the characters they're talking about aren't fucking wizards

peter pettigrew headcanons because he was relevant

his favourite colour was orange

had a lot of orange hats, scarves, coats, gloves - because his friends knew that colour and they ran with it for ten years

big denim guy

always points out that denim would stop a zombie from biting you and everyone groans in unison

geology nerd

he wasn't the kindest marauder, but he was the nicest. said hello and thank you and please to everyone he met, always smiled and called his friends' parents "sir" and "ma'am"

had pollen allergies

he had a few jokes he keeps circling back to, because he knows they'll get laughs and he's quite insecure about his sense of humour (as you would be, hanging out with the marauders)

studied his arse off for the OWLs and got mostly E's, and two A's.

grew a beard after school

remus hated it and begged him to shave it off (he did)

his dad did believe in pretty traditional masculine values, so he was raised pretty harsh

never went without in terms of material stuff

was incredibly disappointed that he was a rat

he thinks crocheting is just a copy of knitting and will yell about it if you get him drunk enough

he knitted stuff in first and second year before his dad found out and stopped him from doing it

half-blood, his dad was a muggle and his mum a half-blood witch

in his later hogwarts years he genuinely thought he was being brave for joining the Order, but he was just joining because everyone else was doing it

new zine about asexual history! this one's been rattling around my head for awhile
