Its Time. Time To Tell About My Headcanons.

its time. time to tell about my headcanons.

tw: mental illness

we start with basis. all fandom consider what riddler is autistic. its really looks like this. asociality, special interests... but listen to me.

he has some symptoms that makes me think differently.

1. he has many obsessions. and this obsessions looks more like obsessions of ocd than of autistic spectrum. its more local and particular thoughts. in the year one he s often can't rid of obsessive thoughts. he s literally saying "i can't help but think". and that s not completely the same like special interests of as. although he has global obsessions too.

2. inadequate affect. most of the time he s completely emotionless. but sometimes he also have emotional episodes. he s throwing up and screaming because of torments, he inflicting selfharm. in the movie edward shouting, laughing and crying very VERY often and strongly. like he s can't control his emotions.

3. hallucinations. or obsessive images. its not very clear. in the year one shown the fearful pictures of disfigured creatures, figure of batman in the window he saw. in one chapter he spoke with stranger who knew his name. and this stranger told him weird and frightening things.

4. asociality. yes, i have mentioned this. but thats fit in my version too. at the same time i don't detect signs of lack of social skills.

this symptoms together looks like... schizotypal disorder. in my opinion, this desease is more for him. based on everything I said above.

this picture headcanon is about his adolescence. during this period edward's desease progressed the most. and i drew the episode of catatonic stupor. it occurs as manifestation of schizophrenic spectrum.

in the future i will tell you more about this. thats all for now. thank you for your attention!
