What are your autistic character headcanons?
Mine are:
I abs LOVE this show. So silly. So real. So un-real!
I've just started re-watching Resident Alien before I watch the 3rd series. I don't think that is about an alien from another planet
So many mentioned I think yes definitely. Harmonies, Bryn,,Gordon Brittas, even Nessa there’s something different about her I can’t put my finger on. Apart from the brashness, tough exterior but sensitive inside and the wild and crazy life she’s had
There were hints of something with Ben but never he is Autistic. Karen she was very different but very likely to be Autistic.
It is a very sweet and wholesome game, I should play it for myself one day, I've only seen playthroughs of it for multiple times.
Papyrus is so dear to me! I love that his weird quirks are so loved. I played Undertale for the first time last year (well, a friend streamed it to me bc the combat gives me carpal tunnel cramps) and I feel like a changed person. Cannot IMAGINE how changed I would have been if I'd gotten into it when it was tumblr's favourite thing.

I love that! Now I too headcanon them as autistic. It's been a while since I saw anything undertale, but I think Papyrus was one of my favorite characters.
Estinien Varlineau and Urianger Augerelt - FFXIV (to be fair I think most of FFXIV's cast are autistic but these two are the most blatant examples of two different ends of the spectrum)
FitzChivalry Farseer - The Realm of the Elderlings (I've only read the first two books and I'm currently reading book 3)
Alphys and Papyrus - Undertale
Mid Telamon - FFXVI (she's very strongly AuDHD coded but I doubt it's intentional)
Sigma - Overwatch (I know there's also Symmetra and she is my preferred DPS but she is explicitly autistic so idk if she counts)
Akane "June" Kurashiki - Zero Escape
Mizuki Okiura and Iris Sagan - Ai: The Somnium Files
Futaba Sakura - Persona 5 (her English voice actress strongly believes that she is autistic so this one is semi-canon because her VA did research to authentically portray autistic quirks and mannerisms)
Akihiko Sanada - Persona 3
Laios Touden - Delicious in Dungeon (his English VA is also autistic!)
Gale Dekarios - Baldur's Gate 3 (he is intentionally coded as autistic but not with the purpose of being rep but instead to be "annoying" when you first meet him which is :/ but I love him)
Cloud Strife, Sephiroth and Aerith Gainsborough - FFVII
There's dozens more but I'm in a brain fog rn and can't recall them!!
ahhh kristofferson!! i totally think so too!
I thought first you meant Ash's cousin cause I had forgotten the names, cause I remember his cousin was really good at things and also a but quiet, but Ash himself makes sense too when I read about it again to refresh my memory now.
batman.... childhood trauma... high inteligence.... fixation on things such as martial arts, gadgets and justice... also a fixation on his lost parents. probably knows every fact about bats there is to know lol dresses as a bat... obsessed with bats... claims everyone is afraid of them when nobody is afraid of them lol
ohhh i'm so happy i found this discussion!! i have a few characters i think are autistic!
Dale from Cuckoo.
I've got another one now: Vera Misham from Ace Attorney.
I've heard the Doctor (Doctor Who) being described, in-canon, being described by humans, post-encounter, as ADD and autistic, and I think there's a decent case to be made there! Some of their incarnations are better at masking than others but key traits remain: hyperfixation until a problem is solved, but a certain cluelessness/obliviousness about the mopping up needed afterwards!
Great!

There’s apparently going to be more of Tori so I’m excited
I googled Hat Kid and they remind me of Trucy from Ace Attorney. Cute character design.
Absolutely!
