Silly Game Time: In honor of Autism Awareness Month, who are some of your favorite autistim spectrum characters? And what do you like about them? They can be from any media (movies, shows, books, comics, games, etc.) (OCs count, too, of course). All that matters is that you read them as autistic and you like them!
(Unlike other "favorite ___ characters" type of questions, this response will almost necessarily be more about your interpretation and about vibes, given that autism isn't a physical trait like skin color or species. Also, it's rarely explicitly stated in the text by authors, and it can manifest in many different ways, too. So be aware that there are no wrong answers.)
My favourite autism spectrum characters. I dont actually have many fandoms that I interact with.
I know in hannibal will grahams diagnosed with autism, although I dont think he's great rep, he is a cool character though.
The owl house which i saw recently i dont think any of them are canonically autistic, but luz, her mum camilla, gus, and hunter i think are autistic-coded. I've seen people say they're written in a way that might suggest autism, which made sense to me, and they're all really cool characters.
Then the last set. None of them are canon autistic. But I do think these make sense as autism coded characters, and they're also characters that i love - robin, dustin, and el/jane from stranger things.
Happy autism awareness month to everyone on the autism spectrum. Whether you are high functioning and/or high support needs you deserve to be valued, listened to and respected.
