Can you please talk about autistic Leslie Knope? Thank you 💖
Special interest in politics, Pawnee, parks, and her friends (especially Ann and Ben). She gets super excited about all of these things.
Assumes the best of people and can be easily fooled because of this. She’ll assume someone is a good person with good intentions and then it turns out they’re not and she feels betrayed. But because she assumes the best of people she also ends up making lots of friends!
Has a naturally obsessive personality, which leads her to be very driven in achieving her goals but also leads her to hyperfocus on details that, in the big picture, aren’t that important.
Hyperempathy! (”I care. I care a lot. It’s kinda my thing.”) This goes hand-in-hand with how driven she is because if what she’s doing will benefit other people, she is even more determined to get it done.
Misinterprets social situations, people’s intentions and feelings, acts differently than most people would in social situations, breaks social norms.
Genuine and honest almost 100% of the time. Hates and is uncomfortable with lying. She’s also very bad at it.
Not very good at staying calm when she hits a roadblock or when someone is rude to her or says something she doesn’t like. Ends up yelling or being very melodramatic.
Has “comfort foods” (waffles!).
Her favorite form of stimming is hugging her friends.
