directly quoting my qpp on this

(cut bcuz this is LONG)

"christine having adhd doesnt fit.. that much, lets just think about this christine gives off much more autistic behavior then adhd. (before i start yapping im neurodivergent dont attack me this isnt me stereotyping)anyways, my evidence to christine not having add or adhd but being autistic, starts off if we think about “I love Play Rehearsal” when she says the line about being depressed and then goes on her tangent about not actually being depressed and how she wasn’t literal. Autistic people often overexplain themselves because they dont want what they are saying to be interpreted wrong or incorrectly. Christine losing focus during “I Love Play Rehearsal” wasn’t due to having “a touch of add”, it was because she got distracted by connecting her passions to the conversation. Also if we notice the line “like if im living up to all im meant to be” christine literally just wordvomits her thoughts despite some of them not being soically appropriate during “I Love Play Rehearsal”. Another piece of evidence is if we listen to christine’s reason for liking play rehearsal. *rules*. It is *rules*, guidelines that help set her straight. Autistic people often resort to having more instructions and structure to sort things out and make them easier to do. This implies that Christine finds play rehearsal easier than her life because she has a *guide*. Because her plans can never differ because she knows what is to happen next. Autistic people often don’t like surprises or changes in rountine. Christine feels comfortable because she knows that that will most likely not happen. She feels *secure*. At the end of “I love Play Rehearsal” the thing that christine does that she wants to do. “Normal” teens wouldn’t do something so socially awkward and “odd”. Christine clearly has no filter which also kinda contributes to my reasoning that christine is autistic. ALSO THE UNINCUMBERED JOY THAT CHRISTINE FEELS BECAUSE PLAY REHEARSAL IS GOING TO START!? That is not neurotypical excitement. Onto “guy i’d kinda be into” that entire song is autistic coded. The overly honesty of how she feels is.. spectrum behavior. Onto minor details.. in “Voices In My Head” christine says she just wanted things to be easier. Dude literally every unmasked autistic person acts like themselves but has those spells of desired normalcy. ANYWAYS. Basically christine matches autism coded behavior rather than add or adhd as the fandom suggests."

i agree! thank you for sharing :] there's definitely parts that are more general and could be attributed to adhd Or autism, but overall her whole manner is very autistic to me moreso than solely adhd, especially in her 'romantic' discussions and interactions like "guy who i'd kinda be into" and "voices in my head" she is So So autistic you're right. and her special interest reads as much more of an autistic comfort and spin than an adhd fixation.

i actually think it would be pretty in-line for her to be diagnosed with ad[h]d instead of autism but like, incorrectly. she identifies adhd behavior in herself and calls it out sometimes, but like. is that just because it's what she's been told is a symptom to be scritinized and apologized for? being like, "sorry, i got distracted" because you've been told you have the Distracted Disorder, despite the fact that you weren't distracted, you were just extremely eager to share the connection with your passion and bulldozed the typical conversational progression to do so. but if a doctor, or your parents, or whoever, told you that you're adhd, of course you're going to find an adhd explanation for every "abnormal" behavior you display.

in the meta sense i think she is honestly an autistic character misdiagnosed by the writers. i can definitely see a world where they read her character's fixation on plays, decided she had something going on, and then threw in the diagnosis of adhd... but honestly the only reason to [pick adhd over autism as her specific neurodivergency] for this character is because [the writing team] can't view her simultaneously as a love interest and autistic, and her role in the show is already determined. so even when they write an extremely autistic character, they have to call her something else (something 'milder' and 'more palatable') so that she can still be the love interest, despite her being very clearly autistic to everyone watching. which sucks.

#i spent a long time attributing much of my autistic behavior to 'severe adhd' when it was pretty clearly like #autistic emotional regulation issues compounded a bit by adhd. lol. so i get her #i also don't think its impossible that she does have add/adhd in addition to autism and i dont want to be like adhd is the Wrong reading #but like. she's got a bit more going on!#it makes me madddd she could have been explicitly autistic AND the love interest. it wouldn't have changed anything!#i even think it would have made the show more impactful to have jeremy look up to and admire this autistic girl while trying to change #himself and his own [undesirable] behaviors. having the squip tell him that things he's doing to connect with christine on her level #are wrong and will cause him to fail and the way the squip itself is a mask and masking behavior and christine is the opposite. aughhhhh #yeah. sigh #be more chill #thank you again for the addition :)#* using adhd instead of add in this post bc add is a defunct diagnosis

lautity horror movies... bc steph thinks they'll freak grace out but she actually just critiques the like dismemberment and gore sfx and isnt phased or scared at all by the horror parts . and steph, despite suggesting them, Does get jumpscared anyways every time. and grace is always like 0///0 about steph clinging to her or hiding her face in grace's shoulder/etc

#i think steph would really like movies #i think for her its like movies/music (in different contexts) > tv > anything else #shes got a crazy letterboxd list or whatever #holyphone #lautity #scraps #sorry.in my drafts rn hashtag my drafts

#i know she has ''a touch of ADD' but i dont like that phrasing nor do i think it covers what she has going on #i think bmc honestly could have been an earnest story about masking and conformity in autistic people. like jeremy and michael too...#even some of the 'popular' people could have been folded into this i think. but no. sad!#i also dont think bmc is very good. to be clear. i just listened to it at work again this week #edit: just to add i don't think its super bad either i just find its plot pretty mid #and of the core popular musicals from 2016-2018 ish era it definitely has the least interesting music to me #be more chill #scraps

i’m a firm believer that one of the tragedies of npmd is the implied friendship between steph and max.

like, steph starts the show being completely unaware that max terrorizes the nerds to the point where they’re terrified of him. she needs to hear it from three different ppl and see pete’s black eye to believe it.

and then she does and gets fired up on their behalf but it doesn’t even occur to her to talk to him about it.

the prank happens, max sees her, and even though he thinks he’s about to literally fight the undead, he still tries to protect her and get her out of the haunted house. only for her to pull back and tell him it’s a prank.

and when he says “i thought you all hated me” he doesn’t say “except you, steph”— he includes her.

and then he dies and she’s just another nerdy prude to hunt down. but like.

i can’t help imagine 7th grade steph and max. they’re both popular kids, but max isn’t a terror yet. all their friends seem to have perfect families except them. do you think they talked about not understanding why their dads didn’t love them? do you think they ever cried into each other’s shoulders under the bleachers, talking about the pressure and loneliness they felt?

and at what point do you think max stopped letting himself turn to steph? at what point do you think he started pushing her away, hiding his tears, and telling her that “only cucks and beta males cry”? how long was it before steph gave up on him and started acting like nothing bothered her either?

i wonder if steph ever thought about that version of max when he was hunting down her friends. i wonder if she ever looked at the hulking, undead monster who killed richie and ruth and saw the middle schooler who taught her how to throw a football and told her they’d make their own family.

#steph max friendship is so important to me thank youuu #i feel very strongly about her comfortable compliance with his reign of terror and her surely intentional ignorance of it #ough. good good post op
