Gareth Emerson Dating an Autistic! ADHD! or AuDHD! Reader Would Include...
Am back with another Gareth post, because I have no chill when it comes to Gwydion Lashlee-Walton. Hope someone out there will enjoy!
Thinks your physical and vocal stims are adorable. He loves to see you genuinely excited!
Shared ADHD, and therefore, shared vocal stims.
Making sure the other remembers to take their Adderall. (With a varying success rate lol)
Shared info-dumping about interests and hobbies.
Listening to songs until they don't sound like dopamine anymore.
Keeps a set of headphones in his car, backpack, and locker for when you attend concerts, or go anywhere “busy” together.
The best emotional support teddy bear.
Super in tune with what you need during a meltdown/overwhelm/burnout. Always wants to make sure you have what you need.
Will never hesitate to confront anyone who dares to make fun of your Autistic/ADHD traits.
Making up silly songs about mundane things together.
If you wear makeup, he lets you practice your application techniques on him. It makes him feel so... bonita.
Road trips out the ass. (featuring Hellfire Club)
Camping trips.
Always gifting each other cool, little trinkets.
Stargazing, and just enjoying the quiet of the night—Gareth is a major space and constellation dork.
Going on dates to the creek, to find cool-looking rocks and minerals.
Would never shame you, or make fun of you, for having a meltdown, or other difficulties.
Making sure the other remembers to eat and hydrate.
Loves that you are unapologetically yourself.
Hard rock and heavy metal jam sessions in his car on the way to school, and on the way home-- complete with good ol' fashioned steering wheel drumming.
Soothing your anxiety and self-doubt.
Makes it a point to ask you about your special interests and hyperfixations often.
Just two happy-yappy dorks tbh, and it is honestly the sweetest.
Would teach you some drumming techniques for releasing extra energy and stress, if you wanted.
A balance between dates out, and dates at home—for when y'all just need time to recharge.
Occasionally borrowing Hopper's rebuilt cabin for the weekend.
