The whole self love thing is good and all but some people can’t fathom being loved. They can’t imagine there being anything good about them. So they can’t simply just stop doing unhealthy things, there’s a process.

[sandersstudies]

Before self love you have to invoke self tolerance and self neutrality.

[sandersstudies]

If you can’t say “I love my body!” say “my body gets me from place to place.”

If you can’t say “I’m beautiful,” begin by shutting down the “I’m ugly” thoughts and saying “I’m a person.”

If you can’t say “I’m valuable” begun by shutting down the “I’m worthless” thoughts and say “all people deserve basic respect, and I’m a person.”

If you can’t say “I’m important,” or “I’m kind” say “I am the one who waters my plant every week” or “I am the one who tips the kind barista down the street” or “I am the one who makes sure my dog does not eat plastic” or “I am the one who leaves long comments on people’s fan fictions.”

I’ve genuinely never seen a way to bridge the gap, especially body-wise. There’s loads about self-confidence and loving your body EVERYWHERE, but no one really explains how to get there. It’s great to have the former, but I’m glad this info is out there.

Izuku Midoriya is autistic: a masterpost

I know as an autistic person, I find a lot of comfort in Izuku—he’s a character that really resonates with me because he exhibits a lot of autistic behaviors! Obviously anyone can headcanon any character as autistic regardless of canon because #dowhatyouwant but here’s some of the behaviors that Izuku does that read as autistic!

Some of these behaviors were referenced from this list: http://slimeandsensitive.tumblr.com/post/155772259419/not-so-commonly-talked-aboutatypical-autism

If you have more suggestions for me to add, just let me know!

Your Fave is Autistic: 

Izuku Midoriya from Boku No Hero Academia 

[blossomoranges]

midoriya izuku is autistic, i DO make the rules

his special interest: heroes! He’s compiled volumes upon volumes of notes, and collects a lot of All Might memorobilia

externalises all his analytical observations through mumbling to himself. A lot of autistic people (including myself) have stated that they talk to themselves regularly to sort out their thoughts

hyper-empathy!!! cries a lot when overwhelmed with emotion

please feel free to add any other autistic Izuku headcanons to this! I relate to this boy and I hope other people do too

BNHA Autistic Headcanons!

This will be a very long post! But I wanted to make this because @/silverartist was really nice and encouraging. I’m not vey far into the series, so I might add to this later on!

Midoriya Izuku

- Hero Special Interest/Subcategory: All Might special interest

- INFODUMP ANYTIME SOMEONE MENTIONS A HERO

(gif credit to @/komaedas)

- Meltdowns where he hits himself and cries(All Might is huge help during these, more on this later.)

- Stims include: rocking, working out, muttering, watching heros

- Hyper-empathy!

- Good! With! Patterns!

- Bad with unexpected touches

- Strong sense of right vs wrong, bad with the grey areas

- Awkward in social situations!

- Clothing is often mismatched or worn wrong

- Talking to himself helps to organize his thoughts

Iida Tenya

- Stimming with his hand/arm movements when talking!

- Stims include: Hand movement, cleaning, organizing everything

- If he has your number, he knows everything that the phone has a slot for (address, business, email, etc.)

- Uses his engines to gtfo after class to avoid the crowds

- Takes everything very literally

- Actually adores hugs and physical affection, but you gotta ask!

- ROUTINE! He shuts down if his routine is thrown off very suddenly, but he’s quick to recover, especially if his friends help him!

- Strong morals, never wavering

- ZERO volume control from this boy

- Jitters when excited. Kinda like when you sit on an ATV or something and your just kinda…vibrate throughout your entire body?

- Organization is the key to success. If you screw with his system, he will fight you!

- “Are you a robot?” Literally a question I’ve heard at least once a week since I started kindergarten.

- Formal language!

- Often goes nonverbal, and everyone in 1-A learned sign language for those days.

U.A./The Teachers

- U.A students are very supportive and accepting of autism!

- All the teachers know sign language

- Aizawa erases a bully’s quirk if he finds them harassing his kids. He terrifies the bullies to their very core.

- All Might helps autistic kids through their meltdowns either by taking them to their safe place, somewhere quiet, or (if they want it) hugging them and saying words of comfort. His hugs are also great for pressure stims!

- All Might helps Deku in particular, as the poor boy grew up with self harming meltdowns. Of course, Mama Midoriya managed to change the harmful stims, but couldn’t change the meltdowns. All Might, however, is an extremely calming presence to Deku, and uses his muscle form to wrap Deku in a big hug and rock him while he calms down. Deku will eventually stop crying and screaming, quicker than usual because of All Might, but he takes a long time to recover. Toshinori will carry Deku home and tuck him into his safe place with an All Might figurine and a security blanket.

autistic todoiideku headcanons

todoroki’s very sensitive to certain textures and tastes. it’s why he eats soba all the time & he prefers his clothes to be made of certain materials (like wool or cotton). wool sweaters make him the happiest boi; he will wear them in deadass 35*C weather (of course, he can regulate his own body temp so it’s fine)

todoroki also gets stressed out by change. it’s not that he can’t handle change, it takes him a while to get used to it. it’s a big reason why he completely renovated his dorm room into a washitsu (japanese style room) - it’s what he’s used to 

loud noises very much freak midoriya out. for the longest time though, he thought everyone got anxious about loud noises, and didn’t realize there was anything abnormal about his own levels of anxiety

but at the same time, absolute silence makes him nervous as well

iida is generally fine with sounds and whatnot (and often has little control over his own volume), but he is very particular about cleanliness. certain things like wrinkled clothes, soap/grime buildup, dusty surfaces, ect stress him out really bad. the absolute worst are smudged up glasses. (tbh, there’s a reason the boy has 50 million pairs of glasses)

midoriya is obsessed with fidget toys. he likes them both for the stimming and the nice, soft clicky noises they make. after he was introduced to them, he started collecting them and now usually has a fidget pen or fidget cube in his pocket at all times. or two. or three just in case 

iida doesn’t own any fidget toys, but midoriya will loan his own when iida gets super stressed out (since it gives iida a distraction or something to do when he doesn’t feel like opening up). other than that, iida doesn’t have much use for fidget toys since his stimming is so full bodied 

todoroki’s emotions are either 0 or 100, there is literally no in between

(of course, it’s only easier to handle his quirk when he’s not all ‘sorry, i was just a bit pissed off,’ like, it’s okay child, you can admit that you were a little more than just ‘a bit’)

he also doesn’t understand proper context for sharing his tragic backstory. he has literally told old ladies in line at the grocery store about his relationship with his mom or how much he hates his dad

while everyone knows that midoriya is an infodumper, people aren’t usually as acquainted with iida’s passions. but get him on the right subject, and he can talk for hours

of course, todoroki loves it when midoriya or iida infodump, he thinks their energy is super endearing

how to stop endlessly analyzing your own behavior as if you were a scientific experiment

[fidgetcubist]

Growing up autistic often involves not being believed. Your experiences of being tired, stressed, and overwhelmed are constantly minimized. “How could you be tired? You haven’t done anything all day.” “How could you be stressed? You’re eight.” “Look at the other children, how much fun they’re having. If we go home now you’ll miss out on all the fun!” If you find certain tasks particularly challenging, you are told it really isn’t that hard, you just have to [brief and unhelpful description of task].

There are no upsides to denying or minimizing someone’s pain, except that it frees the person doing the minimizing from having to deal with it. Even if the child is “only doing it for attention”, worst case scenario they give their child attention. What’s so terrible about that? Because the alternative is that they are teaching their child not to value and trust their own experience, and that is immensely damaging. It can mean the child might not recognize when they’re being emotionally abused. It can lead to mental health issues, burnout, and many other problems.

Not everyone responds to a given situation in the same way. If someone tells you something bothers them, just because you’re not bothered by it doesn’t mean they’re lying or exaggerating.
