#autistic!nico

[unreliable-trash]

The search for solangelo and/or soldezangelo fanfics resumes!

This time it’s a bit more specific though

I’m primarily looking for autistic (will or nico or leo), trans (will or nico or leo), and AUs in general, although the first two are more prominent in my mind

autistic!Nico

i have many Thoughts and ur gonna hear them whether or not you want to (and before anyone gets pissy, yes, I’m autistic and i’m not IDing out of my ability)

this is probs gonna be very disorganized bc i have no actual train of thought

Mythomagic was Nico’s S.I. for a long time

he got really fucking good at it too

the aviator jacket is a weight/pressure stim

his people skills are “rusty” because how was he supposed to know that no one wanted to know that.  its not like anyone told him

McDonald’s Happy Meals are a food hyperfixation

particularly the nuggets

prefers the shadows because why is the light so damn bright

cracks to the Underworld happen when he has a meltdown

is quiet a lot because he goes nonverbal

sensory overloads and backs away/straight up leaves

growing up he always knew that the other kids were different from him

they bullied him and picked on him because of this

separated himself from kids his age, only really connecting with Bianca

becomes distressed when Percy comes and turns his life upside down

“this isn’t how it’s always been, Bianca...”

“i know, but you can get through this.  I’m right here.”

cannot handle it when Bianca dies

she was the only thing that was still constant in the shifting of his life

years later Percy approaches Annabeth with concerns about how distant Nico always is

Annabeth watches and observes Nico and puts the pieces together

eventually she decides to talk to Nico about it, without being obvious about it

she explains it gently

Nico gets angry and storms off

eventually he calms down and starts to do research of his own

“...not like i sleep anyway...”

when he begins to research he starts to understand more about himself

“wait...that’s why I feel like that?”

eventually he becomes more confident in this fact about himself and talks to the group

“hey, can you guys maybe tone down....everything around me?  it hurts my head”

everyone is rly supportive and try their best to be gentle around nico

leo starts focusing on inventing new stim objects just for Nico

neither of them say anything about it, but nico will make small doodles of various things he knows that leo likes in payment

nico is touch averse until he is very comfortable

it took 3 months of dating will before he’d allow will to touch him

he wears similar outfits because he cant stand the feeling of most fabrics

sensory hell

will gives nico various tips and tools to help him when he starts to feel overloaded

“focus on something that’s stable, count backwards from 100,...”

and that’s...it for now

I’m 100% sure someone has already done this but fuck it here we go

LISTEN AUTISTIC NICO IS NOW MY LIFE. SOMEONE PUT HEADCANONS OF THAT AND ID LIKE TO ADD A BIT. LIKE, HE EITHER WEARS BAGGY CLOTHES OR SKINTIGHT ONES BECAUSE SENSORY ISSUES, AND THEY ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY HAVE TO BE LONG SLEEVED. SHIRTS, JEANS, ONLY LONG SLEEVES, NO MATTER WHAT THE FUCKIGN TEMPERATURE IS. WHEN HE EATS ITS EITHER TINY BITES TO MAKE SURE HE GOT THE EVEN NUMBER RIGHT, OR JUST FUCKGIN SWALLOWS IT WHOLE AND IT GIVES EVERYONE A HEART ATTACK BUT ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1. Nico got a fuckin heatstroke once from wearing all black skin tight  clothes in the middle of july

2. Nico once swallowed an entire hotdog whole and hazel nearly had a stroke she thought he would choke. Percy and Leo made dick jokes about it for months

autistic nico hc: sometimes the bby has days where communication is just really difficult, and when he was younger and in the underworld, he found this one HoH spirit who always used sign language (even tho they can talk in a spirity way they still used it) and they taught it to nico and then whenever nico has a like that he'll go 'talk' to that spirit and it really helps him express what he's feeling and one day nico meets a HoH demigod at chb and they are BFFs™ and shit talk EVERYONE in asl

percy struggles to learn asl just to know when Nico is ROASTING his ass but he’s rlly bad at it

[apollomuttttttt-blog]

So I majorly headcannon Nico as being autistic, and I was curious if anyone else shared this?
