Autistic Queen Deltarune headcanons:
[Plain text: autistic Queen Deltarune headcanons. End plain text.]
Actually has both autism and ADHD.
Queen's hands are very sensitive to touch, and the gloves rarely come off. For them to come off, there's both good stimuli she wants to touch and she has to trust the people around her.
Only has copies of the same pair of pants.
She's that autistic person who, in order to hide from noise, will put in earphones and play her noisy and awful music at full volume.
Queen's mansion having more muted colors than the rest of the cyber world is an intentional choice. Though she's not usually bothered by bright colors, it's good to have refuge for when she is.
Queen has zero smell or taste sensitivities, has no idea what people think tastes good, and should never be allowed in the kitchen. Ever.
Can't read tone of voice or facial expressions (unless maybe she knows the other person really well), and relies entirely on context clues and her own personal bias to interpret how they feel.
Queen putting emphasis on how she's a computer in front of the lightners is actually a form of masking, as it diverts attention from "why is she so weird" to "oh she's a computer/robot that's why". This doesn't work as well when interacting with other Cyber darkners, so in front of them, she makes it seem like she's weird because she's "imitating lightners".
Queen has very little ability to tell if someone's a fake friend to her.
Queen interprets feelings through a lense of "calculating" what's "logical" to feel, including her own. This doesn't work often, and she had to realize this in canon ("You Cannot Calculate Other People's Feelings").
Queen forces fake inflection into her tone of voice in order to sound more natural. She drops this when she's alone, or sometimes when she's distressed.
When distressed, Queen can sometimes experience speech loss. She could benefit from an AAC device in these instances, but she's currently unwilling to use one.
Queen doesn't mind loudness by itself (such as one person who speaks loudly), but she does mind when it stacks. Queen can get overwhelmed and stressed out in big crowds for this reason, and she prefers to interact with only a few people at a time.
She experiences shutdowns way more often than meltdowns.
Queen doesn't actually have many friends, and she's aware of this. She's lonely, but she doesn't know how to fix it or why people don't spend much time with her.
Some mobile games are a form of stimming for Queen.
Most of Queen's stims are pretty noticable. For example, some of her happy stims include hand flapping, bouncing or kicking her legs, or jumping a bit. (How she does that last one in heels idk).
Sometimes Queen drinks to help take the edge off of sensory input. She's not aware this is why she does it in those instances, though.
Queen jumps between hyperfixations a lot, and absolutely will infodump about it.
Queen is not currently diagnosed.
