shadow autistic headcanons are so funny to me because he would not know nor would it even occur to him that's what's going on. i'm not even sure he'd know what autism is.
like i can imagine tails for example going like "i'll stress test this prototype tomorrow. i don't really have the spoons for it right now."
but if shadow were put in a similar situation he'd go like "what...? my strength is leaving me! could it be...? is this a side effect of my black arms dna?? or maybe someone is siphoning my energy for their own purposes!"
