OMG I'm glad they're open because I wanted to ask this last night but couldn't. Buuuut:
How would some of them react if the Home Owner was neurodivergent? Like how'd they help and stuff like that? I'm autistic and it'd be cool to see what others say, but if you're too uncomfortable with it I understand.
But if you wish to do this here's a list of my favs you can choose from {or all, I don't control your choices lol}:
Hector, Kristof, Keith, Volt/Eddie, Amir, Chance, Daisuke, and Shadowlord/Skips.
You came for the horny but you stayed for the autism.
Also, just be warned, Keith is a sociopath, but you knew that.
Hector and Keith With An Autistic Partner
Hector is completely infatuated with you regardless of anything. Any quirk you have resulting from your autism just adds to his love for you, and he’d be willing to offer any help he could.
Regularly scheduled dates in the attic. He knows a routine helps alleviate a lot of stress, so you two set up specific times to just be together. If you ever feel like talking more, he’d never say no, but he also doesn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable.
He’s a poetic man, weaving sonnets with strands of obsession, but…maybe that type of communication doesn’t always click with you. If vague phrases and metaphors do nothing but confuse you, he learns to adopt a more direct voice when he speaks to you, choose to be blunt in his wording. Blunt but not rude. When you approach him, he thinks ‘Your absence left the air here still and hollow, but joy has once again arrived like a gentle breeze’ but he says, “I missed you.” You appreciate that.
He's great at providing a quiet space when one is needed.
(I am about to PROJECT.) I’m a rocker. I am never not rocking. I’ve had people I’ve known my entire freaking life ask, “Why are you doing that?” Because??? It’s who I am as a person, excuz u. HECTOR WOULDN’T SAY A WORD. He’d think it’s adorable and he’d always have a small loving smile on his face because you’re always rocking. Not just rocking either. All stimming. Hector thinks your flappy hands are the best thing to ever exist.
If executive dysfunction is a problem, he’d be meeting you at different vents around the house giving quiet reminders to eat, take a sip of water, take a nice bath. Take care of yourself for him.
Keith helps but not out of love or care, frankly. We know how he is. If he’s helping you, its because he wants something from you. It might be more of a power and control thing for him, just feeling as if he has someone who relies on him more than anything else.
He’d learn what your triggers are, what overwhelms you, what calms you, what confuses you, what you understand to a scary extent. And he uses that knowledge to help you navigate certain situations better. If nonverbalism is something you struggle with, he will learn how to ‘translate’ to others. If you’re verbal but maybe on the quieter side or socially awkward, he’ll help you connect your thoughts smoothly or iron out anything you’ve said that could be taken the wrong way by the other party. “Don’t worry, I explained what you meant!” with that million-dollar smile. He’d be trying to make himself indispensable to you. He’d probably slowly throw in small comments or jokes to subtly make you believe you wouldn’t be able to have social interactions without him by your side anymore. “Haha, that could’ve gone poorly! What would you ever do without me, dear?”
He'd be the type to help you with functioning and staying organized if you needed it. His desire for control would have him wanting to keep you on a regular schedule, not for your sake, not because the regulation provided much needed stability for you, but because he wanted to know where you were and what you were doing for his own peace of mind.
If you were overwhelmed by questions, choices, decision-making, that’s okay. He’s happy to provide you a small set of options to reduce the anxiety, but he’d only give options he’d WANT you to choose or leading options, of course.
If you get too overwhelmed and panic or meltdown, he’s calm. His first step is quickly identifying what caused the meltdown and note your specific reaction for future use, you never know when that information might be useful. His next step would be to remove you from the situation and get you somewhere you could calm down. He always has what you need to help diffuse the situation, from headphones to stim toys, depending on what he’s learned about you. Once the panic has ended, he’d be reminding you, “It’s such a good thing I was here. I’ll always take care of you.”
