I hope you don’t mind my saying this but as an undiagnosed (but very very sure) Autistic person, I very much read Slatepaw as autistic. I relate to her very heavily, she is my comfort character as she reminds me so much of myself in some ways. I just love Slatepaw. I hope my rambling doesn’t bother you as I think I keep saying the same thing just worded differently.
Your rambling doesn't upset me at all! I love when people gesture vaguely at my art, it tells me they really enjoyed it. If you're worried about clogging my asks, try heading over to the clangenrising community tab! That's a great place to just gush with other fans or share headcanons. I'm there too and I'll comment if I can say anything without spoilers.
And I've heard that before, Slatepaw reads as autistic to a bunch of people and although it wasn't my original intention, I do think it fits and have started writing her that way.
