it seems to me like everyone knows

like they were given instructions

instructions on how to interact and be

but for some reason I was left

left without the instructions

but still expected to follow

[rorytelling]

Autistic people: "hey, please stop using high and low functioning labels. They're offensive and inaccurate."

Some Karen-ass NT mom: "ummm but I hate how annoying my autistic daughter is, so obviously she's lower functioning than her autistic cousin who spends all her emotional energy on appearing allistic due to years of mistreatment :)"

Hey autistic tumblr. How do I get over the post-social anxiety where you realize afterwards you didn’t make enough eye contact and now you fear you came across as really rude?

[rorytelling]

Y'all be like "support autistic people with weird/annoying special interests!" And then turn around and complain about Disney adults

[breathes in] so, uh. I headcanon scp-076 and 073 to be on the autistic spectrum, and... I mean, i'm pretty sure I myself /am/ on the spectrum myself... so really my question is: is my headcanon ok? because im kind of scared that because of 076 in general, I might accidentally be reflecting autistic people in a bad light? im sorry im just worried

I read the first sentence and I was like “yes good I like this”, so jot that down as an accepted headcanon.

As for the question itself... I am not officially diagnosed, but I also suspect I’m autistic so I may be speaking out of my ass (and even if I wasn’t I’m just one autspec, I don’t speak for everyone). But, that being said. Short answer: yes, your headcanon is okay. It’s a good headcanon and you’re okay. *pats your head* 

Long answer: The moral alignments of these two are very confusing, muddled and “gray”. You can say that Cain is evil because he’s the first murderer and got cursed for it, but that was millenias ago. His article literally says that he tries to be helpful and implies (if not outright says, I forget) that he’s a pacifist. Sure, he did bad things in the past but he’s spent thousands of years atoning and suffering for it. Wouldn’t it be time to like, give him a chance?

One could argue that Able is an easier example because he’s now... that. But I feel like he’s more of a chaotic neutral in the alignment chart. But I also feel like Able is not... mentally okay? Like I think his mind can’t handle immortality and he’s “broken” because of it. The Able we see in Omega 7 and such is not the same Able Cain killed with a rock.

If you even believe that the two are the same people from The Bible, that is.

I lost my train of thought. What were we talking about again? Is it okay to headcanon Cain and Able as autistic or would it reflect autistic people in bad light? Was that it?

I’d say yes, it is okay and no, it would not.
