Autistic character of the day is:

Heidi from the anime of the same name (1974)

Watching a few episodes, Heidi

Does not maintain eye contact (e.g. in the scene where she first meets Fräulein Rottenmeier, to the point where R. notes it/is confused by it)

Has a public meltdown and when asked to stop bc "what would other people think" she loudly exclaims "I don't care"

Does not notice the intentions of other people, gullible (especially towards her aunt Dete)

Is described as overly clever for her age and quick to grasp things

Is also described as being unable to lie

Aunt Dete apologises for her, telling Miss Rottenmeier that Heidi always says what she thinks & thus may come of as rude, when she isn't

Has a deep connection to nature and animals

Does not like change, when removed from her usual environment she finds it hard to adjust

Bonus:

Heidi's reaction to a train (you & me both girl, suffering from sbb)

You know I came to the conclusion that American Tumblr & Twitter progressives could not handle German theatre for even a minute, y'all are too puritan for the absolute wildness that it is

You were not dragged along at the tender age of 16 with your entire school class by your very feminist German teacher to watch an installment of Faust I, where the climax of the play is viewing Mephisto's dick (yes, the actor's very own real dick) in all its glory and then later discussing the value of displaying nudity in plays. The German teacher, feminist and for the freeing of the sexual body that she is, explains the intricacies of the benefits of provocation to you and you're processing your own teenage shame with everyone in the classroom in the form of an in-depth societal analysis, all of which is a perfectly regular German class.

I'm happy to be proven wrong but I think y'all couldn't handle this

As much as I appreciate the move away from purely STEM-oriented curricula towards STEAM, I'm not enthusiastic about the German equivalent of MINKT

You know how kids cartoons gotta keep it child friendly & can't say kill and therefore need to be creative

Nothing will ever top the German dub of atla when firelord Ozai screams at the top of his lungs SAG DER WELT AUF WIEDERSEHEN with a dramatic echo while he's trying to unalive Aang in the final battle

I like Sweden’s act generally but Tusse is a really unfortunate name
