Do you have any autistic!Patton hcs you could share? ♡♡♡
okay, I’m trying my best to answer all these aut!sides asks, so let’s go!
Patton is pretty hyposensitive in terms of touch, rather than hypersensitive, which is why he's the most physically sensory seeking out of all of them. He is also, unfortunately, the clumsiest of all of them too, which has resulted more than a few times in Patton injuring himself and not even noticing. Thankfully, it's never been anything major but on occasion he has had to replace some clothes because he bled on them accidentally.
Patton is usually pretty careful about social rules. Though a lot of it doesn’t come completely naturally to him (he doesn’t understand why allistic people seem to talk in circles sometimes and why they don’t just say what they mean), he has hyper-empathy so peacekeeping often feels almost more a necessity than a desire.
He does forget himself, sometimes, if he’s distracted or particularly stressed, but he’s become really good at smoothing things over in the event that he does.
Patton has a really good short-term memory for spoken word. It shocked the others quite a bit when they first realised but Patton has the uncanny ability to just quote entire swaths of conversation, word-for-word.
Now, Patton has not always processed these conversations as actual things that have occurred and require him to respond in some sort of way—because, honestly, sometimes he’s just physically present and mentally somewhere entirely different—but assuming that he heard everything correctly he can just kind of parrot it back.
That ties into his echolalia quite a bit actually. His brain isn’t very good at filtering out other people’s discussions or background noises and he often finds himself mimicking bits of conversations he was Not a part of or asking himself questions that were directed at someone else.
People are not generally all that fond of being mimicked, he’s found, because it makes them feel like they’re being mocked, so he tries to keep his voice low in public whenever possible.
