Me: stop making autistic characters the aliens/robots/other weirdo outsiders that are clearly different to everyone else

Also me, every time one of those character types are CLEARLY autistic in nature and it works so well: dammit https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ™‡đŸ»â€â™‚ïž" title="Mann verbeugt sich tief (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Mann verbeugt sich tief (heller Hautton)">

Also let’s talk about how stanley is VERY FLAPPY when happy, also twiddly fingers, also gives you things that don’t seem relevant, also very excited by the world, and and and when they DO hug it is the best damn hug and very enthusiastic because it matters ok https://twitter.com/cherryrae/status/1299535908576796673">https://twitter.com/cherryrae...

RIP my guesthouse but honestly i should not have expected anything else when they said that omg
alright I’m threading so it’s my stanley master thread (videos from PS4)

SO THEY PAPERED THE WINDOWS & HAVE A SPECIAL DOOR

also “it’s the soft kind!”
AND EXCITE abt BIRDS but also maybe confused

I can no longer hug stanley but that’s ok they’re clearly too busy

Whoops I have some threading to do!

stanley loves EVERYTHING literally the whole world is exciting and interesting

except for the entirety of fruit but it’s p normal for autistic people to hate a whole category of food so this is to be expected

ok ok ok ok ok ok stanley’s room is CLEARLY a sensory play room so at this point there’s just no arguing it how is this kid not autistic COME ON

I love them so so so so much

also also they see patterns and systems no one else does

stanley is WAY up there with accidental autistic representation with Hilda (from netflix/comics) and Futaba from persona 5 so

it’s going to be really hard to say goodbye to this little one

I CANNOT BELIEVE I GREW THEM FROM A SEED I FISHED OUT OF THE OCEAN

I’m plopping the original posts from when stanley joined me in this thread so that the record can be complete because seriously come onnnnn how is this the most perfect autistic representation Idek don’t ask me https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht"> https://twitter.com/cherryrae/status/1299534950983557120">https://twitter.com/cherryrae...
Here we go a couple more to thread in

UGH TWIDDLY FINGERS https://twitter.com/cherryrae/status/1299535908576796673">https://twitter.com/cherryrae...
Likes to give people things that seem useless to them https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">

(who knows stanley probably also doesn’t understand their brain and that’s ok) https://twitter.com/cherryrae/status/1299536556546338816">https://twitter.com/cherryrae...
and very important early stanley is autistic discovery?!? likes breakfast and will literally eat it all day for every meal it’s fine they LIKE IT THAT WAY ok

(breakfast food is the only food I would ever eat for every meal and I would be a-ok with that and in fact can i?) https://twitter.com/cherryrae/status/1299539208135045121">https://twitter.com/cherryrae...
also I DID NOT REALIZE but when stanley revealed their room it was the first time they called Stella by her actual name and ARGH MY HEART

stanley was finally comfortable in the world and surrounded by sensory goodness and THEN THEY CAN DO THE SOCIALS

ahhhhhhhh excuse me but aa
