I firmly believe that part of why Will was so drawn to Hannibal was because Hannibal saw him as an equal. All of his life, he had been deemed strange or even somehow less because of the deep-rooted ableism that most people had. Society is made up of intricate games of courtesy and power and subtle innuendos, after all, and Will couldn't quite figure out how to play. Hannibal uses this against him, yes, but never does he underestimate Will because of it. He still views Will as a worthy opponent, as a force to be reckoned with. And for Will, who has spent his lifetime being treated as fragile, being looked down on, degraded as a tool, that's one hell of a thing.

growing up undiagnosed autistic is like 'huh. i wonder why i feel almost like an alien compared to everyone else and why i have this feeling that i'm fundamentally different from everyone else in a way that i can't really comprehend. how peculiar that it feels like everyone just gets these things i cant possibly wrap my head around. its awfully strange how despite also being mocked and ridiculed for being different, people will also tell me that i'm overthinking and i'm just 'normal like everyone else''. and then time passes and then you have The Realization.

All neurodivergent people listen
Selfcare is terribly complicated but I have a solution (no I don't it's just a joke and I just want to share what helps me... so of course it won't help everyone)
I'd say this is a bathroom edition
A toothbrush as your hyperfixation (like those kid car/princess toothbrushes)
Smelly shower gel (today I got a raspberry one and I thought that I'll shower ten times a day)
Bubble bath
Turn off the light when you shower/bath(or just low-intensity light (I use candles)
Plastic children's toys (rubber ducks) if you need to be in the bath for a long time
Have a treat afterwards:3
Decorate your bathroom if you can
Don't use mint toothpaste
You can buy such grease markers for tiles so you can paint in the shower
You don't have to shower every day just use deodorant or something (if you want)
Put your hyperfixation on every problem :3

if someone could write a book on how to do everything ‘normally’ with specific step by step instructions that’d be very appreciated!

Undiagnosed autistic culture is obsessing over the topic of autism, feeling validated by the incredible similarities in your own life, relating to every autistic individual in some way or another, fulfilling most if not all DSM 5 criteria on ASD, taking every autistic test you could find online all confirming you are very likely autistic...
...but still end up doubting you even have it.

Who else is with me on my theory that there is cat autism and there is dog autism.
Cat autism:
- usually introverted (exceptions can be made)
- Stare into the void and forget that you're supposed to be taking rapid notes in class
- Switching very quickly from understimulated to overstimulated
- Sleep>>>>>
- Hissing (but most of the time you have to mask it bc then people think you're weird for doing that 😃)
- "How to let someone know you appreciate them when you dont know how"
- Seen as rude and insensitive
Dog autism:
- Usually extroverted (again, exceptions can be made)
- Unintentionally loud
- "I will do anything for you fav person"
- If you give them anything even if it's a fucking gum wrapper they will cherish it for their entire life
- Blurts out thoughts
- Seen as over affectionate and emotional
BOTH:
- Just screaming/yelping as communication
- Gift giving
- DESPISE fireworks/any sudden loud noise
IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER IDEAS Y'ALL HAVE REBLOG I WANNA HEAR THEM (yes some of this is taken from one of Dannyphantom.exe's videos)
I know this because me and my other IRL autistic friend are a PRIME example of why I believe this theory
(EDIT: also I believe there are subcategories. Like black cats and orange cats, golden retrievers and huskies, etc)

Even if I don't have an ADHD or autism diagnosis, treating myself like I have both has been so freeing. I put in noise cancelling headphones when I'm overstimulated. I sit on the floor in the research lab to work because no one in there cares and I like the floor better than my desk. I cut out the tags on my shirts. I use adhd-friendly organizational tips. I let myself stim in public without feeling bad. I was always taught not to do any of that stuff in order to seem "normal" and conform. I finally gave myself permission to do things that make me feel less shitty in my day to day existence. I gave myself permission to be kind to myself.
So reminder to all the people out there like me: you don't have to wait for a diagnosis to implement things in your life that make you more comfortable.
