Hunk is Autistic: The Infinite List of Reasons
- black-and-white thinking
- Emotions are either 0 or 100 there is no in between.
- Hyperempathy
- Doesn’t understand the concept of personal space
- Has a hypersensitive sense of balans (accounting for his motion sickness)
- Math Genius™
- Processes information differently from the other characters in the show
- Constant need to point out the obvious
- Talks out loud constantly, probably to process information easier.
- Focuses on unusual things (example: the castle is going insane and he focuses on the fact that he just got attacked by food)
- Likens a base that folds space and time to a calzone (very similar to how I liken real people to characters from books in order to understand them better)
- Weird metaphors in general
- Hyperfocused interest in cooking and (probably) mechanics.
- Cooking and mechanics are also interests that require very logical thinking and are easy to follow and understand because the follow a certain logic to the letter. These kinds of interests tend to be appealing towards autistic people.
- Always wants very clear instructions
- Is extremely honest
- He does this thing where he pulls his arms up tight against his body which is kind of similar to the raptor hands, but is definitely a stim whether it’s that specific one or not.
- Panics very easily, especially when things aren’t going according to plan (need for routine)
