Happy disability pride month here are my disability headcanons
- the Conagher name is a big name in prosthetic appendage design and mobility aids in their area. They’re on the cutting edge of technology, offering cheap advancements in prosthetics that most people in their home town would never be able to access otherwise. Farmer neighbors who have lost hands to accidents and who had to make do with homemade prosthetics have their jobs made a lot easier through these new electronic prosthetic designs.
- Sniper, Heavy, and Miss Pauling are autistic and although it affects them in different ways they share a special interest in guns. Once a year, if they can tolerate being crammed in the vehicle together for hours, they all go pile in a truck and visit a gun show. They stay til closing, infodumping about guns the entire time, and on the way back to the base they stop at McDonald’s. It’s the highlight of their year.
- Demoman wants to start training a seeing eye dog for when he inevitably loses his other eye (I drew a whole concept art for this and gave him doggies, it’s buried in my tumblr, I can’t stop thinking about it)
- Scout is dyslexic (that’s less of a headcanon and more of a canon)
- Sniper has Ehlers-Danlos with chronic pain. He’s had significant pain since adolescence. Running around and standing for long periods puts strain on his joints, so he’s more comfortable if he’s able to stay in one spot. This is why he loves this line of work, he can do what he does best with guns while adapting to his limits. His skin also scars and bruises easily.
FUCK YEAH HAPPY DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH
