I'm immediately accepting the Baldwin headcanon and nobody can stop me
All of these ideas are sosososo good!!!
Definitely gonna share this with some friends of mine! (if that's okay with you, of course.)

Dude, this is super cool! I’m totally going to use some of this in my lair.
And I also have an autistic brother irl, so I like the headcanon of Baldwin being autistic as well.

This made me realize my favorite dragon is possibly Autistic. He's a fae and his face and voice are a normal level of expressive for other breeds, which is uncomfortably extreme for other faes (he's shunned by his own kind for it). He slides under the radar a lot because he "fits in" with most dragons, and his OCD with fixing things comes in handy, so people can forgive his tinkering.

Been a while since I've responded to this thread, hi, all! The support makes me feel really happy!

@AngelicTofu - Thank you! I'm honored that you want to share these with your friends, go ahead! :D

@Theron - That's really cool! I really like Faes who are more expressive than others, despite how they might be treated by their peers because of it. Dragons with OCD are also great, I've got a dragon who has that, too!

I have a couple of ideas for Banescales & some updates on some more overall symptoms, but I've been a bit burnt out on FR lately, so I dunno when I'll have the time/energy to do that, but it's on my to-do list, for anyone who's curious!

I had my own thought on tundras. Some might have excellent memories and are capable of remembering names and faces in order to avoid having to deal with scents. I work with students who are on the spectrum, and I had a young man a few years ago that at the beginning of every school year would re-familiarize himself with teachers and students he hadn't seen since June by going through a process of "Ms./Mr. Name who likes X" (mine was always Supernatural). I can also see swaying back and forth or side to side as a common stim for species that sit still, as well as waving a leg, or even sitting on their haunches to wave both front legs.

@Limey

Oh, those are some fantastic additions! I tend to remember who's who based on their interests, too, since I'm faceblind, hah! Do you mind if I add your ideas onto the post? With full credit, of course!

@niceworld
Absolutely, I'd be happy if you did!

Might use this in my lore, pinging myself so I don't forget about it!
@sleepyboi

I love this!! Thank you for making it! I'm autistic myself and I don't know why it never occurred to me to make neurodivergent dragons but I'm definitely going to try now :D

this is really cool!
