I am autistic myself :)

Asdflkj this has made me so happy! As an autie myself I really ought to have some proper canonically autistic clan members.

Im autistic so now I am questioning if my lore makes my dregs come off as neurodivergent cause I can't tell. I was diagnosed young, so yeah. Idk how normal people think

Update on lore: I think I'ma make my boi Farrow cannonly autistic. He's a doctor in the Scarred Wasteland. However, he is a [i]plant[/i] doctor. He can talk for hours about plants and what their needs are, and what you can do that helps the plant come out 10x stronger (as plague docs do). Even though he is strange, nobody dares to comment on it, as Swiftshot will literally destroy you as he's her second charge; her first being the Caravan of the Infected Voyagers (the clan). She won't let [i]anything[/i] happen to her adopted son! [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/67689965][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/676900/67689965_350.png[/img][/url]

omg omg omg obelisk time [quote=obelisks]- Instead of being overexcitable when presented with ways to help their new den, they hide away and curl up - If first generation, they feel a strong disconnect to names and the Earthshaker's positivity, and either remain nameless or adopt a random name without connection to feelings or their deity - As apposed to being statuesque, autistic Obelisks are overly animated, unable to sit still and remain calm in sight of something interesting, which ostracises them from other Obelisks - Common stims include rocking (pun not intended), wiggling their toes, brushing their mane, and shaking their head for extended periods of time[/quote] i may or may not have just self projected on my second favourite breed, even with the name thing, worshipping a deity, reclusiveness...

sorry for the double post but here's some more for unmentioned breeds [quote=Aethers]- Due to their vision being so wide and good, it may overwhelm some Aethers, making them curl up with their paws over their eyes to calm down - A very, very strong connection to nesting in Arcane and refusal to move into any other Flight's lair, if forced to move, they fall into a reclusive, nonverbal depression for a very long time - Either never stops reading or never reads - Common stims include playing with/brushing their fur, finding/hoarding anything pink and sparkly and staring at it, and grinding their teeth (which sometimes causes them to be hurt)[/quote] [quote=Veilspun]- Autistic Veilspuns often can't find they rhythm with their Flight's patterns, which makes them feel guilty and hide away - Needs wide open lairs, without they'll go into a state of panic - Some are compelled to fight, often without reason and attack for no reason, although often losing, especially if against other dragon breeds except Faes due to their size - Common stims are playing with/styling their mane, digging in soft dirt with their horns, and pacing[/quote] [quote=Banescales]- Tries to craft as their ancestors did, when (almost always) unsuccessful, they sulk and hide away - Bright colours overstimulate autistic Banescales, making it hard for them to fit in with other dragons, especially Coatls - Struggle with battle, they tend to flee instead of face their opponent in the arena, they'd much rather try to talk it out or give peace offerings - They never abandon their dens, however if left untouched for a while and flowers begin to grow, they play in the greenery, sad that plants make them sick (they'd love to eat them) - Common stims are banging their head into the ground, sliding around on their bellies pushed by their hind legs like a bird, and eating ice[/quote]
