crazystimcat: I’m starting a new, digital collectable card series, themed “Autistic Action Heroes”, where I will introduce a hero and name the displayed in-story traits that generally fit them on the autism spectrum. The first card is Newt Scamander from ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’. Newt shows that they are autistic by: * Avoiding eye contact * Having difficulty understanding social cues * Being too blunt/honest * Running away from social events * Feeling really uncomfortable with new people * Having difficulty relating to other people* Feeling really uncomfortable in new environments * Engaging in a passionately focused, all-consuming, special interest * Having great difficulty expressing emotions * Being openly accepting of people of all characteristics and walks of lifeNewt is officially confirmed to be autistic by Eddie Redmayne, and by J.K. Rowling [indirectly]. Feel free to add your own comments and observations. -- source link
