Hey I don’t care if you like the idea of autistic keith, I kinda to too but I was wondering if you could tell me how he is autistic? Symptoms that he is autistic? So that maybe I can try and understand it more (nobody is giving me a serious answer so can you please?)

rindeservedbetter-deactivated20:

• he doesn’t understand jokes or certain social norms (”Vol…tron?”)
• he sleeps in his clothes
• he loves hippos (special interest)
• he clings to a certain object as a source of comfort and identity (the knife)
• he drinks the juice in a certain way I and a lot of other autistic people drink things (it’s not tongue protrusion but it’s something similar?)
• he’s a loner and doesn’t typically get along well with other people
• “Shiro’s the only one who never gave up on me” ie Shiro is the only one who understood his needs and was tolerant of his behavior
• obsession and hyperfixation (his conspiracy wall at his shack in the desert)
• got kicked out of school due to a disciplinary issue despite being a prodigy
• he does a lot of things on a whim without thinking them through and without regard for consequences (it’s the entire thing behind how he was chosen for the Red Lion)
• “IT’S MEEEEEEEEE!! KEEEEEEEEITH!!!! YOUR I AM YOUR PALADIIIIIIIN. I’M BONDING WITH YOU!”
• touch repulsion (depends on the person though, and he is getting better at it with time)
• he tried to comfort Lance by implying he was bad at math
• “we had a bonding moment! I cradled you in my arms!” (basically “that was a very personal thing for me and that’s typically something people do when they are very close therefore I don’t understand why we’re not friends now”)
• high pain tolerance like when he was getting beat up by the Marmora guys and kept saying “no I’ll keep going”
• extremely stubborn
• I could go on and on
