Anyone else autistic/AuDH and heavily relating to Demetrius/Damian's brother rn?
The whole thing of struggling to connect with your feelings, thinking with logic first instead of feeling the emotions, asking about things he doesn't know because he wants to know and understand, despite struggling to do so. And trying to use your own experiences as a guideline as to how you should act in certain situations (ie. Huggging and trying to pat Damian on his back to comfort him), or thinking something doesn't make sense for him to do so he won't do it (but if it's explained well enough that it does make more sense, he'll at least give it a try).
Like ofc there has to be trauma involved and I really don't want to stereotype these kinds of characters/characters with these characteristics a certain way, but man I can't help but relate to Demi a lot rn. It's also the whole "older sibling who isn't close with their younger sibling(s) and they don't really understand each other" that hits close to home for me personally. Ough. Just curious if anyone else cared/noticed the same thing (￣∇￣")
