Another thing about autistic Dean in spn. Why does everyone say Sam and Dean are Autism + ADHD?
Like, I'm sure Dean has ADHD, but like, come on people. His autistic traits are right there! He's literally a media autistic. He loves his movies and his shows and his music. He's also a car and cowboy autistic but still. Most people on this app study pieces of media for fun! Or religiously talk about them. Or make tons of cool art. The fact that more people say Sam has autism than people do aboht Dean is astounding to me.
I'm not saying Sam doesn't have autism. (Though I don't really know his traits. I guess he has low empathy, and knows random facts about random things, I can't really think of any) If anyone knows Sam's autistic traits Id love to hear them! I don't pay as much attention to Sam as I do Dean so I probably missed something.
Every time I see a post about the autism coding in Supernatural and Deans not mentioned I scream.
There is something so frustrating about autism traits being overlooked in characters because there not the 'typical' traits.
And I don't even mean that people overlook it on purpose. I just think that Cas's type of autism is so much more 'oh, it's autism'. Even nuerotypical viewers probably noticed it. However, Dean's autism coding is noticable but it also has a layer of masking and fake ultra masculinity. (Anyone ever notice how Sam is actually the one who's more traditionally masculine or is that just me?) It seems to me that because a character sometimes masks, people ignore the blatant traits.
Or they find him hot and no one can admit that the white guy that they find attractive can possibly be autistic.
Soooooooo.... Dean Winchester is autism right? Like the boy is very autistic. You can't change my mind.
