adhd sokka x autistic zuko

i really don’t know what the pushback is about. he meets the criteria to be diagnosed (as much as a fictional character realistically can) like idk what to tell you. if you wrote a character that exhibits Every Autistic Trait then you wrote an autistic character

his life is a joke

zuko: memorizes scripts for social scenarios, misses social cues, struggles with metaphors, has low cognitive empathy, mirrors azula’s behaviour, grew up without friends, takes things at face value, can’t handle change, has meltdowns men on the internet: he isn’t autistic

this is literally a depiction of sensory overload/meltdown. the scene feels frantic and their increasingly demanding voices overwhelm zuko so much that he covers his ears. he knows that he’s angry but he has difficulty understanding why (alexithymia)
