AUTISTIC MICKEY HEADCANONS????

AUTISTIC MICKEY HEADCANONS????

OF COURSE!! most of these have to do with unique sensory/stimming outlets, but i think they fit well.

likes spicy foods for the *sensory experience*

never really figured out the whole stimming thing, sometimes when he's excited he will grab ian by the shoulders and shake him. lovingly ofc

bite stim. he bites/chews on things he definitely shouldn't. ian tries to supply chews and even baby teethers at one point but none of it works! mickey bites ian's hands i think, affectionately

he also probably screams/yells really loud even if it's all positive feelings. Ian is like "are you good" and the answer is "yes! look at this thing"

ian lays on top of them when they cuddle bc pressure. maybe mickey gets a weighted blanket eventually but he only uses it when ian is nowhere near and cant lay on him

I think mickey likes play fighting/wrestling as like, a sensory thing? like partner stimming but slightly violent

he doesn't even realize that the reason he's a little bit jumpy/defensive/stressed after going out is bc of sensory overload. he discovers soundproof headphones and it's just great for him

he wears them a lot, and ian will just go on and on talking to him before realizing that he hasn't heard a word

infodumps about really dark shit. like weapons and crime, he just knows a lot about it all. it's a little concerning but ian nods along

vocal stims are the most random shit obviously, mostly bits from songs. ian will sing with him like that one scene from s11

idk what it's called but the whole thing where someone gives someone a cool rock they found as a present? he does that. it's all very much random knick-knacks, but he'll give ian rocks, pieces of colorful glass, bottle caps, can tabs, marbles etc. ian has no idea where he acquires the objects from but he has a glass dish for them

okay that's all for now! i might steal some of these for my fic tbh, because i think they're really good. feel free to add on in the reblogs!
