autistic bodhi rook??

ptsddaryldixon:

  • he has disorganized speech unless he’s talking about his SI in ships
    • when he’s trying to communicate that he wants to talk to saw gerrera he’s all over the place
    • towards the end where he just blurts things out to the admiral without making sure they make sense
  • he can’t tell when people are lying/have ulterior motives
    • he didn’t pick up on why cassian wanted to stop and “look”
  • he also can’t read some more subtle nonverbal communication
    • on eadu when cassian told him to leave, bodhi didn’t understand why hence the “we came here to look” “well i’m looking by myself”
  • he’s really bad at lying
  • com transmissions are hard for him unless he as a script, when he does have a script, like the scripts it takes to be a pilot he does fine
    • when they’re leaving and he has to come up with a callsign, he keeps blanking and losing words and looking to jyn for prompting
    • but when he’s getting into scarif he does fine because he’s used to the scripts for incoming ships
  • he’s bad at controlling the volume and speed of his voice
    • towards the end when he’s transmitting to the alliance and talking really fast
    • towards the end when he’s talking really fast to the people on the ship with him
    • towards the end where he starts yelling because he doesn’t think people understand him
  • he also doesn’t always pick up on rhetorical questions
    • when jyn says something like “who’s with me?!” and no one replies, except bodhi, who says “i am!”
  • he makes noises sometimes as ways to show emotion without words. 
  • he also does a lot of gestures, like when he’s describing the master switch.
  • his goggles could totally be some kind of comfort item because he barely ever takes them off

that’s all for now!! bodhi rook is autistic and i love him. please add stuff on if you want to!!

The second best pun I’ve ever encountered in the wild was when I was walking down the street in a “hip” part of Seattle and saw a couple of Budweiser cans thrown into a bush. And I said to a random stranger walking nearby “damn, the local beer harvest is really poor this year”. And the random stranger responded “give it time, they’re only buds”.

-Beliving that none of your friends actually want to be your friend and they hate being near you
-Hating normal things because they were used to mock you
-Having to seek constant validation for your existance
-Remembering particular insults you’ve been called for years and will probably never forget them
-Beliving you’re too ugly for anyone to ever love
-Not wanting to go to a new school/further education because you know the same thing will happen there
-Having your parents tell you that you’re only being ‘teased’
-Having people wash their hands in disgust if they accidentally touch you.

Remember, you don’t have to feel all of these to understand

-Having people say you like someone as a way to gross that someone out
-Never quite trusting anyone.
-Having people ask you out as a dare
-”They’re only making fun of you ‘cause they’re jealous!”
-”He’s only mean to you ‘cause he’s got a crush on you!”
-Having to deal with bullshit ‘zero tolerance’ policies

-”hey, my friend thinks you’re cute!”

This. I dealt with almost all of this bullshit all my life and it still haunts me today…

-being unable to process genuine acceptance and compliments when you finally get them
-fear emotional intimacy will result in betrayal

-telling a teacher and all of you getting in trouble even though YOU were the one coming into the office crying and having a panic attack at the thought of going to class with these monsters

– becoming super possessive and paranoid over your belongings because of people stealing or moving your stuff around when you aren’t looking

-you have ‘germs’ or ‘cooties’ or ‘scabies’ and nobody will even touch you or anything you’ve touched

-being asked completely inappropriate questions as a joke and not knowing how to respond because your social skills are fucked up from being so socially isolated so you say something stupid and they laugh at you even more, causing a lifelong habit of ‘keeping your fucking stupid mouth shut’

-developing unhealthy friendships with people you’re incompatible with because your friend choices are so limited

-growing up with a mix of ‘amazing loyal friends’ and ‘abusive fucker friends’ and feeling equally dependent on both because they were all you had

-nice kids being bullied just for hanging out with you causing you to grow up feeling insanely guilty about it because they’re miserable and it’s ‘all your fault’

-that one game where everyone in your grade tries to ask you out with a straight face and they always end up laughing.

My only problem with this otherwise brilliant article is that the author seems to have a comprehensive knowledge of data storage principles, and absolutely zero knowledge of people and organization’s interactions with same.

I mean, if you’ve worked IT for any length of time, tell me the idea of there being one copy of the death star plans, stored as 5000 .bmp images embedded in powerpoint with accompanying animations, doesn’t make a horrible kind of sense. Or that some jackass system admin wouldn’t design a data storage center where you have to physically walk tapes up to the roof because “well actually it’s more SECURE” with no consideration for usability.

#if your fictional government IT system doesn’t make you want to cry it’s probably not realistic (via @frozencapybara)
