“Spock is autistic” headcanons are broke. You know what’s woke? “Amanda Grayson is autistic” headcanons.

Dig this, Amanda grows up on Earth, on another wavelength than her fellow humans, and people think she’s weird. Nice but weird. People don’t quite get her humor, she gestures a lot when she’s teaching. She’s accustomed to having a weird relationship with her feelings and everyone else’s around her.

Then she meet this stoic, emotionally stunted guy who to most humans, his every actions screams antisocial so they steer clear of him but Amanda doesn’t pick up those vibes, so she just inserts herself in his life, makes herself his friend, and Sarek is...oddly charmed by it.

Then when Amanda moves to Vulcan after marrying Sarek, everyone there turns their nose up at her, and of course Amanda knows they don’t like her, she’s not an idiot, but hey she’s used to people not getting her, who gives a damn? Sarek likes her and that’s what matters. Amanda is just this cheerful force of refusing to conform to what’s “normal” because she’s awesome the way she is and she knows it.

And that’s why autistic!Amanda Grayson rules, signed, an IRL autistic person.
