Oh, Spock. As always, whatever you choose to be, you will have a proud mother.

[ID: A series of images from star trek movies and of text. The first image is of text, which reads: ‘TEST COMUPTER VOICE:…Correct. How do you feel?… How do you feel? / SPOCK: I do not understand the question. AMANDA: What is it, Spock?’ The next image shows a screen that reads 'HOW DO YOU FEEL? and shows an image of tos Spock, looking slightly confused. The next image is of text and reads: SPOCK: I do not understand the question, Mother. / AMANDA: You’re half human. The computer knows that. SPOCK: The question is irrelevant.’ The next image shows Spock’s mother, Amanda, looking fondly at her son. After that, the image shows Spock, looking back at his mother. The next image is of text and reads: 'AMANDA: Spock. There’s no need to be anxious. You’ll do fine. / SPOCK: I am hardly anxious, mother. And fine has variable definitions. Fine is unacceptable.’ The next image is in grey tones and shows Spock’s mother from the new movies, smiling at Spock and then Spock from the new movies, looking down with his mother’s hand on his shoulder. The next image is of text and reads: 'SAREK: Do you have a message for your mother?’ The next image shows Sarek and Spock (from the old films) looking at one another. The last image is of text, and reads: 'SPOCK: Yes. Tell her… I feel fine.’ END ID]

I would pay actual latinum to watch Amanda Grayson verbally shred Richard Bashir into tiny insignificant pieces

quasi-normalcy:

So, on a scale of “Amanda Grayson” to “Richard Bashir”, how well did you handle your starfleet son’s learning disability?

I’m new to Star Trek but have been deeply enjoying Discovery and especially Amanda “I did the logical thing… and stole his medical file” (flagrantly breaks the law) Grayson and would truly love a series that is just

“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.
