it’s kind of amusing that p much all my favourite characters are some mixture of agender asexual and mildly autistic

like castiel is autistic and asexual, if not agender as well. nat is asexual aromantic (and arguments could be made that she’s autistic as well). the doctor i’ve always headcanoned as at least somewhere on the asexual spectrum, and timelords are certainly genderfluid. he’s also clearly got some form of adhd as well, certainly 10 and 11 do

but the thing is headcanoning the doctor as asexual is what made me discover i was (and rewatching it now, knowing i have adhd, its comforting to see someone so wonderful with it too). headcanoning cas is how i found out i was autistic. headcanoning nat as aroace is what made me realise i was probably demi.

headcanoning your favourite characters isn’t just a way to accept yourself. sometimes, it’s a way to discover yourself too
