Feel free to drop your neurodivergent headcannons/cannons (ALSO PLEASE BE NICE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND INTERNET TONE WELL SO PLEASE BE GENTLE IF YOU DISAGREE)

The Joker (Mainly Joaquin Phoenix?'s Joker) CANNON/HEADCANNON?

-Now when people think neurodivergent they usually think autism and adhd. But its actually alot of things including mental illness. And we can ALL agree that the Joker is mentally ill. Is he the best representation of neurodivergence? No. So I have no idea wheter or not to call him a cannon or headcannon. I used to think the Joker is autistic but after looking into it I dont really believe he is autistic

Entrapta (She-Ra) CANNON

-Entrapta is the princess of Dryl in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. She is my favorite character and she is cannon autistic. Some might say she is steroytypical "the smart autistic girl" but I honestly think Entrapta is so relatable for me. One of my favorite quote from her is when she talked about how she doesnt understand people but she understand tech (her special intrests)

Cricket Green (Big City Greens) CANNON KINDA

-So I used to watch this show all the time (Its on Disney plus) but Cricket Green was kinda conformed to have adhd. Just watch the episode "Quiet Please" and you'll see what I mean.

Star Butterfly (Star vs The Forces of Evil) HEADCANNON

-Star is also very relatible to a younger me. Very hyper. Very litarle. rApToR aRms. Yes I know she is like an alien princess thing but I still headcannon her as autistic.

(EDIT) Lucy Quinn (Harley Quinn and J's daughter) DEFINETLY NOT CANNON

(I am putting J instead of his actual name because my school is weird lol)

LMAO okay so I littarley doubt any of you know who this character is. She is littarley brought up ONE time in the DC universe. Lucy Quinn is the young daughter of Harley Quinn and J. Harley gave her up because she thought J didnt have enough time for Lucy. So I head cannon Lucy as neurodivergent. I quess you could call it projection idk. My evidence for this is well, J and Harley have neurodivergent brains. And I also have alot of trauma with the J so I make him as good as he can be lmao. Like I picture him actually being a good dad to Lucy. Idk im weird okay we estabished this.


Thats all I have. I'll edit if I find anymore headcannons/cannons

Mar 11, 2022 5:49 am

@kandifrogs808: oh yeah that would make a lot of sense =0

Mar 11, 2022 5:48 am

@genimccleni: Yeah I was gonna add her dad too. Because he acts similar to her and autism can be genetic

@kandifrogs808: yes 100% i think wensday is

i think probably from childhood trauma?

(and also a little reflecting on me just because everyone always says i look like her so now i have an emotial attachemnt to her)

Mar 11, 2022 5:46 am

i 100% agree with the star butterfly one =D

i also think that mabel from gravity falls might be some kind of neurodivergent??

it always stuck with me the way she was never able to let go of the past and live life in the moment

pinkie pie and rainbow dash!! (mlp. not canon but theyre just very relatable for me)
