Out of all the autistic characters in shows I’ve watched, I think Donnie is the closest to me on the spectrum. It was very cool to see that. I’ve never really felt that seen in a character before tbh. It was also really nice seeing GOOD REPRESENTATION for once because oh my god is autistic rep heavily stigmatized and misunderstood.

Literally binge watched rottmnt within two days and wrote this almost immediately after which is probably a bit concerning BUT THE GRIND NEVER STOPS.

This video took a bit longer than expected because I’m in the process of moving out of my house and going to college.
