TW- mocking of stimming, bullying (more making fun of autistic traits)

Wilbur's POV:

Tommy had organised for me and him to go into London for the day. We were meeting Vik, George and then KSI. He was so excited and had it all set out. What was happening when, where we were going to be at different points. His current obsession was his Youtube, and it showed. Even after rubbish days for him, which during the pandemic there were many, I would call him, only to hear he couldn't talk right now because he was working on his channel. It was cool he was getting so much out of one of obsessions for once. His dad told me, that at 12, he developed an obsession with tractors, and was bullied horrendously for it. And since that point, Tommy would shut himself off when he got new obsessions unless he could find someone else who was as passionate about it as he was. That's how he and Tubbo became such good friends. A common interest for one, was a common obsession for the other.

But he sat in a call with me a few days before, talking through the order of the day, wanting my approval on everything. He saw me as a big brother, and whilst I said I hated it, I knew it was what he needed. He needed someone looking out for him, just to be there if he needed someone. When we did vlogs like these, someone had to be prepared for him to get stressed, upset, or overwhelmed. Most of the time, that was Tommy. That kid lived with a backpack on, and it had everything in. Like everything. Sometimes, all we really needed to do was keep people away from him; he had learned over the years, to calm himself down. It didn't mean he didn't need any help, it just meant that most of the time, he would ask for a break, and after 15 minutes or so, he would be running around with his camera again.

The day was going well; he had made all his jokes around Buckingham palace and we had walked over the River Thames, now on our way to Vik's. "Tommy? Vik knows you're autistic right? You told him?" I was met with silence. "Why didn't you tell him?"

"I didn't want him to treat me differently. Like a kid or something. You've seen what happens. The among us lobbies are clear evidence. I let them know off-stream and suddenly, I've gone from being treated just like Tubbo, to being treated like Tubbo's little brother."

"Ok, I get your point. But I'm sure that Vik's really understanding with all that, and you've talked to him loads about today. If something happens whilst he's around, do you want me to explain it."

"Yes thank you Wilbur. I'm sorry. I just wanted to have a cool day, where I wasn't treated like I'm 5."

"It's alright, I know what you mean. You wanted to be treated like Tommy, not the autistic one."

"Yea."

"Does George know?"

"Umm, yea, he was in a call where I was talking to dream about YouTube. Dream and I ended up discussing past obsessions, after realising youtube and minecraft were both of our current ones. Did you know, he had an alligator obsession at one point?"

"I can see him having an alligator obsession actually. And well, at least George knows. Was he alright with it?" 

"I don't know. He just talked to Dream and then left, he laughed at something but I never worked out what it was."

"Oh, well I'm sure he'll be alright with it. He's George. And plus, he's good friends with Dream, so he might already have heard some about of the things you normally have to explain to people."

"Yea. Anyway, so I was on the minecraft reddit page, and did you know..."

Time skip to Vik's:

Tommy had gone to the toilet, and left Vik and I talking about crypto currency. "Hey, weird question. But is something up with Tommy. He seems off."
