Autistic wanda maximoff

Wanda: 14-15

Tw⚠️: sensory overload

******************
When Wanda moved to the compound the avengers realized she wasn't exactly normal..

They first put it down to anxiety and trauma. But Nat soon realised it was something else. Wanda hated bright lights, loud noises she also noticed that Wanda never made eye contact, some clothing materials made Wanda freak out on a whole other level. Wanda also flapped/clapped her hands when she was excited or rocked on her heels when she was anxious she also went non-verbal sometimes. Wanda couldn't read social cues properly and sarcasm went over her head entirely. She liked reading, baking and movies. She liked talking about her special interests which were currently the Titanic and murder mystery style media whether that was books or true crime TV shows, podcasts it didn't matter she enjoyed it and could talk about them for hours if the avengers let her. Nat then brought up her concerns to Bruce who pointed them in the direction of a child phycologist who could assess Wanda for autism.

"Wanda can I ask you something?" Nat asked she was the one responsible for telling Wanda the news of her diagnosis. "Yea tasha what's up?" Wanda said as Nat came into her room.
"Do you know what autism is Wanda?" Nat asked tenitively. "no.. why?" Wanda asked racking her brain to see if she had heard that word before. "Well it's a different way if thinking, like looking through a different lense to the rest of the world "Nat explained calmly. "Oh okay why is this important. "Well Wanda, do you remember Dr. Robert?" Nat said mentioning Wanda's phycologist. "Yea why?" Wanda said fidgeting. "Well he's diagnosed you with autism Wanda.." Nat explained. "Oh.. so I'm not normal?" Wanda asked. "No honey your perfectly normal okay don't forget that you just think differently than others meaning you see things in a different light and react too things in a different way to others" Nat explained calmly not wanting Wanda to feel bad about herself. "Okay Tasha can we go bake a cake please? I found a new recipe!" Wanda asked as baking was one of her special interests "Yea of course Hun" Nat replied happily.

It was around 1pm at the compound and Nat was just watching a movie when Wanda walked in. "Hi Tasha" Wanda said happily. "Hi detka what you up too?" Nat asked tenitively always ready to listen to Wanda's new interest. "I learnt about this man who survived the Titanic crash by drinking alcohol! Can you believe that he drank that much it saved him, the alcohol levels in his blood made the affects of hypothermia less diligent making it less severe" Wanda said excitedly while her hands flapped around a bit due to her excitement. "That's cool!! do you want to tell me more?" Nat asked.  "I can?" Wanda asked apprehension in her voice knowing people don't like it when she rambles, according to Tony it can be annoying. "Yea little witch. It's your special interest you shouldn't feel bad talking about something that interests you" Nat said softly " now what happened to the drunk guy on the Titanic??" Nat said.

The avengers were sitting around the dining table eating the take out F.R.I.D.A.Y ordered. "So what did you guys do today?" Tony asked as he and Bruce had been working in the lab all day and Peter came and joined them after school. "Me and Wanda baked a cake, you guys can have some later if you want?" Nat said mindlessly. "Yea sounds good what flavor?" Tony asked. "Chocolate fudge but we added strawberry and raspberries on top" wanda said fidgeting with her clothes. "Oh cool!" Peter said happily. "Do you guys want to know what happened at school today?" Peter said after swallowing a bite of pizza. "Yea sure Pete" Clint said. "Well this kid flash threw a rubber (eraser) at one of the other kids but it hit the teacher and he has detention for a month now!" Peter said. "Why?" Wanda asked quietly. "Well the teacher had just called his parents Infront of the entire class and he was embarrassed cause the other kids laughed at him making him lash out" Peter explained for Wanda. Wanda didn't verbally respond just nodded then whispered to Nat asking to leave the table. "Why honey are you okay?" Nat whispered back Wanda just shook her head no she had gone non-verbal. "Okay that's fine hun do you want me to come with you or wait a bit?" Nat asked unsure of what Wanda needed. Wanda just shook her head no again and went upstairs to her bedroom.

When Wanda went into her room she got F.R.I.D.A.Y to activate protocol 'all to much' which turned of the lights, closed the blinds and informed Nat of what was going on. She grabbed her headphones and put them and played her favourite playlist and pulled her weighted blanket over her as the compression helped the buzzing her head was doing with all the thoughts running around.

After about 20 minutes Nat went upstairs and Wanda was still in the same position. "Hey milaya are you alright?" Nat asked and Wanda shook her head. "That's okay do you want to watch TV? And I can come sit next to you?" The ball of blankets on the bed nodded. And Nat got Friday to set the TV brightness to the lowest possible setting.
Wanda climbed into Nats lap and cuddled into her. " Are you feeling better now Hun?" Nat asked and Wanda responded with a curt nod. "Okay that's good are you ready to talk?" Nat asked tenitively. "Yea.. "wanda whispered out. "I got overwhelmed, the lights felt to bright, I could hear everyone chewing and the pizza felt weird" Wanda stated.  Nat new that this was something Wanda struggled with frequently. "Would you like me to get you something else? Peanut butter sandwich perhaps?"  Nat asked knowing that was one of Wanda's safe foods. "Yes please but can I have it later when it's more quiet, because I wouldn't be able to eat it now" Wanda explained. "Okay that's fine would you like me to stay?" Nat asked unsure of the whole situation. "Yea.. yes please" Wanda whispered out.  "Okay little witch" Nat replied noticing Wanda falling asleep.
