Trigger warnings~ Undiagnosed autism in fem r sensory overload?

Prompt~ tumblr anon~ Would you write a platonic Lesso X ever student!Reader fic?
R is autistic, and while nobody really is aware of what that means (since nobody has access to modern medicine), Lady Lesso picks up on it quicker since Nevers are trained to spit and see their enemy's cues faster than they themselves do.
So when R has a breakdown or something, Lesso is the first to notice because she's already picking up on the oddities. And from there it's just her like bear hugging her or comforting her or something.

You always knew you were different from everyone else. It wasn't the usual difference of Never and Ever, although if that were the case you were considered to be on the side of the good. You found social situations difficult often not seeing the social cues which made it harder for you to make friends of any sort, that didn't bother you so much after all you much preferred your own company. You often tended to hyper fixate on subjects and you struggled to maintain eye contact. But being able to mask it rather well made it difficult for you be diagnosed with the little access to Morden medicine and newer medical terms.

As an ever, you were trained to be good and how to practically be a pretty princess. Never students were taught to spot the weaknesses in their enemies. That's how Lady Lesso could tell you weren't quite okay, a little oddball in the world of Nevers but far too sweet to be a Never. She saw how overwhelmed you become in social situations and how your obsessions would change every few months, your smile would light up when it was mentioned. Due to the schools merging it allows her more time to observe you.

You seemed okay, a little lonely but happy enough. Yet deep down you craved to be normal. Lesso wasn't the only one to notice your oddities, the Never students also saw how different you were. They would tease you and as much as it hurt you learned to accept it, after all the Ever students truly weren't much better.

One day you were having a meltdown, everything was extremely loud and bright and try as you might calming down wasn't working. You were shaking and overwhelmed as you attempted to breathe, the room spinning as you panicked. The students around you seemed to point and laugh at you which made things ten times worse. All you could do was curl up and rock yourself to try and self soothe yourself.

Lesso, was supervising when she spotted you with what is going on. She instantly made her way to you and crouched down to your level. "Lovely? Can I help you?" She murmured carful not to touch you or add anymore overwhelming actions to your situation. With a quick glare the students seems to disperse leaving just you and the Dean of Evil. You thought you'd be scared but truly you felt safe. You continued rocking yourself, gaze anywhere but her as your hands covered your ears in an attempt to combat everything. You even had your eyes shut and you were mumbling about your newest interest and asking for your weight blanket. Lesso wish she new what to do so she did the only think she knew how.

With a quick snap of her fingers your weighted blanket occurred and you instantly wrapped it around yourself, the weight already helping calm you down. It wasn't long before you were calm enough to notice her presence, "mm sorry I. Don't know what's happening" you mumbled, embarrassed really you tried so hard to mask your symptoms and only break down in the safety of your dorm, with all your safe comfort items. The fact you see apologising truly broke her heart. "You don't have to apologise my darling. If your feeling better we can go and find Clarissa?" She murmured before being interrupted by the Dean of good.

"Lesso? What has happened to my darling y/n?" She asked as she hurried over to kneel next to you both. Lesso explained how she had been watching you recently and you were having symptoms of a condition maybe not one this realm is aware of, perhaps it was time to reach out to Sophie and Agatha in Gavaldon. Maybe it was a condition in that realm. With a plan between you and the two Deans to reach out for more help you felt that maybe things would finally be a bit easier for you. Perhaps it was curable, perhaps not. But at least you'd know what was causing you to be the oddball of the school.
