A/N - I'm a dummy but it's ok
DISCLAIMER - This was for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY not for any yay lets do it kind of thing. I legitimately researched using sites like the CDC but looking at symptoms can only do so much. Most of the behavior comes from aggressively watching The Good Doctor to see how Shaun reacts to his surroundings. I understand that's not a very credible source but I needed to see how someone with autism might relate to their surroundings
Enjoy dears p.s. don't @ me for the title it's fine just read and you'll understand
John's POV
I sighed as I looked for my dorm and came to what I hoped was the door. I unlocked the door and looked around. "Hello?" I called out, upon no answer I entered the dorm and went straight for the kitchen. I opened a cabinet and saw some stuff in it so I shoved it aside and started putting my stuff up.
"No! Put it back!" Someone demanded pushing past me and taking my stuff out. I looked down at my curly haired roommate and frowned.
"It's a cabinet, dude."
"No! It's my cabinet. You can have that one. I have this one, you have that one. You can't just change it."
"Fine. Whatever." I grabbed my snacks and he stood there. "You don't have to watch me. I get it." I huffed, putting my snacks in the other cabinet. The boy turned and walked away. I frowned and brushed it off. I found my room and started unpacking. The door opened and the boy appeared, setting sheets on the end of the bed neatly. "Thanks." He left and I sighed. My phone buzzed and I picked it up. "Hey, Franny." I grinned.
"Hey, Jack. I'm gonna go get coffee with my roommate and his friend. Wanna come?"
"Uhhhhhh...Sure." I smiled.
"Meet me in the lobby."
"Ok." I hummed, Francis is my childhood best friend and I'm so glad we're going to college together. I grabbed my jacket and headed out into the sitting room. The boy was nowhere to be seen and I shrugged, heading down to the lobby. I met up with Francis and he smiled.
"Hey, John. This is my roommate, Hercules. Hercules, this is John."
"Hey, man. People usually just call me Herc."
"Cool." I smiled. "My roommate is already driving me crazy." I chuckled, Francis and Hercules laughed and I smiled.
"My boyfriend's on his way. He's just getting his brother." Francis and I nodded and the elevator dinged. Two red heads left and I recognized one as my roommate. I gave Francis a look and he snorted, trying to contain his laughter. "Francis, John, this is my boyfriend Lafayette-" Lafayette waved and Herc smiled. "-and his brother, Alexander."
"Hey, most people call me Laf." Lafayette smiled. "Alex? Come on." Laf urged.
"Hello, I am Alexander." The boy spoke clearly and stared at the ground.
"I'm John." I smiled, shaking hands with Laf. "Alex, here, is my roommate."
"That is 'Alexander' to you." Alexander interjected, Laf put his hand on Alexander's shoulder and chuckled lightly.
"Both of you chill. It's nice to meet you, John."
"I'm Francis." He shook hands with Laf and held out his hand for Alexander to shake. Alexander didn't do anything and Francis awkwardly let his hand fall.
"Don't take it personally. Alex has autism." Laf hummed, I felt the color drain from my face and Francis' eyes widened.
"Oh..." I managed. "Is there anything I need to do-"
"Not really. Just be mindful of his stuff and try not to interfere with his routine." I nodded quickly and Lafayette smiled.
"Ready to go?" Herc asked, we headed out and choose the nearest coffee shop. I sat between Francis and Laf and Alexander sat between Laf and Herc. He sat in silence and stared at some girl behind the counter. She came over to take our orders and we all ordered. When it came to Alex he tore his eyes away and stared down at his hands.
"And what can I get for you, cutie?" She smiled.
"He'll have a coffee, black." Laf hummed.
"Ok." The barista, walked off and Alexander looked back at her.
"Alex, why don't you tell us what you're majoring in?" Laf hummed, trying to get the ball rolling.
"I am majoring in criminal law." Alexander spoke, staring at the table.
"John, what are you majoring in?"
"Ah, criminal law."
"Oh, hey. Alex, you've got a study buddy." Laf grinned and I smiled.
"No, thank you."
"Ok. What about you, Francis?"
"I'm majoring in civil law." He chuckled, I smiled and nudged him.
"I'm majoring in Family and Consumer sciences." Herc smiled.
"I'm majoring in political sciences." Laf smiled. We chatted for awhile and Alex chimed in a couple times.
