ALSO IVE seen some posts about people headcannoned richard with asd- i didnt look too hard at them but a reason was due to the way he speaks and how awkwardly he expresses himself. and i dont think thats true- which they could headcannon him however they wanted but i think its because he doesnt speak very much obviously because hes embarrassed and concious and its uncomfortable for him. so whenever he does speak he says things that matter. he wants to say what he means and nothing else. hes not much of conversationalist, probably even before he was injured. hes bookish and basically a nerd. he hasnt interacted with too many people. hes also kind of,, i hesitate to say poetic, little,, abstract. im not using the right words but hes hard to get.
