Today is World Autism Awareness Day, and the official start date of Autism Awareness Month!
This month, this account will be dedicating each week to an autistic comic book character to shed a light on coded and canon autistic representation in comics!
Additionally, in Detective Comics #968, Jason is told that he's developing a hip bone spur due to a break he sustained at the hands of the Joker healing over wrong.
Bone spurs are not always disabling, but some can cause pain and affect mobility. https://t.co/2T0R8NaD8Q
Re-experiencing the event:
- He avoids sleep due to the traumatic nightmares.
- He experiences flashbacks (he also notes a scent that isn't really there but was during the event).
- He is triggered by the scraping of metal against concrete, resulting in an episode (WFA).
The disabled character OTW is...
Jason Todd, better known as Red Hood!
After the events of The Killing Joke and his subsequent resurrection, Jason sustained massive physical and mental trauma, resulting in permanent brain and nerve damage, chronic pain, and PTSD.
The HEADCANON disabled character OTD is...
Tim Drake, better known as Robin!
Tim has a long history of falling asleep in the most inopportune moments, and while this is attributed to his nights of staying up late, the concept of him having Narcolepsy is far more interesting.
The disabled character OTD is...
Jessica Cruz, better known as Green Lantern!
After a hunting trip that ended with her friends being murdered by mobsters, Jessica developed agoraphobia didn't leave her apartment for 3 years. She also has PTSD from the incident and anxiety.
The disabled character OTD is...
Freddy Freeman, better known as Captain Marvel!
Freddy was collateral damage in a fight between Captain Marvel and Captain Nazi. He broke his leg and suffered a severe spinal injury when the latter grabbed his leg and threw him. He uses a cane!
The disabled character of #WorldAIDSDay is...
Mia Dearden, better known as Speedy!
After escaping her abusive home and living on the streets since she was eleven, later sharing a home with an abusive pimp, she tested positive for HIV at fifteen while in Green Arrow's care.
The disabled character OTD is...
Tony Masters, better known as the Taskmaster!
After injecting himself with a knock-off Super-Soldier Serum during his time with S.H.I.E.L.D., Taskmaster's hippocampus, a part of the brain linked with memory and learning, was severely damaged.
If you want to see an explicitly deaf Clint Barton, I highly recommend Hawkeye (2012), All-New Hawk-Eye, and Hawkeye VS. Deadpool! The later is a personal favorite, showing Wade trying to sign, and lifting his mask so Clint can read his lips.
