Do you have any autistic!Enjolras headcanons?

definitelygrantaire:

Actually I’ve never thought about it until now, but I like it and I’m getting some ideas!

  • When Enjolras was little, he always had trouble with speech. He was okay talking to his family and friends, but when he had to present in front of his class he’d always talk quietly and stutter.
  • His classmates made fun of him for it, and he closed himself off.
  • When he got to college he had to take a required public speaking class, and he was terrified.
  • He eventually met and joined Les Amis and would quietly give his input to Combeferre, who would share it for him.
  • As he began to feel more comfortable with Les Amis though, he was able to share his own thoughts and opinions. They appreciated him for who he was, not looking down on him for any disability.
  • Once he got comfortable with speaking in front of Les Amis, they encouraged him to speak for a small protest. He didn’t stutter once.
  • Enjolras came to realize that when he was speaking about something he was passionate about, he could do it clearly, and if he ever got nervous, he would just look to his friends and gather courage from them.

Hope that was okay! I don’t have a lot of experience with autism, so if any of that was inaccurate or offensive please tell me!
