[] Flailingkit [] Demisexual + Uranic/gay (male, masc, and neutral genders) [] Male, He/Him [] Flailing will be very quiet as a kit, in fact, partly due to his autism, Flailingkit will not speak for at least a moon (common occurrence in human children w/ autism). This quietness will fade slightly but remain overall present throughout his life. Flailing is a reserved tomcat, and he often acts polite even to individuals he dislikes. He carries a silent resentment to any cat he believes has wronged him, and he holds grudges. Flail may act like he forgives someone, but he never forgets, and it's likely that he's at least considering some sort of revenge. He gets upset and angry easily, but he doesn't often show it in adulthood (he will as a kit bc he doesn't know how to hide it). He's very determined once he's set his mind to something and it can be hard to change his mind. +dutiful +composed =quiet -hardheaded -resentful [] Autsim. Autism is a neurological spectrum disorder; no one person diagnosed with autism will exhibit it in the exact same way. Autism typically affects the social and communicative skills of individuals, but there are also many other ways it manifests. Some Neurodivergent individuals also: show a preference for routine, engage in repetitive actions (such as "stimming"), experience sensitivity to surroundings, use stiff or clumsy movements, and show many more behaviors not listed here. Autism is typically exhibited or diagnosed in childhood, but those with more "mild" symptoms may not be diagnosed until adulthood. source: Mayo clinic [] as mentioned early, Flailingkit will not speak for the first moon of his life. this is an early way to spot the disorder in infancy; a child developing skills late or even skipping them entirely. Flail will learn to speak just as any other kit, though, as he grows. some symptoms he won't grow out of include sensitivity to loud sounds leading to overstimulation, an occasional lack of understanding of social cues, repetitive movements, and a desire for routine. [] ``Flail glowered at a particular cat from across the camp, his tail thwapping rhythmically against the ground. They weren't even aware of the tomcat's ire directed at them; he had made sure of that. He nodded politely when he was supposed to, he shared his prey, but just under the surface Flail was seething. the cat looked his way and he blinked affectionately, as if he wasn't scouting for sharp rocks to line their nest.`` [] Vc: Sam Porter, Death Stranding [] yknow how cats puff up when they're trying to look bigger... Flailing does that,,, but like with his mohawk. song: Mr. Self-destruct by Nine-Inch Nails
