Tony/Any - Tony has Aspergers

Tony has Aspergers. There is no way that he ever wants anyone to find out.

OP here

That was amazing. I like how Tony finds it difficult to accept, and chooses to 'fake normal'. I love that Bruce didn't make a big deal out of it, and was perfectly accepting. It filled my heart with happy.

I'm off to go and read it again now.

I'm glad you liked this! I could just imagine Tony going 'No. I'm not having this' and trying to pretend that nothing is wrong - I'm glad that canme through.

Bruce 3>
He came across as just so accepting of what life threw his way that I felt he'd be totally cool with this.

That was good
After years I was diagnosed in my early/mid-teens, your not wrong about the alcohol by the way, honestly even if I have no problem with it and no matter how much trouble it saves (aka not getting offend when I don't shake their hands), it gives me a squirmy feeling when someone new is told, esp when I swear they start to speak slower and louder and the constant flow of are you OK, sorry ranting anyway I've always found Tony believable as an aspie, amongst other things I think that's why I love the character so much and you've written it very well.

Thank you.

I'm amazed by how much feed-back this has been generating. It's wonderful!

I'm so pleased that so many people have been open enough speak about their own experiences. THIS IS THE POWER OF FANDOM.

Movie!Tony has so many hallmarks of sitting somewhere on the autistc spectrum (I don't know about comic!Tony); I don't know if this was purposely done, but it gives me happy feels that Marvel is not discriminatory towards minority groups(and that is completely off topic, sorry).

Thank you again :)

This is now my headcanon. It's far too easy to interpret his character that way
