Stims: Humming, whistling, singing and listening to music
Sensory heaven: Loud music, tight clothes and dim lighting
Sensory hell: Silence, bright light and clothes with scratchy labels
Hyper- or hyposensitive?
- Vision: Hypersensitive (Light hurts his eyes, which is why he is always wearing sunglasses)
- Hearing: Hyposensitive (Loves listening to music at loud volumes)
- Smell: Neither hypo- nor hypersensitive
- Touch: Hyposensitive (He likes to wear tight leather clothes as a pressure stim)
- Taste: Hypersensitive (There are very few foods and drinks he can stand)
- Vestibular: Hyposensitive (Loves rocking backwards and forwards and spinning)
Meltdowns or shutdowns?: Meltdowns
Special interest(s): Music, English and gramophones
Social Issues: Hizashi struggles to control the volume of his voice and is prone to speaking over other people and infodumping.
Communication: Hizashi is prone to echolalia, and goes partly-nonverbal after a meltdown.
Other Neurodiverse Headcanons: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Canon examples: Hizashi is loud and hyperactive, and blurts phrases in English for no apparent reason. He doesn’t seem to realise how much he annoys Aizawa Shouta (both when he gives Shouta his hero name and when he drags Shouta to commentate with him at the sports festival) and is always wearing sunglasses, even in the flashback to his youth with Shouta, suggesting he has hypersensitive eyes.
