fully convinced that the only reason fool's paradise has such low rating is because the critics never saw a platonic romcom before

charlie work is such a great episode man

  • it shows us charlies perfect pitch which is a very rare gift to have (the carbon monoxide detector sound)
  • it shows us how well charlie knows the gang and can predict what they and the health inspector are gonna do (30 seconds to make the noise in the bathroom, knowing dee is gonna sit on the chair so he tries breaking in throughout the episode, understanding their plan without them explaining it to them...)
  • CHARLIE
  • half of the episode being one long shot (you can notice the cuts if youre focusing but ssshhhh)
  • charlie
  • it shows us how well charlie can measure distances (the dumpster being 5.5 feet away when its supposed to be 6 and dee didnt move it so the health inspector had to log it down damn it dee. maybe charlie can actually count the gas)
in conclusion:
charlie cool
Charlie Stimming Masterpost

A Study in Sunny

When asking how much of an impact television shows have and why they are so important to us, I’m sure the latter is a question that’s lingered in the minds of many parents concerned with their child’s obsessions with various things, whether that be bands, actors, sports stars or TV shows. I know I for one have endured the embarrassment of my dad bringing up my new hyper fixation at family dinners or my friends roasting me for whatever new poster I’ve just bought. Even before I planned on writing this article, I think I’ve always known my short-lived obsessions or long time loves have always been deeper than superficiality. (Maybe my High School Musical phase can be excluded from that, though).

I think there’s a lot more to what we watch that makes us cling so hard to our shows, and that they genuinely have a huge influence and emotional impact on our lives. A few people I’ve talked to or seen online think that my generation’s attachment to fiction universes is a bad thing, which to an extent I can understand. However, at the risk of sounding dramatic,  I truly believe TV shows have unimaginable impacts on us.

Whether that’s simply making us laugh until our sides hurt or allowing us a brief distraction from our messy lives there’s so much that shows offer us than just entertainment. Whether you find solace in living vicariously through your favourite character or simply enjoy being able to relate to a situation close to your heart, why should it matter what others think? How could we not hyper-fixate on something that to some extent reflects who you are and what you find compelling about life? And really, who’s to say that doing so is detrimental when to some, a show could be their only outlet to express themselves? I don’t know about you, but I can’t see anything wrong with that at all.

Dennis, Dee, Mac, and Charlie are all autistic. Dennis has issues dealing with sharp noises (like the buzzer when they were on the game show) and food issues. He forgets to eat and has trouble feeling hunger. Dee cant tell if she crosses the line with jokes sometimes and sometimes cant tell if she is wanted (boundary issues). She also forgets to eat and cant feel hunger sometimes, like Dennis. Mac, like Dee, has boundary issues, especially with people he is infatuated with (ie Dennis). Charlie has sensory issues, specifically noise and textures. He gets overloaded a lot, especially when tired, and when he does, he goes into the crevice to calm down. He doesn't understand why he cant eat things like paint, and gets frustrated a lot when people don't understand what he means. I have more headcanons for Charlie because I relate more to him than the rest of the gang.

Feel free to add to this if you want.

Charlie Kelly Autism:

His routines are important to him, particularly his nighttime routine.

He also stim's often, both with verbal stim's (high pitched screams) and flapping his hands. He often shows signs of echolalia, repeating words or phrases back to the person he is talking to. He has trouble participating in conversation and often doesn't realise when Dennis and Mac are talking about him and he thinks they are talking about someone else.

He always has special interestss/hyperfixations and here some of them are: beanie babies, ghouls, rats, birds, the bar ect

He always wears the same clothing which means he won't experience any sensory issues. He tends to eat the same food, such as pizza and cat food.

Charlie expiring a sensory overload:

I also think he has dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia. (SPLD)
