Summary
“Sorry if this is overstepping, you don’t have to answer, but can I ask when you were diagnosed?”
It took Spencer a moment to realise what she was saying. “Oh,” he replied, a bit thrown. “I’m not autistic.”
---
Spencer is sick of people making assumptions about him.

Gotham isn't prepared.

Summary
Dick gets dosed with a truth serum. Everyone has a miserable time.
-_-
“You know I ignore your calls sometimes?” Dick told them casually.
Tim’s jaw dropped. “You- What?” Jason looked equally stunned.
Dick held a hand in front of his face and picked at his nails. “I ignore your calls. Sometimes it’s just so… UGH. Haha.” He scratched his jaw. “’S’like, no. Not today. Fix your own fucking problems.”

Summary
He has to cut this thing out from him. It’s a fungus growing and spreading and rotting inside of him. It started empty, dormant, and as he got older and far more ridiculed and seen, that dormant thing took over the space hollowed out in his chest and made it its own. If someone offered him a scalpel, he might try to cut carefully around it, extract every piece of the fungus and leave a gaping hole that he could fill with something. Anything.
Sometimes Spencer wishes he could tear this part of him out; little does he know that thing is his autism. He learns to live alongside it.

The best description of why being autistic in a testing environment sucks. I wish there was more of this story.

Summary
“Is the Red Hood’s helmet watertight?” someone asked, and Jason was cold and dripping and on the ground next to Dick and he wasn’t breathing.
“No,” Tim’s voice was tight.
“We need to take it off,” Lagoon Boy's words were met by a handful of yells, both in person and through the comms.
“This is the Red Hood,” Shazam said. “They say he has explosives in his helmet. It might explode if you try to take it,”
“Seriously?”
Dick reached towards the helmet to unlock it with trembling hands, to everyone’s alarm.
“The explosives.” Superboy interjected.
“Connor,” Tim cut in sharply. “We know what we’re doing,”I had thoughts about Jason being super cagey about his identity as the Red Hood to the point that he has explosives in his helmet to prevent people from taking it off, and the vulnerability of the Batfam members knowing the ins and outs of his helmet and how to take it off despite it all.
