Some lil Donnie doodles I did today because I needed to make SOMETHING and this is cute.
I am also an autistic bean and although I wasn't diagnosed until I was 14, I definitely showed signs as a small child and I feel like Donnie DEFINITELY did too.
I HC that Splinter, you know, KNEW something was different from the beginning and knows Donnie is on the spectrum, but he can't get an official diagnosis for him because of This Whole Situation TM. But he's done a lot of research and knows Donnie loves music and dancing, so he teaches him bō-jutsu (known for its kinetic flow) to help him improve his proprioception and help them bond.
Bonus lil Leo because he's freakin cute AF, LOOK AT HIM.
