Fics like Who Am I to Say What Any of This Means?

Eddie’s eyebrows are raised. He’s speaking deliberately. “My first grade teacher set up a meeting with Wayne and told him she thought I had autism. So Wayne took me to the doctors and it turned out she was right.” He is still looking at Steve. Oh. Steve’s been staring at him like an idiot for forty seconds instead of acknowledging this important, incredibly personal detail that he has just shared. Steve remembers eye contact––one, two, three––then answers. “That’s cool.” “Steve,” Eddie says, carefully. “Have you ever been tested? Because I’ve been noticing… When I look at you, I kinda see some signs.” • Or: the autistic Steddie fic. Steve was diagnosed with autism at age four. His parents never told him. Eddie was diagnosed with autism at age six. Wayne taught him to love it. In 1986, after their lives get irrevocably intertwined, Eddie sees past Steve’s slipping mask, and helps him uncover a part of himself he’d long forgotten. • Title from Nine, by Sleeping at Last.
