It doesn't seem like an instinctive conclusion but to me a lot of things about Poe make sense if he is autistic (or otherwise neurodivergent):

-- his best friend is a droid
-- he expresses emotions without restraint where most NT people would probably dial it back
-- he makes a note of how well-made the TIE fighter is even while being shot at
-- he doesn't seem disturbed by Kylo Ren's mask like other NT people might be (since facial features do not mean a lot to him anyway)

(I'm sure there are other connections I'm forgetting . . . )

I am open to gen, Finn/Poe(/Rey), Poe+Rey, Poe+Leia, or anyone else in the Resistance. I would prefer to read others being accepting and accommodating of Poe rather than thinking he is "weird" and having to be enlightened on neurodiversity. Rey is also easily read as autistic and I would love to see them bond over it, or maybe NT Finn not even realizing Poe is considered neurodivergent, he is just Poe.

OP forgot to add that Poe "can fly anything," suggesting a natural aptitude for systems and an extremely quick learning curve, something you see a lot of in autistic/neurodivergent individuals.

I hadn't considered Poe being autistic/neurodivergent...but now I want this fic.

I don't know if I'd be able to write it because it's really hard for me to put into words what autistic is like (for me at least), but I do hope this gets filled.

Oh yes and how he's like who talks first you or me?
Agrees!

As a friendly extrovert with AS, I like your headcanon a lot! :)

I'm bipolar, and I definitely saw a sort of manic, determined energy to Poe. I'd love to write a fic using my experience as a guide but that's probably not what you're looking for, OP. That aside, I would love to see any kind of non-NT Poe.

I would read about bipolar Poe!

yay someone else who reads poe as autistic!

Oooh, I'd not particularly thought of autistic Poe, but definitely autistic Rey (and other Skywalkers) and autistic Finn.

Cause I'm a sucker for writing autistic fic, I'll try my hand at it.

Be forewarned, NTs, all your faves are autistic.
