Tbh, Doesn't Really Seem Like He's Acknowledging Much Of His Own Trauma Either

I started a character analysis project in my psychology class. I have 5 pages of notes so far and my current research shows that Elliot is autistic. My research is also showing that I am autistic. Great.

Xavier stares at ghosts the same way animals do. Its like they know something is there but can't communicate it and just

Alice: someone other than us is using the pond

Meanwhile:

Characters in The Way Home who don’t know they’re in The Way Home. Max Goodwin looks at Alice and sees science lab partner in the 2020s and someone whose grandmother knew his grandmother and then meanwhile she’s *checks notes* his grandmother’s mildly traitorous-by-circumstance time travelling friend in the 1970s who happens to be the granddaughter of said friend’s unrequited beloved and her romantic nemesis; Alice also happened to be at their science teacher’s insane party at Max’s grandmother’s house before he was their science teacher or old. This isn’t a time travel show to Max this is ‘this girl is niceys about granny and we like the same gross ass fries :)’ Yeah sorry this niceys girl has an accidental side hobby of being there when your granny’s life goes to shit and no she doesn’t even feel good about it

update:

so I'm probably going to cut my hair short again and maybe dye it to my mom's natural color.

I just realized that it would make me look like young Elliot but trans. that makes me want to go through with this even more
