I know I prompted already (and I'm so excited to get to read the poems I helped inspire!), but in case you're considering writing something in LIFC:
Not one of the Avengers is really neurotypical. Tony is a giant ball of twice-exceptionality exploding all over the place. Bruce-and-Hulk suffer from (wording used on purpose) being trapped in the same body. Natka bears the marks left on her by the Red Room, and Bucky the ones by Hydra. All of those are pretty obvious. But Steve processes things differently from most people due to growing up in a different world, Clint (as Tony has pointed out) can calculate complicated trajectories on the fly, and I'd be pretty surprised Betty didn't have some neurodiverse traits as well (starting with the fact that anyone who can go toe-to-toe with Tony on engineering is DEFINITELY more than two standard deviations above the norm in at least some areas). Granted, all these characters are disasters...but their neurodiversity ain't why!
