• Aragorn has known you for a long time, so helping with your autism is not new for him
• He's particularly experienced in reading your emotions and meeting your needs, whether it's helping you out of stressful situations or calming you down, he's there 🥺
• If there are large and boisterous gatherings in Rivendell, its almost guaranteed that you can become over-stimulated quickly, and Aragorn immediately senses this (spidey senses õoõ)
• He's fast to find your hand and give it a gentle squeeze of reassurance
• If that doesn't seem to help, he'll instantly stop what he's doing and take you out of the room
• If you're someone who prefers lots of space and little physical contact, he is 100% respectful of this and asks if you'll let him touch or hug you (very much gentleman 😌)
• If ever you're confronted by someone of importance, Aragorn is right by your side to ease some of the tension
• Sometimes there are things you find difficult to say or get out of your system
• The king seems to know exactly what it is and will help you out by saying it or asking you simple questions that you can easily answer
• And he always reminds you, no matter WHAT
• YOU ARE NOT STUPID 😤😡
• You may struggle with some parts of your life, but every day, he's constantly telling you that you're very intelligent and kind
• His patience is unending and he'll never let you think down on yourself
• Overall, Aragorn is always someone and reminding you that it's all going to be okay ❤❤

• Most nights, Legolas keeps watch (since elves don't require much sleep) and notices that you jolt awake out of the random
• Now, most of the Fellowship notices that you're usually awake and ready to go before anyone else
• But Legolas is really the one to address you first
• You were a bit nervous to explain, since you didn't want to worry him or the great of the fellowship, amount the other disadvantages you have
• He gently encouraged you, and finally, you explained to him your sleep apnea
• Yeah, he was very concerned
• I mean, his blue eyes widened with terror when you told him that you could basically die in your sleep if you weren't attentive enough 🙃
• Legolas, from now on, sleeps directly next to you, or keeps extra careful watch over you at night
• Because he could NEVER see his precious mortal friend become injured... Or worse 🥺🥺❤
• The other members had noticed a change in his behaviors towards you as well...
• Gimli teased him whenever he caught Legolas giving you some extra lembas bread or offered to carry you 👉👈
• You really tried to assure Legolas that it wasn't a big deal when you were awake, since you're aware of your breathing situation
• But still 😤
• Legolas will always bring you comfort and take great care of you, and that will NEVER CHANGE
• Because he loves you very much ❤🦋

• Frodo is familiar with the feeling of great anxiety, seeing he had a stress-free life while living in the Shire and suddenly was forced to carry a piece of jewelry all the way to giant ass volcano
• It's easy for you two to comfort each other and seek refuge in thoughts and feelings ❤
• He's not super comfortable with the thought of you having a panic attack though...
• Only because he's never had one
• It starts to give him a panic attack whenever you have one around him the first time 😳-
• Any time you begin to breathe heavy or hyperventilate, halfling boy is hot at your heels, rubbing your back and reminding you to breathe gently
• (So many hugs, if you're up for it)
• After you calm down, he's constantly checking on you, asking if you need anything etc.
• Really, he just wants to know if he can help 🥺
• And even with the weight and stress of carrying the ring, Frodo manages to cheer you up somehow

• Sam has never had to deal with asthma once in his life
• He's very nervous when the subject is brought, afraid it might trigger something inside of you 🥺👉👈
• But you just chuckle, assure him that it's alright, and you have ways of keeping it under control
• And now, he wants to know everything about it, just to have the awareness in case something happens
• Sam just wants to protect you forever, and this was a great way for him to start
• He constantly reminds Aragorn that you'll need breathing breaks and will convince Gandalf to let you ride on his horse
• He'll scold Pip and Merry if they are trying to drag you around and be silly, because as he says
• "You'll rouse him/her/them up! We can't have Y/N gettin injured!" 🤨😠
• Sam is MOM
• As always, he's very kind and always makes sure your needs are met ❤🥺

• Very confused halfings 🤔
• Also extremely concerned!
• You were eating one of the lesser pleasurable nights
• It was cold and rainy, and a fire couldn't be started, not to mention the quiet arguments of Aragorn and Gandalf in the nearby woods
• And Pip's eyes widened when he saw the tips of your petite fingers begin to pale upon hearing Aragorn mention Orcs
• "What's wrong with your hands?!" He squeaked, pointing towards your now white-colored fingertips
• You hadn't even noticed, nor felt, considering they were numb anyways
• Merry looked over his cousin's shoulder and his eyes also widened, not with fright, but wonder
• They were both fascinated with your condition, convinced that you were casting some spell Gandalf showed you
• Although you reassured them it was just an extremely frustrating inconvenience that you had, among other things
• So from then on, the disastrobus duo did their best to keep you out of the cold (and stressful situations!!)
• As a distraction, the pair will tell you great stories of the shire, doing little dances and skits that always cheer you up 🥴
• Sometimes, they can be a little rambunctious though...
• Merry will pick up on this fact quickly, and nudge Pippin to get him to calm down
• Even though it may not feel the best
• They find your syndrome absolutely fascinating!! 🤔🤔
• All in all, these two are always up for keeping your beautiful smile on your face and your spirits high!! ❤🌺

• Throughout the journey, Boromir has always found an easy way to make you smile
• After all, he himself has a fascinating way of brightening anyone's spirits
• Yours included ❤
• Boromir may not have great stories from The Shire, like Pip and Merry, but he sure has a lot of positive things to say
• He'll often suggest sparring with the two troublemaking halflings, just so you can see him goof up and get knocked over 🥺
• If the nights become cold and weary, he'll give you a warm hug or a nudge on the shoulder
• And a few words of helpful encouragement along the lines of;
• "Don't fret Y/N. You have more strength than you'll ever know."
• "Let our spirits never dampen! We've come this far!" 😊
• He's also an incredible listener
• Boromir wants to hear what you have to say if you ever need to rant or get something off of your chest
• And don't think for a second that he would ever judge you 😤
• Son of Gondor sees past all of your insecurities and knows you for your beautiful, amazing self ❤❤

• As you travel across great plains and mountains, your limp doesn't go unnoticed by Gimli
• It may take him a while to open up about it, since he's afraid he might offend you in some way
• And once he asks you, you inform him that it's a difficulty that unfortunately cannot be changed any time soon
• And where you come from, lots of people tease and bully you about it
• He did NOT handle it well 😳
• "wHAT BLUBBERING DULL-MINDED PIGNUTS-" 🤬
• Although this Dwarf is short and a bit slow at times
• He's fascinatingly strong 😳
• And so, he makes it his duty to be your designated carrier 🥺
• At first, your a tad skeptical...
• I mean, he's only around 4 feet tall...
• BUT HAVE YOU SEEN HIM THROW THAT HUGE AX AROUND?!
• Gimli will happily carry you great distances when you need a break, and even longer
• (Sometimes it's just to show off around the others-)
• "Gimli, are you sure you don't want a break?"
• "Aye lass! The strength of Dwarves is unending!" 😌
• *struggling to breathe*
• 11/10, fantastic dwarf, will never let you down!!

• Another Dwarf??
• Absolutely
• Thorin himself has trouble keeping composure with his time management (and sense of direction 🙄)
• This means that he'll have an undying amount of patience for you and you only
• There's just something about you that he fond of, and it fills in that little sassy, brooding place in his heart
• Can also relate to you whenever you grow frustrated at the setback of your journey or lack of sleep
• Is 100% willing to help you find your lost belongings (and once again, ONLY YOU)
• Thorin will literally make the whole traveling party stop so that you can put something in your bag and make sure that you put it somewhere you'll remember
• Always happy to give you extra gentle reminders of keeping your pack closed
• The company is utterly SHOCKED with how he treats you
• I mean, this man has always been extremely stubborn and hard headed
• But when you show up, it's another person he can easily relate and share frustrations with
• Also a master at organization?!? 🤔
• The one thing he could do successfully was organizing the damn journey and traveling company, so ofc he's gonna be good at that 😂
• Yeah, Thorin definitely has a soft spot for you
• King under the mountain will never run out of patience and kindness for you 😌💙

💕yes yes yes. ~ Thorin + Elrond chosen per a follow up PM. Thank you for your patience and I hope you like it!  💕

• Thorin can recognize your distress but he doesn’t initially understand what’s wrong.
• As soon as he does, if anyone’s around he’ll yell for everyone to shut up in his absolute scariest, most commanding voice (he realizes this is loud and will also apologize to you right after, but he wants everyone to pipe down and go tf away).
• Loads and loads of reassurance that he’s got you and he’s here to help in any way he can (even if he doesn’t know how).
• Will have to ask what you need, but is quick to catch on.
• Immediately making you earmuffs out of anything that’s within reach and will take you to the closest quiet spot.
• His instinct is lots of reassuring touches + affection, so if this is overwhelming for you he’ll have to apologize a lot and try very hard to stop himself. 
• Look he’d fight the sun for you if he could.
• Since he can’t actually fight the sun for how bright it is, he’ll bring you to the darkest room he can find. Again, he’ll start making adjustments to the surroundings/makeshift fixing things up. If there aren’t curtains, he’ll hang blankets or his cloak over windows to block out as much light as he can. 
• If there isn’t a room to go to/you’re outside, you best believe this guy is rigging up a tent in three seconds flat.
• If he can’t manage that, he’ll wrap you up in his hooded cloak.
• If you need to be left alone, he will reluctantly do so, and will basically just stand guard and intercept anyone who might come over to bother you.
• If you need/want him to stay with you and don’t want touch, he will find this very difficult, but will do his best to just sit near you and hang out. He’ll probably have to do something with his hands to occupy himself but will sit with you for however long you need. 
• Will definitely try to distract you with a quiet song or story if you can handle that level of sound. 
• If you need/want touch to help soothe you, he can give really good crushing hugs. The kind where you think your back is going to crack. If you need something a little softer than that, he’ll just tightly hold you and braid your hair. 
• Literally if you need/want touch you best believe that by the time you’re finally relaxed you’ll have 120550589 braids in your hair. 
• Later, he brings you a pair of proper sound-cancelling earmuffs that he invented himself and the heaviest blanket he could find. He asks you a lot of questions about what this is like for you and about what you need so that he can be better prepared to help you in the future.  💕

• Elrond recognizes what’s going on right away. He needs absolutely no explanation and will jump in to help you immediately. Nothing else matters. Even if he’s mid-conversation or on his way somewhere, he’ll stop whatever he’s doing to focus entirely on you.
• First thing’s first: damage control. He’ll immediately use Vilya to help biologically quell your distress, syncing your heartbeat and breathing patterns to his, calming down your nervous system. 
• His outer robe’s coming off. You’re being swaddled. Not optional. It’s big and heavy and velvety-soft, like the world’s best weighted blanket.
• Off you go to somewhere quiet. If you can walk that’s awesome. If you’re too overwhelmed my man is 7′ tall and so strong so he’ll just pick you up and take you somewhere dark and quiet as fast as possible. This is probably his own office, rather than the healing halls. The healing halls generally thrum with activity which can be too much noise/light/movement when you’re already overstimulated. His office is private and empty and he still has a lot of his necessary tools there. 
• As soon as you’re inside, he’ll shut the curtains and make sure you’re comfortable and then get down to your level on the floor and quietly ask what you need/how he can help. 
• He’ll ask if there are any types of sensory inputs you find soothing (specific textures, sounds, tastes, smells--- anything). If there is, he’ll immediately go source it. 
• If you need/want to be left alone, he’s happy to do that, but he’ll still check in on you/keep you swaddled/bring you calming herbal teas. 
• If you’d rather have him around and you’re okay with touch/need pressure then that’s it you are getting the best hug. 
• Like the firmest, all-around-best-kind-of-squash hug, not too much, not too little. 
• If you don’t want/can’t handle touch but don’t want to be left alone, then he’ll just quietly sit next to you and use a combination of Vilya and ósanwe to just radiate this really nice, gentle calming energy until you feel better.
• Once you’re feeling a bit better he’ll go and fetch a couple herbal remedies for muscle pain/stress/etc and get you a snack + something nice to drink.
• Literally will let you hang out with him in his office for however long you want. Tired from the overload/panic + wanna fall asleep on his reading couch? Go for it. Wanna fall asleep on him? Totally fine. He’ll hold you. 
• In the future, his office is always open to you and he makes sure you know that. It’s always quiet and peaceful, with the perfect amount of white noise coming off of the river, so it’s the perfect place when you just need somewhere quiet and safe. You can come in any time that you start to get overwhelmed, and he’ll make you something nice to drink and let you stay as long as you like.  💕
