Will Graham * How I feel about this character = In S1, I was fascinated by Will's almost supernatural empathy abilities but it bothered me that Will wasn't a proactive character, but a character who was dragged around and victimized by others. I'm digging the scrappy self-possessed S2 Will so much more ( ... )

Something about them I consider true, even though it's only my head canon/fanon = Is it canon that Will has some form of autism? I have a vague memory of this but I don't know if it was confirmed. Either way I've always felt that Dancy is putting autistic touches into his characterization of Will.

Jack asked Will in their first scene together if Will is on the spectrum. Will says he's closer to autism/aspergers than to a psychopath. And Hugh Dancy definitely plays him like he's on the autism spectrum ( the no eye contact thing, uncomfortable interacting with other people). However, it's more a defence mechanism for Will than truly being on the spectrum. It's his way of dealing with this 'empathy disorder' - distancing himself from human contact. Noticed that in season 2, Will has less trouble making eye contact? I think he's growing more confident.

Will he's this peculiar little man in grandpa clothes

lol!!
