Edit:

The part where Donnie doesn’t realize how loud he’s getting is SO TRUE, HALF OF THE TIME IM YELLING AND I DONT EVEN KNOW!!!

I love the ADHD/Autism solidarity. As someone with sensory issues I would just let the Kraang win, you can miss me with all that sticky goop stuff

Headcanon: Donnie’s Battle she’ll isn’t just for defense because he’s a soft shell turtle. it’s also for comfort and routine. it make him brain go “hehe am safe from the outside touchies”

As an ADHD kid myself, I stand for my autistic siblings. Neurotypicals just don’t understand how relaxing rocking back and forth is

Donnie calling himself "Vomitello" is possibly the best way of using humor to distract yourself from something disgusting and being conscious to your own responses.

you can’t improve on perfection, but boy did your editing come close. absolutely hysterical with excellent clip choices. Donnie’s library rap makes me lose it everytime

The way Donnie has such a soft spot for Mikey, he's like the only one he engages in physical affection with frequently

I love how he always sounds sassy and sarcastic, not because he's always in a deadpan snarker mode, but because it is his default voice. Me and my friend relate to it very much, I always sound like I'm being rude and condescending, and they sound like they're angry at life itself. Even though it's not usually true, I'm a rather chill duy who just doesn't have a big voice range, and they are overwhelmed 24/7.

As the older sibling, I always used to say "If I die, I will haunt you" to my younger ones whenever they wanted me to do something stupid. I really vibe with this version of Raph.

I'm glad that we are getting more Autistic characters that are low empathy without just being emotionless robots (both figuratively and literally.) But I would like to see more Autistic characters in media that lean more towards high empathy. There's a lot of different kinds of Autism and everyone kinda focuses on the low empathy variety. Also i'm a higher empathy Autistic myself. That doesn't mean I don't relate to Donnie in some ways though.

He is the most guy ever. A silly goober. A fantastic dork. Evil genius mastermind dumbass. I love him so much.

"THIS IS NOT A HUG THIS IS A RESCUE!"

As an Autistic person, I find this very accurate to the experience :)
