Right? Honestly, “HSP” is just a dated way to call someone autistic, it was a label used for autistic individuals especially in the 90s before they knew more about the spectrum. I’m guessing it may be used as an official label in Japan. So in my head, this guy is definitely there. Kinda cool, really. He’s so freakin’ relatable. I love him
definitely on the spectrum 100%!!! this is the closest ive ever read for realistic autistic rep.. unlike the usual "he acts like a robot and is antisocial" typa characterization. still a little disheartened how the mc defended hsp for not being an "illness".. japanese media will get there some day.. i hope..!
But it isn't an illness, why shouldn't he be defensive about that?
a symptom of neurodivergence lol
oh my god??? as someones whos always bothered by little things this felt so close to home.. mc might be autistic and have ocd bc of how implied it is, and i just love how the author conveys his discomfort so much!! like how he felt when he was walking thru a pile of mud because how stressed he was coming home after work. contrastingly, the next day, he received a letter by chiyo-san and it comforted him so much!!!! i need them to develop their relationship already AGH
