Just learned about this series after watching the first episode of the anime, and I'm already preemptively claiming the protagonist for the autists. Flat affect? Check. Social difficulties both despite and exacerbated by her perfectionism and logical thinking? Check. She has all the signs of a classically autistic-coded character - but ofc I'll remove her from the list if she doesn't fit after I read more of it.

It's my list so I can include a song rec if I want, fight me. The Japanese song "Bouningen" (aka "Stick Figure") by RADWIMPS is an incredibly neurodivergent-coded song and gives me a lot of feelings.

Great depiction of an autistic meltdown!

cw: depicts depression, suicidal ideation & attempts, self harming behavior, violent meltdowns, child abuse, bullying.

While outdated terminology is used, as the title suggests, the FL is autistic, and the protagonist and at least one side character are also neurodivergent. All canonically! I'm still in the middle of reading this but so far it really does a good job showing how different neurodivergent ppl can be, and how trauma can effect us in different ways.
