“Neurodivergent” is social term, not a medical one, for someone who is not “neurotypical”. Neurodivergent could include a person with ADHD, Autism, anxiety, OCD, etc.
This list will include stories where a form of neurodivergence is either diagnosed or scripted. “Scripted” means a character is written in a way that portrays a form of neurodivergence but it isn’t acknowledged or diagnosed.
** disclaimer ** I would never want to misdiagnosed someone. neurodivergent is not a medical term.

One of the MC’s younger sister is nonverbal and possibly on the spectrum. I’m adding it to this list because she is the leading side character, and his caring for her is a major plot of the story. Jiang Cheng, an accomplished student, was "exiled" to the steel mill where his biological father worked. This strange, foreign environment, coupled with his rather vulgar biological father, caused Jiang Cheng to feel quite depressed, that is, until one day, he met Gu Fei, the "Delinquent of the Steel”.
