Neurodivergent-Coded Characters

Evermanga

Create: 2024-06-27 Last update: 2025-10-27

Works from any genre with characters that are coded as neurodivergent (probably mostly ADHD and ASD, since I'm both myself & know more about them, but I do want to expand). If I find decent canonical depictions of neurodivergent characters I'll include those as well. These are mostly armchair diagnoses & just going off my own judgment/interpretation as a neurodivergent person.

Man literally devoted his life to his special interests until they killed him, then woke up determined to keep doing them. Basically "what if you put a very intelligent, bullheaded autistic engineer nerd in charge of a developing nation, and let him bully his neurotypical ministers towards progress?" A fantastic read.

By god is the MC in this modern therapist-crossdressing streamer x doctor romcom ADHD-coded for the comedy! He's distractable, hyperfixated, forgetful, excitable, and yet oddly perceptive.
