Adventures in Autism
Anime
Animes with autistic main characters (that specifically focus on their autistic traits).
(Some of these are more ADHD, but for the sake of simplicity we're putting them under the umbrella together)
There's lots of different genres to choose from here! I tried to order them like that, but to make it more clear I'll add more info to them later <3

What if one guy's autism was strong enough to change the entire world? Samurai Flamenco is here to answer that question.
Very hard to pin a genre on, just know that if you love tokusatsu, superheroes and magical girls, you're in the right place. Can get a bit dark at times.
