Autistic-Coded Main Character

All queer :)

Based on how much I relate to them lol. Explicitly autistic support characters follow at the end. We don't yet have any explicitly autistic main characters in queer dramas.

For shows with disability representation see this list: link

For shows with a mentally ill main character, see this list: link

    Aromantic asexual, not gay.

    9/10 autistic coded, the guy. Very relatable. That dead-pan delivery, strong sense of justice following his own logic, not society's, etc.

    Autistic-coded character in secondary couple. 10/10 definitely autistic, her girlfriend accepting her as the weirdo she is made me cry.

    Ongsa in the main couple also has some autism vibes, but not enough for me to call her autistic coded.
