Neurodivergent/ Differently Abled BL Leads

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.

I didn’t like this one. Uke has disassociative identity disorder after trauma.

The human guy certainly has a lot of trauma, but I also think he presents as someone with BPD.

I haven’t actually read this one, but based off the title and the trauma described in the description, I’m willing to bet it belongs on this list.

Daisuke has nightmares every night about an accident he got into when he was a kid. He can't fall asleep without physical contact with another person. But, all he needs is a friend with benefits, not a lover. Or, so he thought... One day, he meets Riku, the little brother of his friend Kengo, the only guy who supports him and understands his past.

This will be a polarizing story that people either love or hate. I’m not sure if the two MC‘s both are autistic coded or just have social processing disorders, but they’ve got something.
In junior high, Aikou had a crush on his tutor that ended badly. Now in high school, he's joined a "kiss club" at a local bar to try and relearn about love starting with the basics. While holding up a "free kisses" sign in the park one day, he's spotted by Eisuke, a boy from his school.

Seme certainly has a lot of trauma and uke is blind. This story is very precious and I really liked the art.

Seme is either incredibly sheltered, or neurodivergent, or I guess both.

Okumura's first impressions of his new coworker were 'hardworking but untrustworthy', but he didn't realize, he was actually helplessly cute…

Uke is autism coded, seme has serious trauma. Super cute.
Baek Dohu’s a university student who writes BL novels on the side. And his preferred type of top character? The scumbag kind, who treats their partners like crap. And Dohu’s first impression of Seo Juheon is the complete opposite: the typical nice-guy—always smiling, always catering to the needs of those around him. But the real Juheon is a polar opposite from the facade he puts up.

Says seme has OCD but from what I’ve read, seems like a bad representation of Mysophobia.
