Is just me that feels like he is a bit on the spectrum? I lot of inverse characters note that he is a bit odd compared to kids of the same age, and the way he hs a very "robotic" view of things are a bit odd for a kid. Well thats make hes character a bit unique and fun to read when paired with someone kinda difficult like Shina

I wouldn't go so far as to say he's on the spectrum, more so that he's just really strict on himself to appear more mature since he trying to get his crush to like him and doesn't want to do anything that could color her view on him.

Psychology student here, and yeah, limited social skills, poor emotion recognition and a basically no filter are all pretty good signs he has autism. Its a really good portayal though suprised this only has 7.9 stars here

Can confirm this since I am on spectrum myself, I acted pretty much almost exactly like him back as a kid.

Social cues go WOOSH.

He and one of her friends switched places between pages, so I figured she would latch onto him when she got scared.

I see him act pretty natural. Oh shit, maybe i too, autism

 

[Coldlight]

TBF, I too didn't expect that she had friends. Well, now at least her life in school isn't as bad as I thought it was.

 

[Notadmeraldondo]

The stills where he is just blankly staring are always so amusing.

 

[kuma]

maybe because people prefered kid in secondary school act like high school kids who can just go and bang your cute girl next door talk to a girl they like and they become couple instantly 💀

 

[Kiireyy]

well shit i just discovered last year that i am on the level 2 autism, shit is so ironic that you cant make that up

ADHD here, which is tangential to the spectrum, but I've also been said to have high-functioning autism at one point in my life by a professional. Can confirm, his behavior feels familiar. I was also extremely slow and dense emotionally during my schooling. I never developed an overt crush at the time (my first crush was in my mid-20s, eventually panned out into a legit relationship for a few years in my late-20s), and my high school years were spent surrounded by dudes in an all-boys school so never socialized with girls regularly around that time, outside of my sisters (I have three older ones) and their friends.

There was one time when a girl classmate from the combination elementary-middle school I went to invited me to a 'mixer' dance at her high school, and spent the evening with her and a few other girl classmates I remembered from the same school, but that was about it. Looking back, I kinda wished I had been more accepting of her boldness to ask me to that dance, and maybe tried to reciprocate the apparent feelings with some dates afterwards. I only agreed to it under the idea we were going as friends, but I feel like I could have at least tried to see if I could feel the same as she likely did. Missed opportunities.

To be fair, there's more factors than just autism and ADHD to my lack of emotional development- there was a failure in paternal rearing, for sure. My sisters and I suffered a lot. But I've already rambled enough about things in a random comment thread. No need to go on about family drama.


Anyway... is she sure she didn't jump on him on purpose? I kinda feel like she doth protest too much. I mean, sure, it was a reactionary thing, but I think her subconscious clung to him instead of the friend on the other side for a reason.

Also, I think he's overestimating how much Shia actually sees. The narrator has been proven unreliable. Just because he thinks she's very observant doesn't mean she actually is- she might have been paying special attention to him and what he's been wearing because it's him. But It's not like a character to jump to that kind of conclusion about their own chances- that'd be too convenient. Though it's not like he needs that to shore up courage- he's been confessing that he likes her without much issue, it's just she still doubts he really likes the real her, or all of her.

Suddenly I just understood why I relate to the MC a lot.
