My essay on why I think shinobu kochou is neurodivergent

Number 1

Look at her. There’s no way that her face says anything about her is neurotypical

Number 2

Masking emotions

This point doesn’t really need explaining lol

Number 3

In the official kny fan book it says shinobu views love quite scientifically, like heart rates, blood pressure, brain responses, etc.

Some small things to mention is that giyuu said she didn’t like fluffy animals and the fact she has a goldfish as a pet id like to think it’s somewhat true :)

Also she enjoys talking to giyuu, a fellow neurodivergent, and I’d like to think they’re each other’s comfort people :))

Also I can see a bit of hyperfixation but there’s not too much canonical evidence that I know of to prove my point, just headcanons lol.

If there’s anything else I didn’t mention feel free do tell! I welcome any dialogue that isn’t toxic or mean <33

Edit from like over a year later lol:

Something I forgot to mention is that neurodivergence is a spectrum and can be presented in many different ways! Everyone is different!

Also specifying I'm neurodivergent and I still very much stand by the fact that Shinobu is in some way neurodivergent, but I don't want to cause any harmful views of people who are neurodivergent. No one has called me out or anything but l'm oh so paranoid and want to be sure I'm representing my community well!

I've been back and forth with taking this post down, but have decided to just reword some things that came off in a way I didn't intend. If I caused any harm by this post please let me know and l'll be sure to take action to correct it

Thank you for coming to my ted talk, hope you have a wonderful day!
