Hero/heroine > traits > neurodiverse > [let's get granular!!]

 dianatris
OKAY. So I know there's already a "neurodivergent MC" category, but it can mean SO MANY THINGS from traumatic brain injuries, to ADHD, to eating disorders to depression and grief. The MMC might have it, the FMC might have it, or they might both have different kinds.

Gimme my neurospicy in subcategories!! <3

For example:

Heroine > traits > neurodiverse > autistic-coded heroine

Hero > traits > neurodiverse > autistic-coded hero

Herox > traits > neurodiverse > autistic-coded herox

Heroine > traits > neurodiverse > depression

Hero > traits > neurodiverse > depression

Herox > traits > neurodiverse > depression

Heroine > traits > neurodiverse > anxiety

Hero > traits > neurodiverse > anxiety

Herox > traits > neurodiverse > anxiety

Heroine > traits > neurodiverse > PTSD/cPTSD

Hero > traits > neurodiverse > PTSD/cPTSD

Herox > traits > neurodiverse > PTSD/cPTSD

Heroine > traits > neurodiverse > OCD

Hero > traits > neurodiverse > OCD

Herox > traits > neurodiverse > OCD

Heroine > traits > neurodiverse > bipolar disorder

Hero > traits > neurodiverse > bipolar disorder

Heroine/Hero > traits > neurodiverse > bipolar disorder

Heroine > traits > neurodiverse > anger problem

Hero > traits > neurodiverse > anger problem

Herox > traits > neurodiverse > anger problem

Heroine > traits > neurodiverse > eating disorder

Hero > traits > neurodiverse > eating disorder

Herox > traits > neurodiverse > eating disorder

Heroine > traits > neurodiverse > grief

Hero > traits > neurodiverse > grief

Herox > traits > neurodiverse > grief

Heroine > traits > neurodiverse > ADHD

Hero > traits > neurodiverse > ADHD

Herox > traits > neurodiverse > ADHD

Heroine > traits > neurodiverse > amnesia

Hero > traits > neurodiverse > amnesia

Yes, I personally would desperately appreciate being able to filter specifically for autistic-coded MCs without also getting all the other things people might put under the existing "neurodivergent MC" category.

Note: "Neurodivergent" is the correct term when referring to a person, not "neurodiverse". A group can be diverse, but one person by themselves can't be diverse.

I wonder whether mc > circumstance could be renamed into mc > traits / circumstance as the lines between traits and circumstance could be blurry, and some people would struggle with identifying the difference and look in the wrong sections?

Other than that, I really like this list.

Only objection I have is that I personally wouldn't want to add 'high IQ MC' in general as I find the concept of an high IQ quite iffy, politically and scientifically.
