yeah if u think of the main cast as a neurodivergent bunch of kids who become friends because they’re drawn to saiki it totally makes sense. He’s a neurodivergent person who simultaneously fakes being normal perfectly and also doesn’t hide it at all

the ~ideal~ neurodivergent. lol. everyone can tell, and also no one cares and he isn’t judged for being weird. People get the strangest sense that there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to saiki. other ND kids get that sensation twofold and find themselves inexplicably drawn to him.

he can and has literally rewritten reality so he appears less weird. and it isn’t always a good thing… but that’s discussion for another day I guess

#all the maim characters play w the idea of #what it means to be normal #either going against it or conforming to it #but none of these kids are actually normal really #maybe mera. she’s just trying to survive. lol #tfw the author writes depth into the hyperbole archetypical characters and accidentally makes a bunch of good complex ND characters #akxiaoksksk lol #that and/or he’s using his own experience #and knows exactly what he’s doing #but that’s all speculation #I prefer to be kept guessing. authorial intent here doesn’t actually matter so much #but I am pretty sure some of it is int #intentional
