idc, just keep your headcanon to yourself because i don't care how you want to characterize them as because it's probably not even canon in any way, shape, or form and god forbid a male be nurturing in nature without there being something wrong with him. also he does not come off that way at all and this sounds more like projecting, considering that's what it seems all headcanons are, projecting.

Wow, that's a little harsh! I'm pretty neurotypical and one of the things I enjoyed most about Gay Swimswam was how the cast really seemed not to be. In the second series it definitely came off as intentional. I started to think about it a lot, and highly recommended the show to a friend who isn't really into anime. I wanted him to see Haru struggle with (blatant) depression and anxiety and come out on top. My agender girlfriend identifies strongly with Rin, whose dress sense, motivations, movements and emotions seem to put him right down the middle, genderwise. I strongly sympathise with Nagisa, who doesn't fit in and plays it off as being ~sooooo funloving~ but is probably a bit insecure with all that? Like, he's genuinely like that, but he's not sure how and when to tone it down? I love that. I think IRL he'd be very likely to be taking ADHD meds. Rei is just. blatantly. BLATANTLY on the autistic spectrum. That's what's so fun and loveable about him! His very mild dysfunction, his slight failures to recognise other people's motivation, despite really clearly caring a lot? Like how he manages to get poached onto a swimming team WITHOUT EVER MENTIONING THAT HE CAN'T SWIM. God I love Rei.

So anyway, I felt too close to or sympathetic towards Mako to be able to put my finger on anything that might be unusual about the way he thinks. I certainly think PTSD fits very strongly, and I very much like your feelings about OCD, OP - I don't have much personal experience with the disorder, so I wouldn't have guessed, but I like it a lot! And I absolutely think the neurodiversity of the show was intentional.

I love how this comment pretends that in a Japanese series created for an specific niche (a not-small niche, but niche anyway) characters aren't given quirks for the sake of making them amusing or lovable for the audience, but it's done with an ample awareness of mental issues.

But I guess that would get in the way of projecting and seeing what you want to see.
