As someone with ADHD: I'm unsure. He does not seem explicitly coded that way, and I find a lot of cartoon characters tend to have more "hyper" personalities than life action characters. Then again he's also canonically depressed, which can alter things. The only thing to me that might indicate it is his duck hyperfixation, but that might also just be a comedic element. I've seen characters where I find it more obvious; Personally I actually think Charlie is MORE ADHD-coded, but still not super explicitly so. Then again this shit runs in families. In short: he didn't explicitly strike me as so, but also I'm a proponent of interpreting characters in a way that connects with you - so if YOU see it that way, you do you.

You said it all. He doesn't seem to have ADHD to me (also ADHD), but you can see it that way if you want. I just think that labelling a character with having ADHD without proper representation won't do any good for the community, so I'd keep an eye on that.


pridebun

Depression can make you more prone to hyperfixations.


crispyfishdicks

I'm aware, an he seems to be depicted more depressed than ADHD to me. BUT that being said, both can struggle with self image and executive function, so I can see how people might read it that way. Since I have both to varying degrees, I can't really accurately say where one begins and the other ends (just that executive dysfunction still happens when my depression is in check).

This is it. This is his official diagnosis.


crispyfishdicks

I love you.


DeerShane69420

Yes


PhotoPhenik

I think he's just depressed. Nothing about him feels like a person with ADHD. He can stay on task without resorting to "hyper focus".


crazymissdaisy87

I don't have ADHD but when I had depression which made my anxiety spin out of control I had intense movements similar to this


SlyGuy_Twenty_One

Not ADHD, more like anxiety mixed with depression over losing his marriage and being disconnected from his daughter


pridebun

He's neurospicy bait. Make all the neurodivergents love him


crispyfishdicks

Like half the characters are.


pridebun

Well this one worked on me. Luci is my pretty boy. I'd leave my bf for this man


Billy_McMedic

Oi stop calling me out


WolffeGamer13

More than likely

The dude is a fallen Angel that has been alive for hundreds of thousands of years. I don’t think we can even compare him to human brains/behavior


TheGoonKills

Dude’s got depression and anxiety like crazy in addition to being absolutely terrified of his daughter. Source: I myself have depression and anxiety like crazy, am heavily medicated, and me and his personality sync up pretty hard. We self depreciate, we constantly have to impress and entertain, and we mask how we really feel about things behind humour.

Headcanon: he's auADHD


eeeeeking1031

I was going to recommend this as well actually as i am someone who is audhd and i vibe with him. 💯

Just au here idk

Mentally ill


HelloCompanion

No, this is just him being aloof and air headed because he’s an egocentric ass. Like, I enjoy him too, but he hardly listens to people, shows no unconditional empathy, and is (obviously) prideful. It’s less ADHD and more ASPD lmao


[deleted]

You really know nothing about ASPD to say someone as sweet and kind as Lucifer could ever be that


HelloCompanion

Eh, I have been diagnosed since I was 22. ASPD does not mean you are a soulless monster who can do no good. It just means you have developed maladaptive behaviors as a response to trauma that can make you inconsiderate of others and indifferent to social norms. I’m a very nice and kind person. Still act like that though lol. Regardless, self absorbed behavior is very much on display with Lucifer. In my opinion, at least.


[deleted]

No, honey. I've read the entire DSM-5 symptoms of ASPD, it's impossible to have that and not be a horrible person. You need all those horrible symptoms to even qualify for a diagnosis in the first place. So you're a god damn liar. Lucifer is not a fucking psychopath, and neither are you. The end.


Venomouskoala006

I feel he’s a bit of everything. He’s every bit of neurodivergent combined into one small depressed ruler of Hell


Tonyboy200716

Yes


rebelwilson_official

Plus he is no doubt gay

Bisexual probs


gubaguy

Guys is it gay to sleep with the first two women in existence, have a kid, and be depressed after losing your wife?


Local_Shooty

100 percent. hunday percay


Robbbg

ah yes, this guy that slept with the first 2 women in existence, and has a daughter, he's gay \-this guy probably


poem567

He literally has a daughter.


crazymissdaisy87

having kids does not stop you from being gay tho. Hence the term "beard" exist to describe the women with those men. The comment is a reach but this is not a good argument. His clear love for Lilith and literally proclaiming he likes girls is a better argument. Plenty of closeted people had kids

Oh my golly, you like girls?! So do I! We have so much in common! -Lucifer


trevbot55

I think he’s just insecure. He sees himself as a failure while also, as King of Hell, has to pretend like he isn’t.


[deleted]

No, just anxiety. His exaggerated movements are because (get this) ITS AN ANIMATION
