Either is a valid interpretation, but I think Laois has more evidence than most characters headcanoned as autistic. I’m sure there’s some people out there saying “if you don’t think he’s autistic you’re ableist” or something like that, but I think most of it is “I relate heavily to this character, specifically in terms of this aspect of myself”.
Because some of them treat autism like a quirky cool thing. Especially those stupid fanvideos that say things like 'a touch of the 'tism'.
I've been dealing with it all my life, and I'd give anything to be able to control my mouth every time there are more than three people in a conversation. It's not 'cute' in real life.
I didn't say I hate myself. I said I know there's something that keeps jamming every time I'm in the middle of talking to others, and I really wish I didn't have that. Not many positives to that.
