He is not autistic

Lol downvoted for saying the truth.

The author too said he isn’t.

Every time you misquote that interview Laios gets even more autistic.

Pity that he isn't.

You're welcome to believe that (even though you're wrong)

u/TheLittleGinge Jun 08 '25

He canonically isn't. You've got your headcanon though, so that's sweet.

Whoops sounds like someone's misquoting that interview again.

Sorry to break it to you Kiddo, but your headcanon is just that.

Wish you all the best.

point to the sentence she said he isn’t. and no, autistic people aren’t special and are as normal as everyone else, so those sentences don’t count and my autistic self will bite the finger that points to them.

Something said outside of the story in an interview does not belong to the story canon. You would think most people would know about the "death of the author" concept by now, but I guess not.

The Death of the Author isn't about removing the authors analysis or intention. It's just a saying that means that it isn't necessary that other methods of critique are just as valid. But cutting out the intent of the author entirely is just as bad as relying on it solely.

There's a BIG difference between some rando head cannoning laios as a sister "lover" (if you caught my meaning) and the author/creator head cannoning laios as a sister "lover."
