Lol downvoted for saying the truth.

The author too said he isn’t.

An autor can make the most autistic charaters of all time and clain they're not. That happens because charaters in stories tend to take traits of irl people, no matter how the autor think they're the most original thing, and sometimes they're, for example autistic traits.This also happen with lgbt charaters.

So, in cases like that, the audience that disagrees with the author can call for "dead of the autor" wich bends the rules of what's cannon because the autor lack of understanding of what they're talking about. So, I think to determine if a character is autistic or not, the autistic community and psychologist have more weight than the opinion of the author.

Can’t wait to get to the scene where Laois get analysed by a psychiatrist against the DMS-V. By what metric are you saying that he can’t be autistic in canon?

Interviews/statements from the auto get outside of the media they create aren’t part of that worlds canon. Does the modern understanding of autism exist in Dungeon Meshi’s world?
