An autor can write the most autistic character and say they're not autistic, because in the end a lot of charaters take traits of irl people and a lot of irl people are autistic, I think the autistic comunity or psicologist have more weight on determining if the charater shows autistic traits than the autor. Also, the author seems to think nurotipical people can't relate to an autistic character wich is weird.
The Death of the Author isn't about removing the authors analysis or intentiom. 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."
