the greatest narrative on autism in dungeon meshi is the way the story handles laios' relationships with other people
he's kinda insensitive and gets easily hyperfocused on what interest him, to the point even namari who never thought of him as a bad person didn't have the most stellar impression of him
but as the story progresses, as laios is put in situations that needs him to thoroughly communicate with others, even the reveal of shuro's distaste of him becomes an important part of his character growth
but this isn't a one way street where laios learns to be "palatable" to neurotypicals
this is a story of how people accepts that laios is different, and adjusts their interactions with him to suits his needs, the same way laios who left his village because he was disgusted by how they treated his sister, who ran away from the military due to his refusal to conform to the norm, became a king of a nation where multiple races live not in a total harmony, but in mutual understanding
Again, the panel where Laios gets down on all fours and barks like a dog is everywhere, but not the following panel where he gets so into his role he fucking lunges at the Illusion Wolf WITHOUT DRAWING HIS SWORD???? LIKE HE WAS JUST GOING TO TEAR ITS THROAT OUT WITH HIS TEETH AND BARE HANDS?????
desperately wants to know if laios and falin's parents are ever going to find out that their weird as fuck irresponsible son is a king now
i can see the autistic power siblings just forget to tell them even if falin sends them letters because there are more important things to mention like laios getting food poisoning again
I have this video for the long time making, in 3 language. German, English and Japanese with eng sub titles. the orginally language is german. i hope you like it.
