Is Sangwoo on the autism spectrum?

Does anyone feel like he was written like he's on the spectrum??? The thing with the seat, being bad with faces and social cues, overcalculating, rigid routine... It's the first time I've come across a character like him in a webtoon I'm really excited about it! And if anyone who's on the spectrum reads this, please correct me if I'm wrong!

    It’s possible but it’s also probable that he’s just so,done who likes things their way and doesn’t remember things that have little value to them, plus he’s a bit rude. I know tons of people like that and I’m like that in some ways

    I do think he is, my friend (he's in that spectrum) altho he's very smart he gets irritated almost every time when shits don't go his way like even a small grammatical error shit he wont let it go. (from the novel) Sang woo also suffers from grammar pedantry syndrome. He gets extremely annoyed by grammatical mistakes even with text emojis so they usually gets in to fight with it. Sometimes he's a tsundere and sometimes he's like dog in heat who can't get enough lmao

    Maybe yeah! He did mention that he had ocd-type behaviors but the doctor said they didnt qualify as a disorder.

    That's an actual syndrome? I had no idea. I also feel like a lot of his behaviors are typical of how writers portray autism in media, kinda like Sheldon Cooper or Shaun Murphy ( from The Good Doctor). This story is great tho, Sangwoo feels like an actual authentic and flawed main character, which is soooo rare in BL.

    He probably is BUT ***Spoiler from the novel***

    He acts the way he does because he was brought up that way by his mother who he takes after. They think and act the same which is hilarious!

    I had that feeling as well! Seems his dad is chill but his mom is a bit cold and calculating too. Thanks! I'd love to read the novel but I doubt they have an english translation :/

    Just as I expected! Sometimes the lines between some peoples behavior and the spectrum blurs!
