it's basically official that sangwoo is autistic isn't he? he finds it difficult to grasp the most basic social stuff - in this chapter for example he thinks going away = breaking up. he needs it to be spelled out for him.

    didnt it say in a previous chapter that it wasnt really enough to call it autism? like he got checked and it came back negative... i could be wrong
    honestly though, i dont really think he needs a "lable"

    I think he just needs experience and guidance - things spelled out to him (i.e. that they'll continue on their relationship long distance), stuff like that. It doesn't also help that he has problems voicing out things and Jaeyoung also being avoidant lol

    right, it's quite nice that jaeyoung has grown to be patient for him though

    i have to recheck and apparently the novel does expound on this.

    misdiagnosis happens. all the things he does really screams autistic to me ngl. yeah he doesn't need to be labeled but it explains a lot of tendencies he has - sticking to routines, hyperfixation on special interests, issues with social cues, etc.

    Right like all his habits and the way he thinks rlly seems like he’s on the spectrum.. I don’t know why ppl are kinda taking offense to that

    yea i get that too.
    i think hes probably on the spectrum too but seeing as hes honestly doing fine in his life and jaeyoung is alright with it, hes chill, he dont need the doctors or whatever. i feel like itll kinda make everything more serious and like become a big part of the story if he gets a diagnosis, and itll make the whole theme change or something. i do agree with u tho about his symptoms

    i mean, what im trying to say is like, who really cares if hes autistic because thats not really the main idea. like idrc if hes autistic, or if he isnt, because hes cute either way and hes figuring out life. im not taking offence in anything but that's just my opinion

    I think the og commenter was just pointing out that sangwoo is autistic and it how shows not rlly that there has to be episodes directly explaining his autism or diagnosis. It’s rlly just part of his character.
