Isn’t the mage, just a disabled person ?

I have only read 25 c (and dropped), so, maybe later the mage is described as another manipulative pervert, but in what i saw he just felt a disabled person.
Doesn’t it seems like he has some mental deficiency ? or at least being « atypical «?  He described or seen as having a lack of emotion, lack of self control, displaying very childish or autistic behaviors, and having very inappropriate responses to his surroundings, etc,
It also never felt like he was playing around, but more like he was both naive and sincere all the way. That seems like mental impairment to me ?
I could also think that he has some physical disability because he is prone to dangerous accidents (magic explosion)

That’s probably what makes me really feel bad about this story : the way the story is told is all about her being a victim, but i don’t understand, how it’s also brings so much hate upon him, for being something he never chose to be.
It’s all right poor her. I won’t deny. I do think of a few children one can really pity for having a sibling so sick, that they too, will never have a normal childhood. It’s hard and terribly unfair. But who would ever think of blaming the sick that situation ?

I don’t know if you have people with a disabled kid in your surroundings, but shifting responsibility to other kis is going to happen whether the adults push or not.
Brothers, sisters and friends, classmates are going to learn to live with it too, because another child with special needs is going to take a lot of efforts to manage or to take care of. They will change and adapt too.
It might seem unfair to carry such responsibility, but maybe this is also about how humans care about each others. Any of us could also one day, end up with such disability. So shouldn’t we write or talk about this type of subject with a more benevolent heart ?
It’s unfair and overwhelming if just one person is in charge, this is so true. But the answer certainly doesn’t lie in blaming the sick? Isn’t compassion is a better option, so that in never has to becomes just one person burden?

I am sorry, i know a lot of children and young adults with disabilities, from minor to truly catastrophic. I am truly schoked by the way the author is playing with her characters.

Peace everyone
