fair enough, but isn’t there also a possibility that it isn’t autism? unless the author said so themselves… not that I have an issue or am trying to avoid the possibility of him having autism but it’d be kinda weird to assume he’s autistic because he’s a little different/special from others.
Although I guess(?) it’d somewhat make sense if that was the reason he’d kept having appointments (if his parents wanted to see some progress in his behaviour or whatever) but what would that have to do with needing to be kept away from others? and there’s always a possibility of it being something else…. Also, unless I’m wrong, wasn’t the appointments more so something similar to therapy?

Well yeah ofc that's why I started the post with "I wonder if it was autism" LOL because I think it heavily points to it but it's def possible it isn't and tbh likely that it isn't going to be said outright because autism is still very taboo and misunderstood by a lot of people in the world. I do know parents that have sort of hidden their child away and tried to somehow cure their kids from autism which isn't possible so I also felt like that could be another reason it's a possibility.
Very VERY few characters in general have been confirmed to have autism even though there are dozens of characters that people with autism heavily relate to and are sure do have it
I wonder if little A's condition was autism
