The neurodivergent reading for Laios is so interesting as a person with Autism myself. It’s a large part of what makes me love the series so much. Short 🧵. MANGA spoilers ahead, of course. *.*.*.*.*.

Laios is almost certainly on the spectrum. He’s oblivious to social cues, struggles with communicating his desires, and often feels isolated from the world due to one reason or another. So many little things in his behavior are reflective of the neurodivergent experience.

-Laios’ obsession is shown to be rooted in many of the painful, every day experiences of neurodivergent individuals. A reading people often make of Laios is that he utterly hates humanity and wants nothing to do with it. They take the words of the Winged Lion at face value.

However, I think the strongest piece of evidence for this reading is his hyperfixation on monsters and what exactly it represents for him. Even ignoring how many people on the spectrum will relate to having a weird, obsessive desire even your friends will mock you for-.

The Winged Lion preys on insecurities and fears. It purposely twists what people wants for its own benefit; trapping them in delusions it weaves for its own benefit. To take anything it says at face value, especially when there’s much evidence to the contrary, is questionable.
1
22

Instead, I think the reason Laios loves monsters (besides just finding them cool) is because they’re fundamentally much easier to understand than people.

There’s always something to live for. There’s always things we can do to be happy. There's always value to be found in something as simple as enjoying a meal with friends, even if the world around us makes no sense.

Monsters are simple, easy to comprehend, and lack the nuance of the world he can't really comprehend. Monsters are just animals after all and animals pretty much never have the capacity to think about anything other than where their next meal is coming from.
1

In a lot of ways, this is easier for Laios to relate to. He’s an honest person who often talks and acts solely on his desires, especially for food, even when it weirds out other people.
1
22
1K
I think instead it makes more sense to view this as what Laios is afraid of being the basis for his obsession. A fear of himself that he is gaslit into believing.

It is his desire to be closer to the simplicity of the monsters in the dungeon while still maintaining his ability to maintain relationships. After all, the final thing the succubus says to convince him is that all his friends had already turned and were happy in this state.

An often overlooked piece of characterization is what the succubus shows his greatest desire. While it is played somewhat for comedy, it’s interesting to note what it displays. Not the ability to turn Laios into an unthinking monster, but a hybrid.

He so often helps people when he doesn't need to and shows off a genuinely benevolent nature, even when something is detrimental to him. His ending as a character is fundamentally built around this singular idea after all.

I think there's something to be said about just how badly Ferris and Crusch's relationship is misportrayed by the general fandom.

He can't understand people, but he does his best to empathize with them anyway. Just like many people on the spectrum, he has to try so hard every day to make connections even when it sometimes seems impossible.
1
22
858
Despite his own doubts and insecurities, despite sometimes feeling like he isn’t human at all, Laios clearly cares a lot about the people around him, something a monster does not have the capacity to do. This extends to even the people he's just met like the orcs or Kabru.
1

849
But just like how struggles to relate to other people in real life don’t make people on the spectrum “lesser” as people, Laios’ struggles do not make him any less fundamentally human.

We’re often fetishized, mocked, or infantilized for our differences no matter how much we try to push past them or how much we come to accept ourselves. It's depressing. It's frustrating. It's alienating. At your worst it makes you sometimes wish you weren't human at all.

The simple pleasures of life like spending time with his friends, wasting away days with his sister, and, of course, cooking are things not beyond him. Even if he can’t fully overcome that disconnect he feels, he's able to enjoy the here and now.

771
He values his relationships an the simple moments in life above all else. This often gets him exploited, but he still keeps working past it no matter what occurs.
1
12
768
And well. I think that's something I and a lot of neurodivergent people can relate to. Life is often difficult for people like me. There are so many dreams that are inherently harder for us to accomplish, so many customs we don't understand, and so many people we don't get.
2

759
Technically, Laios never gets to live out his greatest desires. He's forced to live a life taking care of the inane demands of society he doesn’t really get…. But he's still able to find happiness despite that.
1
14
753
But that doesn't mean we should just deny the simple pleasures of life around us. That doesn’t mean we should roll over and give into the despair of an overwhelming force that can’t ever truly be defeated; an all-consuming maw that literally strips away who we are.

With how hard it is to change society’s views on people like us, it’s also likely that those feelings will continue to exist. Change takes a long time after all, and a society that doesn’t make us feel like that feels so, so far away.

It’s so funny to me that some people actually think Tappei hates Subaru because he puts him through so much. I would argue that’s proof of the exact opposite. The fact that Tappei gives Subaru so much time and development is proof of his investment in Subaru’s character.

I think what made Choose Me work so well and distances it from many scenes of a similar nature is that, ultimately, Beatrice and Subaru save each other. This isn't a one-sided ordeal where Subaru comes out the shining hero, making it feel more honest and personal. Thread Time!.
