Well, to be more specific, both Laios and Falin are autistic coded. Should also point out that Kabru is also autistic coded. And one of the best thing about this series is that they are all different depictions of the autism spectrum. Laios has trouble reading social cues and has a hyperfixation on monsters, Kabru masks himself and studies others (humanity might be his hyperfixation as opposed to Laios' hyperfixation on monsters), and Falin has many of the same traits as Laios, though she is treated differently due to her being a woman (the study of autism in women is not nearly as well researched as it is in men, sometimes due to how we as a society perceive women and what we think is appropriate behavior, most don't get officially diagnosed until they are adults). This series does a really good job having its understanding of autism be multifaceted, including how it can clash between different cultures (the Eastern culture in this world tends to function on understanding social cues and norms, which for a character like Laios, he won't understand unless you are being direct with him).
