Ok, I am on ep 3 already and why do I get the idea that the ML is literally autistic?? He shows a lot of autistic traits such as sensory sensitivity, high pattern recognition, hypervigilance, social awkwardness, having his own safe space, being comfortable on his own/eating alone, having a very organised house/workspace, always imposing on "block" rule/boundary, being very particular/picky about his surroundings, being at more at peace while in nature etc. Not a real trait, but also being a cat owner/being comfortable with animals more than with humans can also be an ND trait thing. 

I am not entirely sure why he  is labelled just as "super sensitive" or why his hypervigilence/empathy level are ccalled "a super skill" but at least they're trying to show him in a good light and not just as a weirdo who likes dinosaurs/marine life?? Yes, ASD is a spectrum... not all of us are like Woo Young Woo, the brother from "It's ok noto be ok" or the kid from "Move to heaven". It's a pity we don't have much representation as high functioning autistics. We exist too...

Any thoughts on this, guys?

He is not really sensory sensitive. He is emotionally sensitive. And all the other behaviors are results of his emotional sensitivity and picking up emotional clues. The reason for his behavior is because he understands emotions of others on a highly detail manner, compared to people with ASD who mostly struggle with picking up social clues and other people's emotions (of course, like any spectrum of any kind, it varies from person to person). The core of behavior of person who is an "empath" (not really yet scientific term but whatever) and ASD is completely different, but the result - the observable behaviors, can be the similar. That's why comprehensive differential diagnosis is important because many things share similar observable symptoms that you need to then figure out the source of.
