Love how Maomao isnt the 'spawned out of the ether' kind of autistic you often see in media. She is very clearly the daughter of two autistic (& otherwise neurodivergent) people. As well as having, at the very least, an autistic grand uncle.

Like thats some real autistic rep right there. Got a family history of autism, accociated trauma and all. I love it.

#realising her dad had face blindess and both her parents were traumatised (likely low empathy) autistics. like yeah damn that tracks #also her grand uncle / dad who stepped up. that is an autistic man right there #kusuriya no hitorigoto #mao mao #the apothecary diaries #Happy autism awareness / acceptance month everybody #Like hands up who has stories of an eccentric family member in the family history who was totally autistic in hindsight
