Days since departure: two thousand nine hundred and twenty one
The funny thing about all this
Is the choice I made echoes so much
My time aboard this train.
I am choosing to live
And in doing so I might be choosing to die
But staying in place is not an option
Since you chose him
And I let you.
So love each other deeply
(Like we never could)
Face the track bravely
And maybe, love, we'll meet again
Beneath a sunny sky.
These pages I leave for you
By way of a goodbye.

i don't really like when people say dungeon meshi is accidentally good autistic representation, because while i understand not wanting to make conclusions without explicit confirmation from the author, there's always the weird assumption that non-western authors somehow don't know about things like neurodivergency/queerness/etc. (on top of the assumptions that east asian authors are somehow more naive or oblivious to "western" social issues).
given that dungeon meshi started being published in 2014, it's not really a "work belonging to its times"—it's as contemporary as any other media we discuss on this site, which means it should be fair to assume it engages with contemporary topics (and at the very least, you shouldn't say that the representation is accidental with so much confidence)
but anyways, the chapter "perfect communication" in ryoko kui's "terrarium in a drawer" is some of the most straightforward autistic representation I've seen, and from now on I'm going to assume that laios's character writing is absolutely intentional in that regard:
