That was a wonderful and simple explanation. It's really difficult to explain developmental disorders but this is a good one.

 

[Stevield]

Wonderful manga, but the cliffhanger is too much

 

[redsea]

That Restaurant scene was infuriating. "They didn't take my recommendation!" Like really? No one is being inconvenienced here because she still ordered food, there was literally not a single reason to be upset that she didn't like spicy shit. This goes beyond autism, because if 4/5 people want to eat at one place and I didn't like the majority of the menu but there was still something there I'd eat, I'd do the same thing too. She shouldn't have been made to apologize to that egoist.

 

[ElBichoRaro]

@redsea Mami's opinion is perfectly valid, and she was being sincere about her likes. The big problem is that there's no cure for being a narcissistic asshole like the others were towards her.

 

[Tersione]

Yep, it was pretty evident that was what she had. It'll be interesting to see how this and that bi-polar case will play out.

I appreciate that this manga does indeed intend to try and normalize seeing psychiatrists and getting mental disorders the attention they deserve.

 

[Lunararia]

This is a really interesting manga. Thank you for the translation!

 

[DunhillNeko]

Thanks for the translation. I love this manga and I love you guys for working on this.

 

[fish_with_human_face]

as a recently diagnosed autistic person, this portrayal is super accurate!

 

[CryptoParagon]

Was just checking to see if a new chapter was out, putting out information like this in as many mediums as possible is the only way society is going to learn.

Other than that I still think the shrink has a issue, just not that one.

Is this really how you find autism in a person?

 

[WhoCares]

@redsea @ElBichoRaro That one might be down to cultural differences. Japan has a huge, society-wide emphasis on social harmony, so people generally expect you to go with the group and be subtextual about your opinions rather than direct. For instance, if an acquaintance tries to invite you somewhere and you don't want to go, you are expected to hem and haw and sound unsure rather than directly state your disinterest. (And if you decide to keep the peace and go anyway, you're supposed to keep that to yourself.) "Today is a little..." or "Spicy food is a little..." The implied ending of the sentence is "problematic for me," but it goes unstated, because again, you're not supposed to be explicit about feelings that conflict with those of the person you're talking to. Going with the group to keep harmony is part of the social norms Saiga hasn't noticed. While Amano certainly did get angrier about it than was warranted, it was still a faux pas to the others; that's why they tried to get an apology from Saiga to smooth things over and keep the peace.

@redsea @ElBichoRaro I quite understand about it, although it's little bit too much for using example fried rice and spicy food, probably to show clearly how society in Japan works (indeed Japan emphasis on social harmony). It's also furiating that they invited her and not asking her first if spicy food okay for her or not, and for her ruining the atmosphere a bit, they shouldn't make her to apologise; probably because they thought she should be grateful that they invited them to have lunch together (because alone usually described as a person had problem or sucks).

It might be tmi, but once I experienced the same thing, indeed the atmosphere turned sour a bit cause my friends and I felt bad for this particular person failed to have an enjoyable lunch (no rice in japanese restaurant, very limited menu to choose) and we felt quite weird since we're friend and that person didn't say anything while we're discussing where to eat together (they didn't be excluded like her in this situation). Still no apologise was needed from both party. We asked if they're full or need to go for a snack.
For this situation, they should understand her and when the food came, they should let her taste a bit (a spoon).

Honestly I feel like I'm getting the autism getting older, or maybe its just me not giving any fucks anymore.Also, not all thai food is spicy, the other girl need to relax.

 

[ComradeVee]

Thanks for all your hard work on this series, really enjoying how this is shaping up.

From the previews it looks like there's gonna be a bit touching on stuff like

Spoiler

bipolar

so I'm really keen to see how it gets handled.

 

[oichifan39]

Did not quite appreciate the woman at the beginning getting hit with the ugly character design schtick, especially since most of characters are drawn attractively. Dunno, it just felt outta place since the rest of the manga is about treating compassionately. Still thankful it's trying to kind to people IRL. Thanks for translating this.

@mrmoooose23 yes multiple testing are a common method to find developmental disabilities. Always paired with an IQ test. Observing them and noting down what they will do is also important like say if they have low IQ is it because they have intellectual disability or because they weren’t focused while doing the test which can be ADHD.

Though you can find signs of autism as early as 6 months old you can test this when playing with the baby if they take notice of you and make eye contact people with autism doesn’t give a fuck when you are doing pick-a-boos. Of course doing it once isn’t tried and true method like maybe the baby is sleepy or wants some milk but if it always happen check a developmental pediatrician.
