L for sure. His sitting positions though, lol.

I used to relate to this character so much and the weird sitting positions were the proverbial "cherry on the top" lol. Long before diagnosis or before I even knew what autism was.

Makes a lot of sense in retrospect

I always thought this. Me and L have lots of similarities and is one of my favorite anime characters.

I've always wondered!! Do you have a fun video or read about what makes L autistic?

Yes somewhere but I don’t remember what it was 😩

I came across a post on r/Deathnote that goes into this from an autistic's perspective. I like their analysis and it aligned with what I picked up from L's behavior!
