Sadly, the author recently came forward with important details that totally disproved a prominent fan theory, leaving most of the fandom very upset and disappointed.
Delicious in Dungeon‘s Author shuts down Laios’s autism theory
Since the beginning of the manga, fans believed Laios was autistic due to his intense obsession with monsters and difficulty with social interactions. By the time the anime aired, this theory was widely accepted as canon.
Laios being autistic has long been one of the most discussed theories among theDelicious in Dungeonfandom.
During aninterview at Anime Expo 2024, the series creator Ryoko Kui provided a definitive clarification on Laios’ autistic traits.

When asked if Laios is autistic, particularly regarding his argument with Shuro over Falin, Ryoko Kuiexplained that there is nothing especially specialabout Laios, unlike what many fans suggest. She said:
So my understanding is Laios is a really normal person; there’s nothing special, and everyone can relate [to a person like him]. I also relate to him, so I don’t think I’m writing anything special [regarding Laios].
Laios is indeed a truly likable and captivating character, easily winning over fans and making them connect with and fall in love with his personality. Kui continued:
That’s why I think people can relate to or appreciate him. Some people might say Laios is a little bit autistic, but Shuro has his own difficulties. Everyone has their individual problems. It’s not just Laios or Shuro; the problems are mutual. We always need to try to understand and learn from each other.
While this may be disappointing for those who hoped the theory would be true, it doesn’t take away from the overall enjoyment of the series. Laios’s peculiarity lies in his intense obsession with monsters.
He has an in-depth understanding ofmonster psychology and physiology, allowing him to skillfully divert, evade, and defeat them. He is also a skilled fighter, specializing in monster hunting. As the cast ventures deeper into the dungeon, the characters’ unique traits become more pronounced.
