don’t worry about it too much! I can’t pretend I have any insight into default cultural attitudes towards autism in specific, but what I do know for certain is that conversations re: mental health and neurodivergence in Japanese culture are better-established & more mainstream at this point than it would seem at this distance

Go about it like you would any other roommate.

I had a similar experience living with international roomates. I was honest about what I needed from day one. Lmk if you have any questions or anything I may be able to relate

overthinking as we all do, but it all leads back to some good communication. granted, it might be tricky with someone who doesn't speak your native language, but maybe writing it out or something could help. if your intention and attempt is well natured, i'm sure they'd appreciate it. and if that's the only "problem" you have as a roommate (not doing dishes, not cleaning, etc), then i'd say it's a pretty good deal lol.

If you feel comfortable just explain it to them. They’ll get used to it
