it's possible he fits some of the characteristics without the writers intentionally trying. I think they wanted someone gullible and naive.
(re "Flirt Milk") Agree. As to the interesting question of whether Nomjued is specifically meant to be borderline autistic or Aspie, somehow I don't think the writers of this script are quite that sophisticated. As you say, I think just "gullible and naive", plus also child-like.
And as to where we are right now in episode 8, let's not forget that this is the dreaded antipenultimate (third from last) episode of a Thai BL. I don't think there will be too many surprises about how the couples end up.
