** Mattia is a perfectionist math genius who rarely talks and hates any kind of interaction with other people. He also cuts himself repeatedly. It's not clear if he's autistic or it's just the result of his traumatic childhood incident. Before that trauma, Mattia was a smart yet normal child who was shunned only because of his sister.
** In the story, it's never explicitly said what's wrong with Mattia's sister Michela. She is unable to do anything or understand anything and has never said a word in her life. The summary on the book cover describes her as mentally retarded, but in many other sources (especially about the movie adaptation), she's stated to be autistic. Many readers think she's the former, because her genius brother Mattia is the one who shows signs usually associated with autism.
** Alice has an eating disorder, specifically anorexia. She never really grows out of it, not even as an adult.
