wow why did the manhwa not even bother to mention such an important trait like the fact that grayson is on the spectrum? like i was genuinely confused on why grayson went inside of the basement thingy with the kid and just thought he was some psychotic dumbass. knowing hes on the spectrum changes everything.

**MAJOR SERIES SPOILERS**
He's high functioning but fails to understand many basic social cues. He has good intentions but because he is on the spectrum he takes things too literally.
The reason why he stayed with the kid is because he thought he could help the kid by keeping him company.
As for his childhood...

His parents aren't all that bad if you understand the context.
He got into a lot of trouble with his friends and family because of his lack of social awareness. When one of his friends told him that their new baby sibling was annoying, he taught his friend how to kill the baby so that the annoying thing would go away.
His omega dad Koi also lacks the ability to smell, so he poisoned his dad to test him. Koi almost died, and his alpha father Ashley came home to see his three eldest children standing around watching their dad dying.
Ashley himself suffers from brain damage due to the accumulation of pheromones when he was younger -- Koi left him and Ashley refused to find a partner to release his pheromones with, resulting in permanent brain damage. That's why he strictly enforces releasing pheromones with his five alpha children because he doesn't want them to end up like himself.
He also feels incredibly guilty for passing down his horrible genes and creating all these menaces to society (not really his fault, his omega demanded it). His biggest hope for his kids is that they don't end up in prison or murdering anyone.
With Grayson, he had to teach him how to adopt a persona and fake a smile. When Koi and Ashley first find out about Grayson and Dane's relationship, the first thing Ashley did was to apologize and accept all liability/pay off Dane because he thought Grayson had forced Dane.
Ashley Dominic Miller is actually the most unfortunate character in the series. Poor guy was the product of rape between his alpha father Dominic and his omega father Ashley Juliet. When found his perfect mate in Koi Niles, Koi left him for years and he got brain damage for staying chaste. Then, when he said he only wanted one kid, Koi gave him five crazy alpha monsters and one super cute but super dumbdumb omega.
