Both series involve people with disabilities and struggles through society. Both also involve parents who struggle for their children. Only difference is that one involves autism (With the Light) and the other involves deafness (A Silent Voice). There is also more bullying in ASV than in WTL. Also the mother in the former series is more strict and cynical while the mother in the latter series is more kind, supportive and idealistic. That being said, ASL is more depressing than WTL.
Both stories focus around on how Japanese society views those who face a certain challenge with their lives due to something that was cause beyond their control whether its autism or being hearing impaired or deaf. And it also focuses on how those who support them also face challenges of their own while supporting them as well too.
