While on a trip to Disneyland recently, I got to thinking about how so many protagonists in the Disney Animation Renaissance movies from the 1990s are incredibly autistic coded. Disney is something that appeals a lot to people with autism, and a big part of that is because they actually have a lot of different autistic coded characters in their line up of protagonists from their classic animated films - but how exactly are these characters autistic coded? That's the question I'll be answering today, as we look at Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Quasimodo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan, Hercules and Tarzan and discuss how all these Disney characters actually show many distinctly autistic traits that allow autistic people to feel seen in a way they might not otherwise!
