Does Ponyo seem autistic?

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah, Yeah I know she is a fish and all... but if you have ever seen Miyazaki's film Ponyo you would be able to answer this. It just makes me wonder. When she becomes human, she shows a few traits of autism that are almost similiar to mine.

- attachment to objects; the towel and the light thing.
- hypersensitive to sounds; when they radio came on and that huge noise, it bothered her greatly.
- obsessive and strict interests; her obsession for Ham and also for Sosuke.

I know there is more but it seems she is more PDD-NOS. But it just intrigues me and I was wondering if anyone else noticed it. I've looked up and noticed how possible everyone says that it is.

That radio thing startled me too.

I predicted she'd want the ham in the sandwich before she rejected the lettuce or whatever inferior thing he tried to give her!

Whatever the case is, I think I'm on Miyazaki's wavelength. And Miyazaki may be autistic!

YES! I think Sosuke show traits too.
