Autism in Freaky Friday

Post Reply New Topic

So im watching Freaky Friday (2003) and noticed within like 5 minutes into the movie i noticed a character, Evan, the first thing we see him doing is rocking back and forth and moaning to himself, then he goes on to worry about possibly new furniture in the room and questioning Dr.Coleman (one of our stars, Annas mother) if shell be there tomorrow and the day after that and such.

just a funny thing i saw in the movie, he might just be a worrier or anxiety but with the rocking and worrying about the next day and change in the room, kinda made me laugh.

I haven't seen that movie in many years so I can't even remember the character or know what you are talking about. I would have to see it again some time. I have the movie.

Personally I'm not into assigning autism to fictional characters. Plus I have seen a lot of behavior like rocking in special needs who are not on the autism spectrum.

I just watched that part on youtube and he sounded a lot like someone with an anxiety disorder and OCD because of all the counting stuff he was doing and doing the number thing. But yet he came off as so normal in class who likes to bully Anna because of a vendetta he had so he took it out on her. But just funny how someone can go from normal to abnormal. I have had those moments.
