He’d had entire scripts memorized, and he could act out every part, and every voice. The intense narrow interest struck me as typical of many autistic kids. Other kids I’d seen had been very interested in cars, or Pokémon, or arcane areas of science and history. But Disney movies are different because they involve relationships and carry emotional complexity.
