Talk:Elsa/@comment-35785213-20191120084321

This is part of what I wrote in my review on IMDB:

I originally became interested in this movie because of family. My 2nd cousin (my mom's great-niece), who was born in 2009 (3 YEARS BEFORE the movie) is named ELSA. My grandma (her great grandma) was 100% Swedish. [One] thing that struck me is the parallel between Elsa & people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs), which includes my brother & I (though I was diagnosed as an adult). Elsa is feared due to her powers, & Prince Hans tells her "don't be the monster they fear you are." People with ASDs are viewed the same way, partially due to fictional characters like Lennie in "Of Mice & Men." Like Elsa's powers, the general public views ASD as negative, something to be hidden. By the end of the story, Elsa's powers have been shown to be an asset, also. This is similar to people with ASDs (like fictional characters in "The Good Doctor" & "Rain Man," & real people like Dr. Temple Grandin & Kodi Lee), who publicly display the BENEFITS associated with ASD.
