Definitely my favorite Disney princess. Let’s DIVE (get it?) into why Ariel from The Little Mermaid is iconic in both a neurodivergent & also a feminist way! Why did little autistic me relate with her so much? People might criticize Disney princesses for being anti-feminist, but I argue that The Little Mermaid is a story of feminism, of a young woman who doesn’t let disability or social misunderstanding hold her back. So let’s celebrate Ariel – Autism Icon? Part of my new series about autism on tv and in media. Looking at autistic & autistic-coded characters, in between my more substantial essays. This video is entirely based off the 1989 original movie & I don't care if any other productions contradicts what I have to say - this is about 5 year old me & what she thought :)
