Princess Aurora is Autistic



I had the pleasure of seeing Sleeping Beauty last night at a screening at the El Capitan theater - which was gorgeous. But I do have one note regarding the story. Princess Aurora has a stilted personality and ambles through most of the movie completely emotionally detached. So, here is the theory: the third fairy was supposed to bestow the gift of personality after her life partners offered beauty and song. But, when the evil Maleficent cast her own gift, Meriwether was forced to forgo her spell in order to quell the curse of death. Subsequently, Princess Aurora lives a life of beauty and song but is tragically left autistic.
