Autism & Guillermo del Toro

While some light research of "Guillermo del Toro autism" doesn't get many results, other than complaints and praise for The Shape of Water, it is apparent that many of his characters are autistic.

Aurora || Cronos (1993)

Aurora is near-mute, but has a lot of agency despite this. She isn't afraid to kill a bug or help Jesus defeat De la Guardia. In fact, she's the main heroine of our story, despite her silence. She shows intense feelings, especially of love for her grandfather, shown in scenes such as where she reaveals shes ripped the head off her beloved teddy bear to put the Cronos device inside. She's incredibly smart for her age and very capable, but I believe her (maybe not optional, but definitely not permanent) silence is vindictive of her autism. I cannot figure out what her special interest would be, though.

Chuy || Mimic (1997)

Chuy is another one of Guillermo del Toro's strong children. Shown first playing spoons incredibly skillfully and crafting creatures out of wire, Chuy has unique interests. He can tell the exact type of shoe down to the size because of his grandfather, and he has the ability to perfectly mimic the Judas' cry. He's nearly silent but not always, and he seems unaware of the rules of the world, leaving his home and entering the subways seemingly unaware of the danger. Upon watching a man get sucked into a gutter, he barely reacts. One pivotal scene showing his autism would have to be when he's trapped in the elevator shaft and has a meltdown. He also speaks in a somewhat unique manner. His special interests are obviously playing spoons and shoes.

Ofelia || Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

Ofelia is yes another child character who shows a lot of agency, going against what practically everyone tells her to follow her own path. But she's also very bookish, obsessed with her fairytales so much she believes anything the fantastic tells her. She crawls through the mud and talks back to adults, keeping a somewhat quiet demeanor otherwise. I believe her special interest is fairtales.

Newt || Pacific Rim (2013)

Not a child, but worth mentioning anyways, is Newt. He's obsessed with Kaiju, to the point of drifting with one multiple times (and eventually.. living with one?). He speaks fast and erratically, he knows every indexical fact about Kaiju, and he's obviously insanely smart. He's, however, balanced by his childlike wonder at everything. His love for kaiju is, of course, his special interest.

Hope you enjoyed my analysis! I'm missing plenty of characters simply because I haven't seen his full repertoire yet! But as an autistic person, I love to find it in everything else!

I'm in so much pain. I can endure a lot more. A LOT more.

Well, this thing kinda got away from me. It was originally just going to be five of my favorite Guillermo del Toro monsters playing cards, but I kept thinking of more things to add until it got to the point were it felt weird not to go ahead and include something from all of his films. (I recently rewatched all of them, so I've kinda got this stuff on the brain right now) So, here we have:

The alchemist's device from Cronos (1993)

A giant roach from Mimic (1997)

Santi from The Devil's Backbone (2001)

The vampire overlord's ring from Blade II (2002)

Sammael from Hellboy (2004)

The Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth (2006) (greatest movie OF ALL TIME)

The head of a Golden Army soldier from Hellboy II: the Golden Army (2008)

A kaiju from Pacific Rim (2013)

Margaret McDermott (I think) from Crimson Peak (2015)

The Amphibian Man from The Shape of Water (2017)

The electric chair prop from Nightmare Alley (2021)

Death from Pinocchio (2022)
