Is Spongebob Autistic?

[iedasb]

I guess this can be true. But I'm in a drawing class, learning how to create a character, and the teacher always says we need to exagerate in lines(drawings) and in personatily too... Well, at least this isn't that ::dolphin noise:: about the "7 deadly sins".

wait, what's that? another theory?

Yeah, all the SB characters apparently represent a deadly sin.

I guess this theory is more known in my country...

Right off the bat I find it mildly funny that, somehow, Patrick seems to be a representation of all of the seven deadly sins. That was my first thought.

You know, come to think about it, even with the characterization changes in post movie, this theory is still (somewhat) relevant in some way.

He was just sharing his opinion, not trying to force it on you. The good thing about fan theories is that they aren't proven fact and you don't have to agree with them :)

One thing I wanted to say earlier but deleted for some reason was to consider the fact that Spongebob is a cartoon character, and he's probably not the only one to act this way. I mean, it is a cartoon, so characters are going to act like this once in a while. Real people can exhibit any of these characteristics at once as well, but it doesn't mean they have autism. But of course, that doesn't mean Spongebob doesn't have it either...

sorry, didn't mean to sound agressive, I just think people tend to overanalyse everything in cartoon nowdays

I see this theory applied to so many shows that I'm not sure it can be an "official" fan theory anymore. I think it brings up some interesting points, but I don't think it was ever meant to be intentional.

Also, how is Gary supposed to represent gluttony?

As a cat owner I can testify that yes, cats do eat a lot, especially bigger ones.

If anything Patrick embodies all of the sins. But we love him.

Not so sure if he embodies Greed.

Yours, Mine and Mine.

Well he accused Spongebob of eating his candy bar in "Doing Time" even though he shoved the whole thing into his mouth all at once. Not sure if that's greed or just extreme stupidity. lol

Getting BACK ON TOPIC, there's one symptom the OP didn't mention that SB has shown: Resistance to Change, specifically in the Krusty Dogs.

I disagree. He was upset about that because cooking Krabby Patties is his passion. Nobody would like something they're passionate about to be taken away

Exactly. Spongebob seems like a guy who welcomes change. Wasn't that the entire point of the episode "Patty Hype?"
