Lilo is also heavily damaged herself. She suffers from abandoned child syndrome which is a common illness among children who have lost their parents. She also has a behavioral disorder called intermittent explosive disorder in which she often has outbursts of anger and usually takes it out on her classmates violently.
While there appears to be no evidence that creators Chris Sanders and Dean Deblois intentionally made Lilo autistic, it is a widely accepted theory among fans—especially for those who are on the spectrum or believe themselves to be—that her neurodivergence is at least implied, much in the same way that other Disney ...
The movie became wildly popular with the general population, but especially with autistic people, as while it is currently unconfirmed, it is a common theory that both Lilo and Stitch are autistic, which has resulted in many, myself included, relating to the stories of both Lilo and Stitch.
Lilo is emotionally sensitive and usually cries whenever she's really hurt or if something bad happens to someone she loves and cares for (mainly Nani or Stitch), having been emotionally scarred by losing her parents at such a young age.
She is the older sister and legal guardian of Lilo, due to their parents' death.
There's a sizable age gap between the two sisters, with Nani being around 19 and Lilo being six. After the tragic death of their parents, Nani becomes Lilo's sole provider and guardian.
Her spoiled personality could also be from her mother spoiling her daughter to keep her happy and mask the struggles they endure as a family. Another likely reason that she is so mean to Lilo is that she is jealous of the love and happiness her rival has with her family, something she cannot get with her father away.
As a result of being alienated by her peers, Lilo develops schizotypal personality disorder. She is a loner, has peculiar beliefs compared to others, and just like her sister, she has paranoid and doubtful thoughts about others.
While depression can run in your family it can also be caused from a trauma and other stressful events. Sometimes there can be no obvious trigger of depression. Lilo exhibits many of the symptoms of major depression. She does not have many friends and often feels lonely.
This was pointed out on social media and fans were not happy to see the change. However, it was done for good reason as it did not want children following in Lilo's footsteps and trying to hide in a dryer, which could be potentially dangerous.
