No, there isn't an officially confirmed autistic Disney Princess, but many fans and theorists "autistic-code" characters like Belle, Rapunzel, Elsa, and Lilo, seeing autistic traits such as special interests (books, exploring), social isolation, and unique ways of processing the world in their stories, making them relatable for neurodivergent audiences.

Her low self-esteem and feelings of depression are even made evident in the song “Let It Go,” where she expresses the need to put up a front: "Don't let them in, don't let them see, be the good girl you always have to be! Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know.”
