maybe, i don't really know what autism is these days but anime is notable for the level of detail it gives to faces + the amount of time it spends on them. easier to read, i bet.

there was also an aspect of anime when i was fat and hated my body, that the drawn element meant i didn't have to see real people on the screen, which would make me feel inadequate by comparison
