* The in-game analysis states that Lilo has been normally communicative for most of his time with his owner and has only recently started showing symptoms. Question: why is he assumed to be autistic? The diagnostic criteria for autism requires symptoms to become apparent when a patient is very young (or, I suppose, when a cuddlytoy is very new.)
