My little brother has had a fear of Buzz Light year since he was roughly 4-5 years old. I want to know if anyone else has had this issue with any autistic relatives/children before? I can't understand why since he is obsessed with Jessie and Woody from Toy Story yet is petrified of watching the movie from his immense fear of seeing Buzz. He also is the same with Mr Incredible but no one else. He loves all Disney movies, grown up movies, not scared of anything even watches Shaun of the Dead and laughs at the zombies? We have recently got Disney plus and he loves all the films on there but he gets extremely scared and jumps up and leaves the room on the off chance that Toy Story will come up. I do think it could have been exacerbated by his head teacher at his previous school who is now thankfully sacked, she used to threaten him when he didn't do what she wanted with getting a Buzz Light Year toy out of her pocket. She was a despicable person (her name is Margaret Gretton feel free to look her up) and I'm worried that she has scarred my brother for life with this. Both me and my dad have tried to talk it over with him recently (about 6 months apart) and he is reduced to tears and shakes and gets extremely emotional which is heartbreaking to see since otherwise he is the most happy go lucky kid I have ever come across and everyone he meets say the same thing. I'm hoping someone can help me try and get him through this - I know it's not that much of a big deal but he carries his Woody and Jessie dolls (which he has three of each) everywhere and I know he would love to watch the film without fear.
I'd really hoping someone can help with this :)
Thanks,
Ashton.
