Pride & Prejudice and Autism
Yo Samdy Sam - February 13, 2026

I saw this last week and knew I had to share it here. The title alone is enough to get my click. And it's by one of my favorite autistic commentators. I've never read Pride & Prejudice, so I don't know whether her "autistic lens" analysis is a good fit for the novel. But it all sounds plausible to me. And I applaud any thoughtful attempt to analyze literature or other media from any kind of disability perspective.
