When her nanny, “Ole Golly” moves away, Harriet is devastated. She’s a quirky kid with a highly educated and intelligent nanny who understands her thoroughly. Harriet the Spy is about a spoiled eleven-year-old girl living in upper-class New York in the 1960s.
The condition formerly known as Asperger’s Syndrome no longer exists in the DSM-V and is simply considered “autism”.įor those of you who, unlike me, don’t rabidly re-read the books you enjoyed as a child despite being a grown-ass adult, or for those of you who never read this awesome book, let me give you a brief summary.If you think “autistic” means only the non-verbal, hand-flapping kind of autism you are wrong and need to learn more about autism.Despite the above, it’s rare that I feel I can say it so definitely about a character.I am autistic, so yeah, I’m prone to headcanon every character I like as autistic.
Now, before you go getting your panties in a knot, know this: So I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m positive that Harriet the Spy is autistic.
