Some of those I get. Clarence and Uncle Grandpa aren't really associated with autism, but they're both retarded, so, I guess we could say they have autism. But since when are Steven Universe and Hotel Transylvania(?) symbolic of autism?
This definitely makes me aware that autism exists.

I like it! The Recobbled Cut that is.

Dear lord! A sonic/thomas crossover?It's a black hole of autism!I feel this thread needs some steam power.
Some days ago I went to a barbecue party for parents of autistic kids and said kids themselves. They affirmed that Thomas the TE is hugely popular with autistic children. I myself may be on the spectrum (currently waiting for a professional diagnosis) - I loved trains (and in fact all sorts of machines and technology) when I was little. I actually learned to read with the first Thomas book by Reverend Awdry. I never watched the show, though - I was an all-books, no-TV kinda child
I used to be really autisticy as a kid. I mostly grew out of it though. When I was three I was obsessed with Thomas. And snakes. And tornados and hurricanes. Yeah, I was a weird kid.Some days ago I went to a barbecue party for parents of autistic kids and said kids themselves. They affirmed that Thomas the TE is hugely popular with autistic children.

Snakes on a train in a tornado in a hurricane. Someone send that idea in to Hollywood, we're gonna be rich.
In case Sonic recolours aren't enough, here's a Digimon one.while everyone else is trapped in another world, Luna and Taylah are trapped in Millenniummon's castle, forced to breed with other Digimon to make more slaves or Millenniummon would poison and kill them. Millenniummon decided to give Luna and Taylah a break and untied them from the beds and throws them into two cells and just vanished for now, Taylah was on her hands and knees, shaking in fear "i-i want my father........." she said as a tear went down her face, she wanted DemiVeemon because she was afraid and DemiVeemon was the one she relied on the most, Luna watches Taylah through the different cell.

That, and the whole setting seems kind of fascist. I mean, you have everyone operating under a charismatic leader, institutionalized prejudice against a minority (diesel engines), fanatical devotion to working for the state, and the fact that trains that don't work hard enough get sent to the scrapyard. And it takes place on an island off the coast of Britain. Holy shit, Thomas the Tank Engine takes place during the Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands!
I think the author meant it in a way that they're afraid of the diesels because they're the newest, most high powered thing and they're replacing steam engines. Their existence is literally killing them.
