(Oof, yeah, that movie sounds... yikes. And yeah, I just re-watched the Muppet Christmas Carol with my parents; kid Scrooge, glad to have more quiet time to read during the holidays? Young adult Scrooge, hiding from the party to do more figures? (I'll bet he's been praised for doing math and saving money and isn't quite sure how to get validation other ways.) I can definitely read him as Autistic and/or otherwise neurodivergent. But yeah, I get that! I feel like "Respecting neurodivergent and/or otherwise disabled folks and making accommodations for them to enjoy themselves instead of making them do things the Abled way" is a genre that could stand more exploration.)
