- Amelie is a character who certainly looks as if she is a little crazy but also isn't abnormal in any way. She has quite and innocent look to her as well.
- She is younger looking than we had intended when using the boy, more around 7 years old, but again she will seem younger than that in the film due to her condition. However still with above average intelligence and understanding for her age (doing the rubik's cube), just struggling with communication with others.
- She understands she is autistic but struggles to relate that to her behaviour as she can justify all her actions as normal in her head.
- She likes to be on her own most of the time however when she wants attention she easily gets upset if she doesn't have it straight away. She is not bothered by that fact that she doesn't have many school-friends and doesn't understand why this does bother her mother.
Amelie is a character who won't necessarily be relatable by the audience, but the audience should connect with her as they will feel sorry for her, although we would not want the audience to pity her. Our target audience is older, more similar to the age of the mother, so it is possible parents watching will relate to Emma who has to deal with a difficult child.
