* In ''Literature/CharmedLife'' and ''Literature/ThePinhoeEgg'', Cat Chant's social difficulties, tendency to get stuck on small details when stressed, his low stress threshold in general, his trouble reading others' emotions, and his frightened resistance to change all suggest he be autistic. Given the setting it's never fully clarified in-universe, but Creator/DianaWynneJones has said in interviews that he is on the spectrum.

* ''Film/FatalAttraction'': In a WordOfSaintPaul example, Creator/GlennClose stated that she regards Alex Forrest as having borderline personality disorder. In fact, she has expressed interest in the film being remade from her point of view, and that with better understanding of mental illness nowadays, "she would not be seen as the villain".

* Creator/OliviaHussey felt that Norma Bates in ''Film/PsychoIVTheBeginning'' had bipolar disorder, and she took inspiration from Christopher Jones, with whom she'd been in an abusive relationship, and she suspected he'd had it (though he was never diagnosed). Ironically, she had been offered the role of Alex in ''Fatal Attraction'', mentioned above.

* ''Webcomic/TheDummysDummy'': While Yumi is always drawn with white (or very blond hair), fairer skin than the rest of the cast, and red eyes, readers initially take it as a stylistic choice. When she goes out in the daylight for the first time[[note]]she's been out at night several times[[/note]], however, she's wearing unseasonably long, dark clothing that covers her entire body except her hands and face, and dons a pair of sunglasses. This led some readers to suspect her of having albinism since her clothing indicates her having medically significant photosensitivity issues, and her appearance is consistent with usual fictional depictions of albinism. This is confirmed by the author in a Q&A issue of the original version.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': When Creator/LaurenFaust was still the showrunner, she initially conceived Scootaloo's inability to fly as being disabled, then while the show was airing said that she "hadn't figured it out yet" (and as such was not disabled), then Faust [[GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld stopped being the showrunner]]. Meanwhile, in-universe, for most of the series, it was left largely ambiguous whether Scootaloo had an actual disability or was just having trouble learning to fly ("Flight to the Finish", the first episode where her trouble flying played a major role in the plot, explicitly left it open as to whether she would eventually fly). Nonetheless, many fans held her up as a role model for people with disabilities (which [[BrokenBase caused a bit of controversy]] between them and fans who were hopeful to see Scootaloo eventually fly after [[WheelchairWoobie seeing her struggle]]). After Scootaloo was shown with child-sized wings in "Growing Up is Hard to Do" as an adult, WordOfGod [[https://www.derpibooru.org/images/2157535 confirmed via Twitter]] that that was indeed meant to indicate an actual disability, but included the line "But fans are welcome to interpret things how they like" (given that Bulk Biceps can fly despite having even smaller wings, Scootaloo's situation still is technically open to interpretation).[[note]]That line could just as easily be interpreted to mean "We're trying to have it both ways" -- that is, satisfy both the fans who wanted to see Scootaloo eventually fly and those who had held her up as a quality specimen of disability representation.[[/note]]
