Tom Kenny recalled a conversation with a fan about the topic during the 2024 Motor City Comic Con in Detroit.
Tom Kenny , the voice actor behind cartoon icon SpongeBob SquarePants, recently revealed the character is on the autism spectrum.
I said, ‘Yes, of course. Of course he is,’ ” he continued. “I said, ‘You know what? That’s his superpower, the same way that’s your superpower.’" Though SpongeBob has never been given a formal diagnosis on the show, he frequently displays classic signs of the condition. SpongeBob often misinterprets social cues and takes keen interest in niche activities.
