‚Of course‘ SpongeBob SquarePants has autism, voice actor Tom Kenny says. ‚That’s his superpower.‘ Now if only someone would write a treatise on the fan theory.
Tom Kenny is canonizing a popular “SpongeBob SquarePants” fan theory.
Kenny, who has voiced the animated series’ star sponge since the show’s premiere in 1999 and received two Daytime Emmy Awards for his performance, recently confirmed that his character has autism.
“SpongeBob’s kind of on the spectrum, too, as a character,” he said during a May Q&A at Motor City Comic Con in Detroit.
