Dory, from Pixar's Finding Nemo, is a kind-hearted regal blue tang who struggles with short-term memory — a common problem among children and adults with ADHD.

These problems in encoding new information are hallmarks of anterograde amnesia. Dory describes her condition as “short-term memory loss” which is the way most people refer to the problem of encoding new information that is the hallmark of anterograde amnesia.
Overall, Dory is a kind, loving, and well-meaning character. While she may not be autistic herself, she definitely displays many autistic traits.
