The movie's final scene suggests that the monster will always be around, but Amelia will learn how 👍 to deal with it and still live the life that she wants to live. The Babdook monster represents grief itself, 👍 which is a clever and moving metaphor.

He has a seizure in one scene, and seizure disorders are often comorbid with autism spectrum disorders, particularly 👍 in children. But The Babadook never says autism, or neurodivergent, or neurological disorder. Because the movie is not interested in 👍 Samuel, it is not interested in diagnosis or intervention for him.
