According to my ten year old who has level one Autism Spectrum Disorder / Asperger's, Forky is definitely autistic. “Think about it Mom, he asks ALL the questions, he doesn't understand friends and he gets sayings stuck in his head! He is like me!” As far as official word from Pixar…
The frenetic Forky is voiced by Tony Hale, the “Veep” and “Arrested Development” alumnus who is accustomed to playing characters who are seen as disposable by others. But in “Toy Story 4,” Hale's character embraces the idea of being tomorrow's garbage.
Attributes. Forky is innocent and self-loathing. From the moment he comes to life, he is convinced that he is "trash". This attitude gradually changes after he befriends Woody and his gang, although his naïveté and inquisitive yet dim-witted behavior remain.

Does Forky have depression?
So when Forky has a breakthrough about his existential despair, it feels very personal. Forky tells Woody that being in the trash makes him feel “warm” and “safe.” Of course: a sense of safety and warmth is the holy grail of any depressed person.
Yes, Forky is actually a spoon/fork hybrid that's used, as the character says, “for soup, salad, maybe chili, and then the trash!” But director Josh Cooley figured that Bonnie might not know what a spork is. A few years ago, Cooley turned to his son, who was 5 or 6 at the time, for a name.
Bo (short for Bo Peep) is the most intelligent of all the toys. Although fans know she is no longer a part of Andy's room, she once was and she experiences a lot of intimidating events in the fourth film.
Although some joked that her name would be “knifey,” (following along with Forky), that would be a bit rough-around-the-edges (so to speak). First revealed in the credits and carried through on the Mattel 2-pack box, we know that her full name is Karen Beverly.
Forky's arms are made by bending a red pipe cleaner. Make three fingers on each end of the pipe cleaner. Then, wrap the center of the pipe cleaner around the spork and twist it into place. Your cute new Toy Story Forky is ready for action.
Toy Story may have been about the radical acceptance that accompanies friendship, but it's also about how quickly you can feel lost when you think you're navigating the world all by yourself.
Woody expresses no remorse nor concern for his attempted murder; rather, he instinctively defends his public image, the clear behaviour of a psychotic narcissist.
He is an eleven-year-old boy who destroys toys for his own amusement. Sid is Hannah's older brother, Scud's owner, Andy Davis' opposite counterpart and former next-door neighbor. However, ultimately his reign of toy-murderous terror ends after he got Woody and Buzz Lightyear, the film's two protagonists.
While Sid Phillips is painted as the main antagonist of Toy Story, he really doesn't do anything all that villainous. Stepping out of the toys' perspective, Sid seems to be a highly imaginative boy who plays with toys rather creatively, even though his toys wind up worse for wear on occasion.
The cast of “Toy Story 4” reveal why the new character “Forky” (voiced by Tony Hale) wasn't named “Sporky,” after the very utensil he was created from. We asked the cast of the new Pixar movie at the Disney premiere. Want to read more articles like this one?
Jessie is a rough-and-tumble cowgirl doll with a passion for yodeling. Since abandoned by her original owner, she's sensitive to being left behind; however, she's also an incredibly optimistic member of Andy's toy gang.
Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks in the films, shorts, and specials and Jim Hanks in the video games, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, and Lamp Life) is a 1950s traditional pullstring cowboy figure, and Andy's favorite toy.
Buzz comes in at just under a foot tall—11.43 inches without his helmet, to be exact. That's nearly four inches shorter than Woody! 7. Woody might be taller, but he doesn't have a pair of wings like Buzz has.
Woody is the favorite toy of his owner Andy Davis and is the leader of the toys in Andy's room. However, his position is jeopardized by the arrival of Buzz Lightyear, an astronaut action figure that Andy got as a birthday present. Buzz is convinced that he is an actual Space Ranger instead of a toy.
Forky is a white plastic spork outfitted with a pair of different sized googly eyes, a mouth made out of a blue wax stick, two halves of a Popsicle stick for a pair of feet held together by clay, slender arms and hands made out of a red pipe cleaner, and a unibrow made out of a red wax stick.
When Pixar pitched the role of Forky to Tony Hale, the character was described as a spork having an existential crisis. “I was like, 'Game on. I'm in,'” says Hale (Veep, Arrested Development). He leaped at the opportunity to voice a new toy.
With the assistance of Duke Caboom (Keanu Reeves), Woody reunites with Forky but discovers that the spork has fallen under the spell of the doll. Gabby Gabby is not a monster; she's just another toy like Woody desperate for the affection of a child.
