DIY ‘Wonder’ Movie Astronaut Helmet
In the movie (and book), Auggie Pullman is born with facial differences due to a craniofacial condition. He has a form of Treacher Collins syndrome, which affects the development of bones and tissues in the face.
As he enters a mainstream school for the first time in fifth grade, he wears an astronaut helmet. This hides him from the other students, who he worries will not accept him.
The helmet represents the desire for a safe space, while also showing the isolation he experiences.
