She was born in China on the 27th of November,1996. She is the daughter of a popular American filmmaker named Zack Snyder. Zack Snyder has eight children both adopted and biological. Autumn is one of his adopted children. Autumn was adopted alongside Willow when Zack was with his ex-wife Denise Weber. Zack has two more biological children with his ex-wife namely Olivia and Eli, making them four children altogether, both adopted and biological. And also with his second wife Deborah Snyder he has two biological children (Jeff and Ezekiel) and two adopted (Cash and Zage).
Autumn started her education in California USA from where he moved to Sarah Lawrence College to acquire a degree before her death.
Zack Snyder made sure that Autumn had the best while growing up with the family despite the fact that she was adopted. By all standards, she was comfortable. While she was in school, she showed signs of being more art-inclined. One of her areas of strength is in writing and had a lot of unfinished works before her death. Autumn possessed a lot of literary gifts so to say, and it will not be wrong if I say that the world actually lost a rising star. We hope that some of her unpolished works get to be published someday so that the world can benefit from her well of talent.
Autumn also has a philanthropic side of her, she loves to help the needy, and that drove her to form a charity organization known as Write-A-Thon Charity in the quest to reach out to the homeless. with the collaboration of so many other similar organizations, she was able to reach out to so many less privileged people in the United States.
What Made Autumn Snyder To Commit Suicide?
We understand why the family of Snyder wants to keep this information private. No one could say exactly why she committed the act, and the family has refused to say anything regarding this, their silence could be as a result of the sensitivity and traumatic effect of the matter. However, rumors have it that she has been battling with depression and has been on medication.
The story also has it that both father and daughter have on several occasions discussed the issue of depression. Autumn is known to be repeatedly asking about her worth, she had this obsession of wanting to know who she was, and what her purpose on earth is. Though Zack tried countless times to assure her that she is worth more than anything she can think of in the world, yet she won’t stop asking.
Autumn’s chronic quest to know her worth can be clearly seen in her writings where she has decided to vent. She often assumes the character of someone always in battle with aliens. This continued until she finally lost it all on 12th March 2017.
The news of her death was made known to her father Zack Syder while he was at the peak of the Justice League. He had to abandon everything to be with his family, while his assistant Joss Whedon carried on with his duties.
Zack Snyder’s Rearranged Justice League in memory of Autumn
Autumn died in March 2017, when Zack was at the concluding stage of his Justice League movie. He lost the energy to continue even when he tried to continue, but later handed over. In his exact words “The demands of this job are pretty intense. It is all-consuming. And in the last two months, I’ve come to the realization… I’ve decided to step back from the movie to be with my family, be with my kids, who really need me. They are all having a hard time. I’m having a hard time.”
The batton now fell on Joss Whedon, the Avengers filmmaker to finish the production. Josh was wooed by Warner Bros to change certain things in the movie, which ended up clashing with Zack’s creation. The movie didn’t turn out well as Zack planned it. Having seen the failure, Josh distanced himself from the whole production by removing his name from the movie. A campaign was embarked on by the fans to push Warner Bros to release the original version that Zack Snyder did.
Zack used his period of grieve to write 2021’s Justice League, drawing inspiration from Autumn. This can be seen in the 2021 version of Justice League, with a major part of the movie dominated by grief and loss themes.
