Wait, YOU have a mental illness and you want to diagnose a child character or or you want to diagnose a child character that has a mental illness? If the latter, then you should definitely choose the Christopher Robinson boy that is a schizophrenic and attributes his personalities to all of his stuffed animals. Why this thin young boy has a personality that is a gay pooh bear named Winnie is very disturbing.

All of us, when as kids the families and society was brainwashing us that there is a guard over each and everyone, who is going to punish us for everything we do and think!
To my understanding, this is the worse mental sickness possible! Why?
Because mental sickness is the different from the accepted in society and while the child is perfect, the society makes it sick!

Harry Potter. The Pandora's box of mental illness. Escapism, projection, low-self esteem, schizophrenia, bi-polar personality disorder. You name it, his characters' go it.
Not to say that I'm one of those anti-potter heads, I just find his character to be the most delusional in conjunction to reality. Interesting study.
Or do you mean REAL child actors?

Charlie Brown....his dog Snoopy, Alice in Wonderland or better yet, Harry Potter. Take your pick. Most childhood characters (and their creators) could be diagnosed. Right?

The little girl from 'The Bad Seed'.
Leonardo DeCaprio's character in 'What's Eating Gildbert Grape?' (I think it's Lonnie)
