From LIFE ANIMATED: Owen is older teenager, who still defines his life through Disney, yet very much wants to do what other teens have done. For Owen, this means going to college, the way his older brother has done. His parents manage to find the right college for him, where he will meet others like him, and where he can go away. Before he goes, though, he insists his family watch the Little Mermaid with him. He pauses near the end:
Triton: She really does love him, doesn't she Sebastian?
Sebastian: Well, it's like I always say, your majesty, children got to be free to lead their own lives.
Triton: You always say that? Then I guess there's just one problem left.
Sebastian: And what is that, your majesty?
Triton: How much I am going to miss her.
And it is Owen, the autistic child, who asks his parents: Are we okay?
