I’m trying to see what we look like in NT settings from a 3rd person view. Most of the examples I know are shows about autism specifically, but I’m looking for a more natural NT setting type of thing.

Edit: Looking for a normal show in which one of the main characters are autistic, but autism is not the central focus. My brain feels like it’s gunked up lately, so having trouble explaining things. Like trying to run in a nightmare. iassgdgdsflsfd

    Atypical was a great representation. The main theme is the main character’s autism, but people around him treat him different ways. His mom is over protective but his sister treats him completely normal. His best friend essentially ignores it and learns tons from him. The varied reactions and ways they interact with him are great from everyone in the show.

      I love that show and Sam! He’s right, too. Olive Garden doesn’t have unlimited bread sticks. There has to be some sort of limit. Even if you can eat one bread stick in 30 secs like a machine and you go there on the day they’re open the longest (Friday for 12 hours), that’s 1 bread stick x 2/min x 60min/hr x 12hrs = 1,440 bread sticks. They’re not going to keep the place open until you decide to finish eating bread sticks, especially because you’re eating all the bread sticks. It’s complete bs.
