If you guys want to see some great autism representation watch Royal Pains(it is on Netflix). Dr. Jeremiah Sacani is the best portrayal of autism I've ever seen. He's never explicitly stated to be autistic but it is heavily implied. The way they show his meltdowns, sensory issues, occasional difficulty speaking when distressed, head banging, literal mindedness, ect is so good. His relationships with those around him, especially Divya are so tender and realistic. I also love how they show his vulnerability, how easy it is for him to be taken advantage of by others(as an autistic person this is something I've experienced before and is a very real risk). He's shown as empathetic, kind, caring, brilliant, and human. Well done Royal Pains.
