The #Autistic spectrum is not a line.

It is a series of "knobs" set at various levels for each manifestation of #Autism.

It is endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful.

There is Authentic #Autistic themes and representation in many Shows (well beyond what is presented here).

What are your favorite shows?

@actuallyautistic

@autismsupsoc I didn't see Eleven as a saint, she had anger issues and her relations with others were not perfect. it's not a critique of her character, I think she was portraied well enough for a popular show. #strangerthings #actuallyautistic

@Ibie we didn’t call her a saint. She is quite literally depicted as not a saint.

She bashes a peer with a set of roller scates.

It’s a pair of characrrrs that shows one Autists doing very bad things and another Doing grey things.

@autismsupsoc ok, I misunderstood the picture then 🙃

@Ibie this one does need some context for some … there are lot of people who promote a stereotype that Autists are purely good and some people who believe that Autists are horrible.

We are just human … stranger things on one of the few shows where strongly Autistic coded characters are put into very grey situations.

@autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic
One that isn't on the list "Bones" - I'd say Temperance Brennan is the poster person for on screen #autism characters...
@autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic dimension 20 and really any of the droupout shows make me so happy, because since they basically all revolve around a group of friends having fun together, i just feel so hopeful and comforted to see so much unadulterated autistic joy. 😊
@autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic Diane Kruger’s portrayal of an autistic homicide detective in “The Bridge” was superb.
@autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic
My favourites of those are Doctor Who and StR Trek Next Gen.
@autismsupsoc How many colours are there in a rainbow?
@autismsupsoc What's lovely to me about this approach is that with a couple more 'knobs' you could embrace ADHD at the same time. So many of us have some or all of both ASD and AD(H)D.

@fishidwardrobe

Our personal view on this topic so that Autism (ASD) and Kinetism (ADHD) are the same spectrum Neurotype, with the knobs of attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.

But we accept that “ADHDers” see ADHD as an identity, and are uncomfortable with the idea of being Autistic. The the possibility exists that there are multiple Neurotypes being DXed as ADHD …

So we don’t push it. We accept that there are “bigger fish to fry” than this topic. It’s not a “Hill to die on.”

@autismsupsoc It's not. If you added those knobs, then you'd not be describing ASD any more, so I personally don't see an issue (but that's just me). You'd be describing neurodiversity as a whole, I suppose. So we'd need a f**kton more knobs…

@autismsupsoc

@iamwahl
And the knobs move. For any given individual the knobs can be set in different settings at different times

#autistic #autism

@autismsupsoc yeah, I usually describe it as like a mixing desk in a recording studio. We all have the same sliders (dozens of them) but each of us has them set to different positions.
@autismsupsoc I'm neither. I'm "what's the maximum level of error with which I can fuck with their model training and still get past the damn captcha?"
@autismsupsoc aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgghhhhhhhhhhhhh! #ItMe
