There is Authentic #Autistic themes and representation in many Shows (well beyond what is presented here).
What are your favorite shows?
@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.
@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.
YES!
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.”

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