It’s been a little over a week since #CarlTheCollector debuted on PBS Kids. Having watched a good chunk of it already, it’s definitely an important series and an excellent teaching tool on neurodivergence and the importance of empathy and understanding.
As someone who’s on the spectrum, I’m glad to see autistic characters serve as series leads and have viewers see themselves in this production. Props to the writers for handing such subjects with care and actively debunking stereotypes towards autistic people.
