It’s a bit of an older show (2014-2018), and while it doesn’t mention autism specifically, it does center around several people who are clearly neurodiverse, using their unique strengths to solve a wide range of complex and difficult problems while also trying to navigate their individual challenges when interacting with the rest of society.
When I watched this, it was well before I knew any of this stuff, and indeed research was undoubtedly less informed as well. So I wanted to see if anyone here that knows more than me has seen it and can give any opinions on it through the lens of our modern understanding of autism and neurodiversity. Was the show an excellent demonstration of ND people, their strengths and challenges? Or was is completely off the mark? Perhaps somewhere in the middle? Or perhaps even negative and perpetuating outdated stereotypes? Or is the show just too old and I’m talking to a field of crickets?
It’s a movie, quote a couple of m
I’m sorry I just want to be clear, you want me to give you quotes from these shows?
That was a typo, sorry. No I was giving examples of other (not always disclosed) shows and movies with neurodivergent characters.
Divergent is a bunch of books/movies *quite a couple of them
Ah ok gotcha.
