In the 2nd episode of the unplanned, unintended "Representation" series, we talk about Autistic representation in media. In this episode, we mention Steve Silberman, author of Neurotribes, Rain Man, Parenthood and Max Braverman, Jason Katims, Atypical, The A Word, The Big Bang Theory, Everything's Gonna Be Okay, Julia from Sesame Street, The Golden Girls, The Good Doctor, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, You Can't Ask That, Fresh Off The Boat, The Family Law, and Entrapta from She-Ra and The Princesses of Power. We discuss whether a label is harmful or helpful and how common beliefs about gifted children likely has origins in ASD.
