Just a reminder that Autism is a spectrum and not everyone is the same!Not everyone is able to mask their autism even if you can.

Why is this downvoted and what was being quoted😭 I don’t see anything

I haven’t seen either of those, but I do dislike how it’s portrayed in the character Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. I actually did like how it was handled in Young Sheldon, though. I think they did a much better job there, oddly enough.

I don’t watch either of those shows, tbh. I honestly think autism is so varied there’s no such thing as inaccurate representation. But some portrayals are more helpful than others, I guess…?
