I’m trying to see what we look like in NT settings from a 3rd person view. Most of the examples I know are shows about autism specifically, but I’m looking for a more natural NT setting type of thing.

Edit: Looking for a normal show in which one of the main characters are autistic, but autism is not the central focus. My brain feels like it’s gunked up lately, so having trouble explaining things. Like trying to run in a nightmare. iassgdgdsflsfd

    Well, I suppose it depends how you define “autistic” for this purpose, and that’s difficult to do in general. I would say River Tam and El (Stranger Things) are very similar characters in both behavior and background. For that matter most of the cast of Stranger, but especially her. Leeloo from the 5th Element. Big Bang Theory is beyond obvious. I think it partly depends whether you include the “nerd” trope, or are looking for really pronounced issues like the first two.
