So my Fandom 2019 meme largely evolved into a post about autism on TV...
Caveat: there is no way in hell I'm going to pick just one thing for most of these. You have been warned.
Also, I found myself writing a whole lot more about autism and disability representation re: Atypical and Special, and regarding upcoming TV, so if that interests you, see behind the middle cut...
( Fandom 2019 meme, part the first )
Controversially, I ended up liking Atypical a lot, which made it very sad to discover recently that Michael Rappaport, who plays the dad, is an ableist Twitter bully. Leaving that aside, the conventional wisdom in the ASD community is that the show is trash, but I'm a bit less inclined to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
( Gonna ramble about autism on TV. Sorry, not sorry. )
