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
Not sure exactly what you mean, but maybe Extraordinary Attorney Woo would qualify.
It’s about “an autistic female rookie attorney hired by a major law firm in Seoul. Being different from her neurotypical peers, her manner of communication is seen by them as odd, awkward, and blunt.”
There’s significant attention paid in the stories to how her NT peers feel about interacting with her, in addition to her perspective about them. Quite an excellent show.
What about that girl from Bridgerton? I’m pretty sure she’s autism coded.
Abed from Community is autistic. It’s a comedy show not centered on him. Also there is no mention of autism in Resident Alien but the central character (being an alien learning human behaviour) did resonate with me a lot.
You can also read through this list, there are a lot od autism mentions for many characters - https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DiagnosedByTheAudience
I’ll check out Community. Also, thanks for the site recommendation!
The bridge (original scandinavian show) has a detective who exhibits a lot of high functioning autistic traits, although iirc its never explicitly stated that she’s autistic. Also i found the show “Atypical” to be excellent at showcasing neurotypical reactions to an autistic character. Obviously the show focuaes heavily on autism as thats the whole point, but it shows the character in a variety of situations and it feels very realistic and like it was made with the purpose of making autistic people more “understandable” to neurotypicals which i feel might serve your purpose.
March comes in like a Lion?
What does that mean?
It’s the name of an anime I thought relevant to the prompt, but wasn’t exactly sure if its setting was what you were looking for
Oh, I get it now. I haven’t seen it, but if you think it fits, then it does, right? I think so.
That about sums it! lol because its not, like, strictly mentioned, but more how one relates to the characters inter-personal struggles.
