Autistic Hedgehog
RSSCuriously, does anyone else get triggered watching movie/tv shows with autistic characters? I watched Temple Grandin when it first came to DVD, and I struggled to breathe (that happens when I have a sensory fit).

That’s an interesting question. I haven’t watched anything with characters that are acknowledged in canon as autistic, or about real autistic people, so it’s not one I can really answer.
Anyone else?

- queerkaradanvers said: Alphas is a show formerly on SyFy that has an autistic main character, Gary Bell, who’s portrayed really sympathetically.
dapuglover said: It depends on how they show the character. If the character is badly written and based off of many stereotypes it bothers me.
