How do you feel about portrails of Autism in media? (programming.dev)

Hi All. I have been watching a lot of House lately, and just started "Extrodinary Attorney Woo". I am curious to know what you all think of their portrails of Autism. Is it pandering? Representation? Romantisation?

Also see "The Good Doctor", "Atypical", "Love on the spectrum" etc.

@CameronDev@programming.dev I've never seen a kind, let alone helpful depiction of autism in media. And that's even more awful considering how I've heard a lot of other autistic people become fixated on media and use it as a kind of social augmentation.

@CameronDev@programming.dev By the way, does anyone know if my Stars or Reaction from Misskey/Firefish/Mastodon will turn into upvotes on Lemmy/Kbin?

I have no idea, you can always try staring this comment and we can see? Hopefully no one else does.
