I watched Mary & Max the claymation animation for maybe the 17th time yesterday.
In a random Google search this morning I came across an 'Autism Anthem' - a YouTube compilation of film clips from:
Skins, The Good Doctor, Power Rangers, The Accountant, Scorpion, Parent Hood, Jane Wants A Boy Friend, The Story of Luke, Jack of the Red Hearts, Atypical, The 4400, Girl Meets World

What do you think of attempts to portray autism in these, or any other, films or TV programmes?
Are there any accurate, positive, helpful representations of autistic people?
I'd love to know your thoughts!
Saga Norén (Länskrim Malmö) from The Bridge.
Yes! I was surprised when some people said the character was overdone or not, in some way, quite believable. I could see a lot of me in there, put it that way. Probably an uncomfortable amount, if I am being honest.
I've been over the bridge too, many times - I lived in that part of the world for a while
