films/series with autistic characters?

piggy1401

hiya, 

strange question and I'm sure it's probably been asked before but i couldn't find it.

can anyone think of films/series which have characters with ASD?

for example, Sam from Atypical, Raymond from Rain Man, Shaun from the good doctor...

thanks xx

  • The Imitation Game (Alan Turing biopic), The Accountant, and The Night Clerk are all ones I've watched recently, all recommended to me by Netflix (the algorithm appears to be offering me lots of films with autistic lead characters!). The Imitation game was excellent but quite sad if you know some of his story. I don't think they mentioned autism but they used a load of common stereotypes to make sure the audience were in no doubt. Other than that I really enjoyed it.
