Autism is my special interest (I am autistic). I wish there were more episodes. My friend has already had interactions with his work colleagues who watched the show, they now understand the concept of masking. As anyone with a special interest, there are obviously a lot of nuances and really specific details that I would have loved to have been discussed but given the target audience, this show has had a significantly positive impact. I think it's perfect.
So happy that another non-speaking individual was included in the first episode, that made me feel very represented and heard. Did an amazing job at showing how each autistic person presented very differently to one another. It fills my heart with joy and my eyes with tears !!! :) I have never been able to explain sensory overload, so that part was also a wonder to see. I am so happy that the people involved have been able to find an effective way of conveying these feelings and experiences that we, as autistic people, often find impossible to describe.
