  • The Good Doctor, a show about a surgeon who is fighting his Hollywood Autism, complete with all the stereotypes, and trying to get through life and career at a hospital. Plays very hard into the “idiot savant” trope.

    It seems like an ok show from the bit of season 1 I watched, but then I had an Autistic kid and learned I was Autistic myself and had a deep dive into Autism life… And yeah it does a pretty poor representation of it and I don’t think I would want to go back to that show by this point.

    There’s a lot of us neurodivergent folks in tech because it suits our needs better than a lot of other fields, and a lot of us just love technology

    We’re more prone to being LGBTQIA+ than neurotypical folks, scientifically documented

    Makes sense tech would have more trans folks as a result, we pad the numbers a lil bit

    This is of course a generalization and actual ND/LGBTQIA+ presence is going to vary based on job, location, how insufferable management is, etc, and not all NDs are LGBTQIA+ and vice versa.
