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.
I think it’s pretty widely available with English subtitles if you’re interested. There was also an American remake, but I don’t know whether the portrayal was as good there, I didn’t watch it.
Yeah for sure! I am pretty good at putting things in their historical context, so old media that would now be considered offensive or insensitive doesn’t bother me much on a first viewing. But rewatching things a decade or more later can be eye-opening (and almost differently difficult) because I’m not prepared for it.
