Welcome to Everything Neurodiversity! In this first episode of our brand-new "Yakinar" series (yes, we made that up—because we yak our heads off), Robert Bernstein and Marcia Eckerd are joined by the insightful Dr. Stephen Shore for a spirited discussion about autistic characters on TV and what they mean for public perception of autism.
From The Good Doctor to Extraordinary Attorney Woo to Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, we explore how the media portrays autistic individuals—the good, the exaggerated, and the potentially misleading. Do these characters help create understanding, or do they reinforce stereotypes?
