I’m trying to see what we look like in NT settings from a 3rd person view. Most of the examples I know are shows about autism specifically, but I’m looking for a more natural NT setting type of thing.

Edit: Looking for a normal show in which one of the main characters are autistic, but autism is not the central focus. My brain feels like it’s gunked up lately, so having trouble explaining things. Like trying to run in a nightmare. iassgdgdsflsfd

Abed from Community is autistic. It’s a comedy show not centered on him. Also there is no mention of autism in Resident Alien but the central character (being an alien learning human behaviour) did resonate with me a lot.

You can also read through this list, there are a lot od autism mentions for many characters - https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DiagnosedByTheAudience
