Atypical

So this weekend I have been really poorly (boo) but I spent 48 hours in bed watching Netflix and managed to watch ALL of Atypical (yay!).
I have to say I really enjoyed it, mostly because of how it dealt with the wider implications of autism - so for example the direct and indirect effect it has on his mum, sister and dad. The relationship between Sam and Casey I thought was really believable and realistic.
I do however agree that Sam is often a walking stereotype, but much less than in other representations of autism (for example Sheldon Cooper). I would like to see female representation for sure!
