Did anyone see last Thurs episode, where the Autistic or Aspergers Dr asks 2 people to squeeze her to calm her down?
This was a scene that was undoubtedly done with a lot of research into Autism, and in my opinion, the writers had read Temple Grandin's book. It was really interesting, and yet I wonder how much was dismissed or lost on the layman.
It will be interesting to see if they are able to bring this doctors mental health issues full circle into the public realizing & validating the needs and conditions of AS or Autistic people.
PS
And if any of you have not watched The Big Bang Theory - you have to. Leonard embodies our AS kids as successful adults. It is also really well scripted with writers who seemingly to understand the AS condition.
