[QUOTE="Fran, post: 219149, member: 3"] It's charming to see so many more characters portrayed with AS/High-Functioning Autism (HFA) on the TV. Unfortunately, so many more are not functioning to that level that I fear it gives a bit of a stilted view of this disorder. It's wonderful to be in the top tiers of functioning but it is not the majority. To paint a picture of quirkiness doesn't quite portray what most of these folks deal with. Susie, I will be glad to watch this show. It always gives me more insight into how my difficult child's brain works. [/QUOTE]
