The whole premise of this show is just ridiculous to me. If I were making a show about Autistic teenagers dating...
-
It'd be like, "And so let's work on decolonizing ourselves and our beliefs and treating other ppl decently."
-
"Here is a lesson about enthusiastic consent."
-
"Here is a lesson about asexuality and aromantic spectrums."
-
"Here is a lesson about trans stuff."
-
"Here is a lesson about racial justice."
-
"Here is a lesson about why we aren't nice to Aspie supremacists."
-
"Here is a lesson about recovering from mistakes and sincerely apologizing and doing better."
-
"Here is a lesson about why self-dx is valid."
-
"Here is a lesson about Disability justice."
-
"Here is good sex ed."
-
"Here is where we don't assume Autistic ppl don't date Autistic ppl."
-
"Here is where we don't make non-Autistic gaze jokes about Autistic ppl."
-
Like, this Atypical show is just "Autistic teenagers dating is a really funny idea and also Autistic ppl are so weird aren't they?"
-
"Autistic boys just need to be taught how to do toxic masculinity like non-Autistic boys and they'll be fine."
-
I dunno, it's like these ppl have no imaginations.
-
Autistic ppl manage to date. You could just... ask Autistic people about dating.
-
Someone should make a webcomic about Autistic teenagers dating.
-
And also not dating.
-
And like... Autistic adult mentors.
-
(Okay, look, I'm basically thinking of Assigned Male but for Autistic ppl.)
-
Well, maybe more like a cross between Assigned Male and East Los High... for Autistic ppl.
