Hi All. I have been watching a lot of House lately, and just started "Extrodinary Attorney Woo". I am curious to know what you all think of their portrails of Autism. Is it pandering? Representation? Romantisation?

Also see "The Good Doctor", "Atypical", "Love on the spectrum" etc.

I haven't seen Woo but my mother who is an attorney with autism really likes it

First episode was good, I liked it. It felt to me like a Korean + Attorney version of "The Good Doctor", but also very lighthearted.
