Mayim Bialik, fictional neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory and real-life neuroscientist on autism sprectrum audicence:
"It’s humbling to meet people for whom our show means so much. I love comic books and science fiction and people all along the nerd/geek spectrum. I don’t think Comic-Con is weird or creepy or anything but people who love the stuff I love (except the TV shows because I don’t watch anything on TV now). I like that our show means something to people. I love that people whose kids are on the Autism spectrum love our show’s representation of quirky people with obsessions and compulsions who function, love, enjoy things, have careers, and just ARE. I’m grateful to be a female scientist on a show about scientists."
