| Any other thoughts or tips? Maintain a creative, yet professional tone. Keep the lighting diffuse, if not dim. Keep the noise level to a minimum. Keep the temperature on the cool side, so that those of us who need to wear heavy clothing to feel secure can do so without the risk of heat exhaustion. ... |

| Abed from Community. I loved Abed and was gutted when Troy left the show and they tried to turn Abed into someone else. He was perfect they way he was. As a side note I saw Dan Harmon interviewed and talking about the character development of Abed and how he (Dan) came to recognise his own Asperger... |

| Thank you for all your replies, they are very useful. I'm giving a talk next week and this topic so I may well use some of these replies (anonymously of course), to support the presentation.

| Hi all, The phrase "wired differently" is used all the time in reference to autistic minds (but not so much for non-autistic minds really). How do people feel about that term? Is it a useful metaphor for helping to explain autism in an easy way? Or does it just add to the 'Othering' of aut... |

| If this was done for creative reasons, we would be learning of it in the episode it happened, then all the talk afterwards would be about how the time was right, how they had great ideas about how this would break new ground, new creative possibilities, and how it was going to shape and impact the ... |

| Fantastic news, I think. There'd been plenty of rumours that the 13th Doctor was going to be female and it's now confirmed with the appointment of Jodie Whittaker. She's a great choice IMO having starred in Broadchurch and Attack the Block in the past. It'll be really intriguing to see the new direc... |

| Hi all, I'm an NT writer of SF/F and weird fiction stories and I'm new to this forum. I've recently started writing a novel about my childhood as the brother to an autistic sister. I'm trying to reflect on how Jenny's autism has influenced my own creativity by bringing together my passion for sci-fi... |
