| I thought the show was good. Could be a great series, time will tell. I can identify with William in general, and certain things hit home, as I expect the people producing the show were hoping to do. As far as empathy is concerned.. For me, it is often a matter of overloading easily, similar to how ... |

Way late to this thread, so apologies.
I would also suggest "Songs Of The Gorilla Nation: My Journey Through Autism" by Dawn Prince-Hughes, Ph.D. (can find here on Amazon). It is her autobiography (thus far, at least), but was relatable for me. I really enjoyed the book. |

| I devoured the first four books, but I learned the hard way to not get too attached to any of the characters. As soon as I can find the money, I plan to watch the series. When suggesting this series to anyone, I always include the disclaimer, "Great books, great story. But, do not get attached to a... |

| Here comes the hate mail... I loved the first four seasons, and even liked the first several into season five. But, part way in, it was like they found out that "the cool people" liked them, and began to act like... not themselves (and more like performing fools, as means to stay " in" with those "c... |

| ^I think Bill was tricking Gary on purpose. This is what caused me to try and adapt. My being Autistic shines through despite this though, as I often miss it when I am the one it is happening to. As an observer, I will catch things, but many times no harm was ever intended, it is just me reacting a... |

| In the latest episode, when Bill tells Gary he will let Gary drive, I smiled and turned to my better half and said (while laughing a little), "He did not tell Gary when he would let him drive. Gary is going to be upset. But, Gary will likely get to drive by the end of the episode." I have a very, ve... |

| Really surprised it has not been brought up yet (except for 2-3 passing mentions in another thread) One character, Gary, is Autistic (Aspergers). In tonight's episode, there was a girl that was non-verbal, and initially called, "low functioning Autistic." I will refrain from saying any more, do not ... |

| I made an effort to not stim, including rocking, when I was younger, since it was associated with mental illness. Since Autism was restricted to the LFA side when I was a kid (60's and 70's), I had no idea why I was like I was. The part that upsets me is that I substituted chewing my fingernails and... |
