Last few years I have noticed a trend in movies/ TV, some books.

The main character has AS or autisitic traits, but they do not say one way or another if the character has AS or autisim.

This bugs me, on one hand they want to show people with these traits, but they want the audence to keep thinking they are NT by not saying they have AS or are autistic.

I believe Anna from Phi brain has aspergers... mainly because she acts like a mirror version of me...

But it shocks me how many people in the media do not say whether or not the person as aspergers or autism unless he/she is... REALLY out there!
