Not a step a forward I think.
I was diagnosed with a learning disability, although I’ve always been behind my peers. I have now regressed in life.

People on the spectrum should have had more input. Sam the character does not experience meltdowns or shutdowns. Communication issues and memory & recall. There is one scene where he has a ‘panic attack’.. a meltdown is distressing, embarrassing and can get you in trouble or some one hurt. They only time I could resonate when he was on the bus. Sorry to ramble, it’s what we do lol

I thought the series was kinda NSFW and very americanized. I think the main character is great, but the story, to me.. not a fan.
I understnad that in order to have more viewers, they put the guy on a date on the first episode and on a random episode I started, we saw a woman changing or so... happy to have dropped the series. If it was "cleaner", I might look back!

I HATED this show and all it's seasons. It's so ableist! Why isn't Sam allowed to talk about his special interests? Who died and made Paige queen or dictator. Why is she allowed to tell Sam when and when he can't talk about them? Also, why didn't his parents punish him for stalking the therapist and breaking into her home? Only somewhat likeable character is the sister.
