I have just watched the 1st episode of A Kind of Spark thanks to @PetitPas
It’s a Irish British American Canadian series. In Canada I’m watching it on CBC Gem, in the UK it seems to be on the CBBC channel, for the others countries I don’t know.
I like it because the 3 autistic sisters are played by autistic actors, use of the words autistic, masking, meltdown. etc. Shows sensory overload, etc., ignorance and bias.
If you have an autistic loved one, please watch the show mentioned in the first toot if you can.
If you are autistic, please tell me what you think of it. I know that it won’t talk to all of us, but I’m seeing so much of myself in the series even I have learned only at 49 that I was autistic.
I know that the show is not perfect but for me it’s the first time that I’ve seen such an accurate representation of our experiences and suffering.
@adelinej@actuallyautistic oh US, I used to be a kind of a bad consumer of less then licensed goods mostly movies and music books on demand until I had a run in w some malware, particularly nasty, I blame that so I swore off content pretty much unless I really want to watch it. I just was thinking of trying an episode just to try it out .
