Has anyone ever seen the TV show "Scorpion"? (en.wikipedia.org)

It’s a bit of an older show (2014-2018), and while it doesn’t mention autism specifically, it does center around several people who are clearly neurodiverse, using their unique strengths to solve a wide range of complex and difficult problems while also trying to navigate their individual challenges when interacting with the...

We may not have everything pinned down yet, partially because of the "I am/my kid is special too!" movement; but if several or more symptoms aren't shared, the specific label shouldn't be shared. (lemm.ee)
