I hate this fucking show. The fact that it's run by the same dude who made House is mindboggling.

Atypical. While the protagonist’s actor isn’t autistic and the first season was criticised for a lack of autistic actors, the latter seasons did include autistic actors. Generally I think it did a decent portrayal of someone with ASD (which can be hard given the wide breadth of how neurodivergent people present).

I said this in another comment, but he commits several crimes over the course of the show and there are never consequences. It's not a good portrayal.

The only good portrayal of autism in that show is the main character's sister, but sadly that's only head canon.
