I think Max on Parenthood is a terrible depiction. As the show has progressed, he has become a very selfish, rude person, none of which is due to AS, in my opinion. I think that his parents babying him so much for having AS has morphed the character into somebody who feels entitled to everything they want out of life. And if they do something wrong, they blame it on having AS. Those parents don't teach Max any manners or respect whatsoever, and I feel that it's just making more people think that those with AS are selfish and mean-spirited like that. My mom's a diehard fan of the show (I watch it solely for Max scenes- and fast-forward through the rest 
), and she can't stand Max, either. She rarely sees any connection with my behaviors/AS.
Oh, and there's no way Max would win middle school class president, let alone receive a standing ovation during a speech where he reveals he has AS.

I also think Reality Tv has a very negative effect on anyone.
