If you could make a episode of a non or already existing show which tackles autism or special needs in general how would you make it?

I'm think of making a fan fic where butters from southpark finds out he's on the spectrum.

I don't think Butters is on the spectrum. He just has as*hole parents and is afraid to do anything because he gets grounded for everything. That's obviously the written characters though, and I like South Park :D

Unless you just like that character and want to write him as being on the spectrum?

It'd have to be a soap opera for me, because I like watching soaps.

I really like Sherlock Holmes. So, I would be happy if one day someone created a version of Holmes where he really did have autism.
If I were to create a TV show based on this idea I would set it in the present (like BBC Sherlock), but have it set when the characters were teenagers.
I would like it to be animated. Each episode would focus on a different aspect of autism. I would include other characters who are also on the spectrum.

Yeah I thought it would be a fun idea.

I thought about him heing so innocent and everything and imagined if instead of having bad parents they were just over protective due to being on the spectrum . :) I love South Park too.

I have a few questions

Who do think is the most likely to be on the spectrum one aspie and one autie?

Also if cartman was diagnosed with somthing ( on or off the spectrum) what would he be diagnosed with?

Cartman would be diagnosed with NPD or ASPD.
