Bully
Touch (U.S. television series)
Is that Bully the movie pal or the documentary? I ask because I'm looking for the autistic character in the film Bully and cant seem to find any reference.
I meant the documentary film. The family whose son had committed suicide (Tyler Lee Long) and thereby helped provoke the movie's production was autistic. Another of the film's characters (Alex Libby) was portrayed as being abused on his daily school-bus commutes. Long's parents and the film's director have described the boys as having been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao1jaBpTjgM and https://storify.com/CynthiaParkhill/sho ... ger-s-diag ).

TV Show Scorpion, probably.
ASD's are not mentioned the show is officially about a team of "brilliant misfits". The characters are socially awkward and use terms such as "us" and "the normals".
