I am a big fan of a Polish tv show, "The Colors of Happiness" -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barwy_szcz%C4%99%C5%9Bcia and quite recently an aspie character appeared in it. His name is Kacper and he is an eighteen year old boy. He is not officially diagnosed so far but his psychologist claims he has Aspergers for sure. There was also another aspie character in it, Mia, who died after overdosing drugs and it was her parents who noticed later on that Kacper, her new classmate is like their deceased daughter. Even if she seemed more borderline to me rather than as aspie when i was watching this. Kacper is socially awkward, has sensory issues, doesn't know how to show tenderness to his gf Magda and when once she tried to seduce him, he didn't even notice her attempts. He follows stiff routines, for example it is said by his grandpa he uses only one mug and once he refused eating breakfast when he saw that there was not his favorite food he always eats. He also hates being touched which he showed when Magda once tried to hug him. Kacper is also a very smart boy, he gets the best marks at school. His obsessive interests are astronomy and music.
That's nice to see that the knowledge of AS starts to seep into the minds of Poles. Once there was also another small boy presented in one TV show a couple of years ago in one episode but he was VEEEERY stereotypical, more like a robot rather than a normal human child, aspie or not.
