What are your favorite tv shows with autistic characters? I love atypical and big bang theory. Are their any shows with autistic female leads?

The A Word is a favourite of mine.

MaxE has cited good examples of autistic female lead shows. :mrgreen:

Astrid et Raphaëlle [2019-?]

It's in French but we saw a broadcast of their first season with English captions and enjoyed it.

(Oh...it was just called Astrid when it was broadcast here.)
