It appears they didn't consult with anyone who's actually on the spectrum, which makes me worried about the portrayal.
Seconded. My previous mention of nervousness about the portrayal just went up quite a bit. Why couldn't they just hit you up for some help, Alex? Surely anyone with the idea of dedicating an entire episode to ASD would know about your work with "The Bridge." That seems like basic research for media portrayals these days.
I told my girlfriend about the episode and she sees no way that Farkle could be on the spectrum. I'm predicting a train wreck.
