I like the thought of a show dealing with a neurodiverse family, as well as the "day in the life" show following people with ASDs. I'd actually watch those and I don't like television! :)

I actually am writing a sitcom about some autistic people, as a side project. Not that it's going to actually be made (I wish!) but I would still like to, say, record a pilot episode eventually, but that would require getting the script through a network. It's a long shot, but who knows? My biggest challenge from here is making it something that could be marketable to the general public.
