i have always been a fan of manga, comics, visual novels and video games, especially those of asian creation. (Being asian myself, it is more relatable.)
i haven't come across a lot of them with accurate depictions of people with special needs though. Though there are a few with mental disorders. I am hoping the forumers have more to add. I probably missed out some, but here's what I can think of off-hand.
