How do you feel about portrails of Autism in media?

Hi All. I have been watching a lot of House lately, and just started “Extrodinary Attorney Woo”. I am curious to know what you all think of their portrails of Autism. Is it pandering? Representation? Romantisation?

Also see “The Good Doctor”, “Atypical”, “Love on the spectrum” etc.

  First episode was good, I liked it. It felt to me like a Korean + Attorney version of “The Good Doctor”, but also very lighthearted.
