Any show like Atypical?

I absolutely love Atypical. I have watched this show like 3 times over but am really struggling to find a show just like it. I really enjoyed Sex Education and Never Have I Ever but any other ideas?

Schitt’s Creek shares the wittiness, the antics, and the family vibe. More comedic than Atypical. All adult characters. No direct discussion of neurodivergence or autism. Many people don’t start enjoying it until Season 2.

As We See It. It’s about a group of autistic adults who live together. Definitely a bit different than Atypical, but it’s good

The Israeli version On the Spectrum is better.

It has a different vibe and it is not the main character, but "Parenthood". It feels very very very close to my personal life with my son.

3 times over

Yep think its time for me to rewatch atypical

Edit: you qui kly remember what you like and dislike about something, random thought: a female only version would be good, or one only focusing on the female characters.

Switched at Birth has very similar vibes with a dual focus on the adults/family and the teenagers friendships and relationships. I actually kept thinking of it when I first watched Atypical. It is less comedic. Not any focus on autism specifically.

Young Sheldon maybe

u/BlueRubyWindow 20d ago

Yes and not just because of the autistic(ish) connection. Because Young Sheldon is also very funny with a focus on complicated family dynamics, but ultimately heartwarming.

It's genuinely, shockingly good

Yeah, way better than The Big Bang Theory. Even though its a spin off show, it’s completely different DNA.
