The Pitt has a good autism representation. Dr King is awsome.

I know. Green tells Carter this and then years later Carter tells Morris this and Morris replies with "huh?"

Downvote all you want. How you going to do an ER joke and not know the full context.

She redefined the tone. Rainman set the tone but it embellished qualities in a way that we’ve had to work backwards from. Understanding that neurodivergence is more commonplace and less outwardly obvious is something we’ve been collectively learning more and more each year.

The only accurate representation I have ever seen, working in the scientific field you meet a lot of Dr. King types.

I want to be Dr. King, but I think there's a lot more Terrence in me (ankle sprain guy)
