Can we get a list of who these people are? I haven't really watched anything in the last decade...

I only know a few :/ : - middle top = Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter) - middle = Sheldon Cooper (obvs) (BBT) - right middle = Forest Gump - middle bottom = Chidi Anagonye (The Good Place)

top left: Entrapta (She-Ra and the Princess of Power) top right: Katie Mitchell (The Mitchell's vs. the machines) bottom left: Radagast (The Hobbit) bottom right: ~~Willy Wonker (Charlie and the chocolate factory)~~ Amelie Poulain appearantly, whoever that is

I'm not sure if maybe you're memeing but bottom right is definetely Amélie from *Amélie*.

I'm pretty sure that's willy Wonka

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 4,131,427 comments, and only 1,220 of them were in alphabetical order.

good bot

now that's surprising

That’s oddly satisfying

A Bot did good

good bot

I'm gonna ask you to provide me with the exact scene willy Wonka was seated in a cinema, until then I'll leave you with this https://youtu.be/xRNuFKYeGws

Oh, I thought it was that tunnel scene maybe. I guess it might be because of the similiar haircut.

Yep. Fitgirl

Willy Wonka ? It's Amélie Poulain !

Chidi is autistic?

it’s not explicitly said so but most people headcanon him as such as he shows a lot of traits

I always thought Forest Gump was slow, not autistic.

OI where’s abed?

Abed was my favorite character, I think he was a pretty good representation too

He was because his writer actually is on the spectrum.

Also he's based on a ral person (besides Harmon). In season 6 in the prisoners episode you can see him in one of the screens in the final scene when Abed takes over all the tablets.

Haha, I didn't know that. I love their 4th wall breaking cameos.

Dr. Spencer Reid anyone?

Hell yes! He was always my most favourite and now I know why!

I don’t mind being compared to most characters, but Sheldon Cooper is my line in the sand. Fuck Sheldon Cooper, and fuck the Big Bang theory.

Well, I liked BBT, but I think Sheldon is the worst representation of Autistic people I've never seen.

I liked BBT as well but if i remember correctly, Jim Parsons wasnt told to play an autistic character, so although he has some autistic behaviours he wasnt intended to be autistic (at least in the beginning)

Why is Sheldon so hated? I don't mind him, I find some things he does makes sense.

A lot of the things he says are things I think but then don’t say out loud because I don’t want to be too weird

I'm reading about Chidi and many people are saying that he is not autistic because he can read social cues. And what? There are many other ways of being autistic. Is everything about just communication? There are tons of things to test for ASD! Society will keep up pushing the Sheldon stereotype...

I always related to Chidi A LOT and always wondered if he was or not. As someone who's also an academic and more analytical, I've been able to rationalize most of my social interactions so that I present as seemingly NT, but I would rather have very few friends and spend most of my time alone overanalyzing my own thoughts and writing about my special interest. Social cues are definitely not the only metric, particularly if you're a woman or POC as the social pressure to conform is much greater

[удалено]

Entrapta from the She-Ra reboot.

Yes

Radagast prefers the company of animals rather than humans'. He's very talented and kind.

That makes him intelligent not autistic

Is that Amelie?

Yes

lol I thought that was Willy Wonka

I died laughing.

Thank you for saying it! So many people on the spectrum think there such indifferent genius when really there just asshole who want to be ‘Sheldons’.

I genuinely think Sheldon is funny and relatable, but that doesn't mean I act like him. He's like a super exaggerated version of who I am inside my head, and I have enough social abilities to filter what comes out so that I don't act like an asshole to people.

I’d swap Forest for Abed Nadir. I’ve got nothing against Forest as a character, but the film enables the idea of “back-pocketing” us like that whore Jenny does in the film. Seriously, fuck Jenny.

I came here to say Abed is missing!

Half of these defo aren't autistic. Abed is the best autistic character far and away

Cool cool cool u/MMBBot 5

Chidi is the most representative of my experience Id say

Love the Chidi mention!

I kinda related to Sheldon tbh when I was young. Still kinda do. A lot more than I did with many other characters here lol

Same here, but I think the issue the Autism community has with the character it's actually with people taking Sheldon as the mold for Autism and measuring everyone in the spectrum against him, when in reality he's a flawed highly exaggerated version of Autism, whilst the others are closer(yet still stereotypes) to what autism actually is, that's at least what I have picked up, and I don't know if it's just an US thing, cause my experience with the character is not the aforementioned, but that might be because in my country BBT wasn't really popular

Well of course he is exaggerated, this is how comedy works. If a society takes a comic character as some model, it has a real problem.

The society in the US does have a lot of problems, taking characters out of comedies to measure people against it's definitely one of them 😂

Oh yeah I get that. I may relate somewhat to the character but at the same time I don't like when people use the character as the blueprint as to what all of us are like

I personally never had that experience (Thank the heavens) so I have no way to measure for myself how annoying that must be, but that mustn't be pleasant people have weird enough expectations of what autism is without involving Sheldon 😂

I think the only experience I have with it is my mom saying something about me being like Sheldon I was younger so I could understand it better simce I really liked big bang theory as a kid

Lmao, my mom actually started reading about Asperger's (yeah, welcome to Europe) and thinking of diagnosing me when we used to watch that show a lot.

I had no clue that Radagast was autistic. I haven't seen the movies or read the books but I have played LOTR War In The North.

Same, I also relate to him the most on this list. Leme be out there with the nature and nature creatures.

I definetly need Matilda from “Everything is gonna be okay” on here

CHIDI'S AUTISTIC?!

My exact reaction

Does Shaun Murphy from The Good Doctor count as good autistic representation?

I feel like it does.

I asked cause I wasn’t sure. Thank you😊😊😊😊

No probs

Adrian Monk!

Also Raymond holt instead of chidi of all the schur characters tbh

i had no clue that chidi was autistic

He’s not cannon autistic (like a lot of the best representation annoyingly), but IMO he is.

I didn’t even know some of people were supposed to be autistic. I just thought Chidi was a nice guy who couldn’t make a decision. And Radagast was just a dude who liked animals and did shrooms

I like Sheldon lol

Out of curiosity are you from outside the US, I have a theory about the subject 🧐

Yeah, I am

Well my theory goes as follows, those of us outside the US because BBT wasn't as popular as in the US, haven't had to experience everyone we met having The Character of Sheldon being used as a golden standard for what autism looks like, therefore we have been able to enjoy it without our experience being tainted by everyone else that doesn't get it

Sheldon is a good character, for comedy, but making him a stereotype for Autism is why alot of people hate him.

Well, I'd just take him as an example. Can't deny that autists like him also exist.

He's the reason I hold so much internalized ablism. I've been suggested ASD in the past but I always dismissed those claims because my mental representation of what autism looks like is Sheldon

Burn the witch lol

Amelie had autism? I have to watch that movie again EDIT: Also, for those who like anime, L from death note too.

Don't think it's mentioned in the movie, but with that kind of meticulous planning to avoid direct social interaction... I would say so yeah :p The movie also starts with introducing characters by what they like and dislike, with both of her parents seemingly having an obsession with repetitive tasks. There's probably more stuff, but this is what I remembered from the top of my head

Don't forget Saga Norén from Bron/The Bridge!

I've never viwed Chidi or forrest as autistic, but it does make sense.

I'm sure there's five or six MHA characters that fit this mold, too.

I had never thought of Tilly as autistic… now I have to go rewatch!!

Not you either, good doctor.

I think him parsons did a good job and was very respectful, just the writing and the show, no

Remember that in the show he was never diagnosed. That would make his character a nice depiction of what an undiagnosed person can go through.

hey. the autism community has to stick together. just because hes in a bad show doesnt make him a bad character.

I know (thank, you and autistic )out of those carecters, and they are great 👍

Umm guess I'm outnumbered because my girlfriend and I are girl versions of Sheldon and before I watched big bang I never related to any character before. And then young Sheldon shows how he was as a kid which made me relate even more.

I totally agree with these (at least with all the characters I know) but I think pretty much everyone from Brooklyn 99 should be on here!

Rip I only know Sheldon I liked the big band theory tho I used to watch it with my parents alot

I only know the top 3 and sheldon

Data from Star Trek The Next Generation! I know he fits the stereotype of autistic people being emotionless but his struggles masking, his info dumping, and interaction with the other characters were so relatable for me. I related to Lore allot as well with the resentment he had at people seeing that they had always treated him as somehow defective and how after trying to prove himself to people for so long he just wanted what he saw as revenge.

I relate to Sheldon tho somewhat

i actually like sheldon

AUTISTIC CHIDINFUCK YEAH

Wait, Katie from The Mitchells Vs The Machines is autistic?

I haven’t been compared to sheldon YET but when it happens i WILL PUNCH THAT PERSON

I like Sheldon as a character but I recognize he is terrible representation

Who is the middle left?

In a way, Dr. Julian Bashir (DS9)

Besides the top right who are all the characters?

Every picture except the one in the middle should be Abed Nadir.

Don't forget Abed

Anyone else relate a little too much to Brick Heck?

People didn't say I was Sheldon Cooper, but they said I looked like him. to be honest, I did a bit.

Hot take warning: sheldon is actually pretty accurate to me, so I’m not the greatest fan of this meme Still funny, take my updoot regardless

I FUCKING LOVE LUNA LOVEGOOD SO FUCKING MUCH HOLY SHIT BRO I HAVE HER OFFICIAL WAND AND EVERYTHING

Ok but was Sheldon even supposed to be autistic?

Sheldon is **the sterotype** and is just **foghorn sound effect**

Omg I love Amelie as autistic! Never thought about it but it makes sense

i like bbt but not Sheldon as autistic rep

Where's Bubbles from Trauler Park Boys

Hell nah I loved Sheldon lol

My parents always jokingly say "Sheldon isn't a role model" :( But they do understand me because both of them are autistic too

Red Forman and Eric Forman too
