I started watching this series called Extraordinary Attorney Young Woo and even though I’m only 3 episodes in, I WANNA GUSH ABOUT IT because I’m really enjoying it!
The series stars Young Woo, who is an attorney on the autism spectrum, which is what pulled me in as someone on the spectrum!

And while the series does kinda start like that with Young Woo as a character, she’s different enough
The way the series handles her autism to me comes off more as a
‘Wanting to teach the viewer’
And sure, you do see her colleagues look at her, tilt their head, give weird looks to one another or at Woo, but over time (each episode is like an hour) you see them understand, not diminish her

I also understand too, for the sake of it being a show, the Autism has to be “played up” a bit more for it to be either entertaining or educating
