      I’m autistic and I like the big bang theory.

      In sitcoms, everything is the punchline. That’s sort of the point of them. They take things to extremes for the sake of humor. I find shit like Good Doctor to be way more fucking insulting than an exaggeration of me and my friends. I can 100% be Sheldon at times, especially when it comes to Star Trek.

      Autism and nerdculture isn’t the punchline. Everyone who worked on the show was nerdy as hell. It’s the set up. The punchline is stereotype.
