Probably the cowboy beebop character
That's Ed.
pretty soon people on the spectrum are going to realize what the rest of us know: we're all cunts. bastards. shitbags and utter ass pimples of humanity. we're all shite and the ones that get loved are the rare fraction of the 1% of humanity, and they're rarely worth it either.
Personally I'd rather avoid people entirely.

As We See It was good. The autistic characters each had their own issues, strengths, difficulties communicating with neurotypical people and finding their ways to fit in (or not) in the world, and were actually played by people on the spectrum. Everyone I know who's seen it really enjoyed it. It's a shame that they didn't get picked up for a second season, because the writing, story arcs, acting, and character development were all great.
Yeah over the years I've watched Autism go from millennials' joke of the century to genZs' new fad... and yeah it's making me lose even more respect in people.
It is nice to see autistic characters develop in a fantasy setting. I think it is not so much about the character as it is about its circumstances.
People hated Wednesday? What?
Where did anyone say in the post that people hated Wednesday?
No, they obsess over the character, which means liking it more than is healthy, I think.
