Like! I am very wary of over-selling it, because hype backlash is almost worse than no attention at all and I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, least of all my own. But I was startled at how many feelings watching it has brought up for me, especially since my experience of the spectrum as a gender non-conforming queer adult woman is as rare as hen's teeth in media--it's hard enough to find autistic adults portrayed with their own POV, let alone anything that gets near that. Unless, of course, they are Temple Grandin or someone thinly based on her.

(Who I share a special interest or two with, being an animal behavior researcher, and also disagree with very vehemently on a number of points. Yaaaay, I guess.)
