Gregory on Abbott Elementary is coded as autistic.
James (The Glow Up, S2, on Netflix) has Tourette's and his stress-induced tics are part of his journey on this UK reality show.
Shaun Murphy (The Good Doctor) is autistic.
Army Wives is an old show (it's still on Hulu, I think) but the character Roxie is dyslexic.
On Game of Thrones (I just finished a rewatch), Jaime Lannister was dyslexic. There was a scene (S1 or 2) where his father, Twyin Lannister, commented about Jaime getting letters mixed up while reading so he sat with Jaime every day for four years, reading with him, until the letters "made sense".
there’s this show Will Trent where the main character is a seasoned detective who is also dyslexic and it plays a big impact. he does things like takes notes with a tape recorder instead of a notebook and also tries to hide his struggles especially in early episodes.
yeah! idk if it streams in the uk but it’s rly good, i started watching it bc of my mom (who almost never watched shows anymore) getting rly into it!!!
Hey 👋 I resisted it for so long… just every crappy Christian TV series or movie in my mind. I absolutely love it, and watched it every single night after my daughter was seriously ill for about 6 months.
I believe Reacher is Neurodivergent. Never got it from reading the books, but the show really had me feeling it.
I’ve heard good things about the show, it’s on my list
This makes sense. Now I have to re-watch the series. 🤓

Thanks Tiffany! I missed the GoT reference!

Beth Harmon from The Queen's Gambit is coded as autistic!
You also have The Good Doctor. And I think main character in Bron is also.
Thanks I’ve heard much about this one haven’t seen it yet
Orla from Derry Girls is coded as autistic. It was refreshing to see her character on the show.
Ok thanks! I know it’s an oldie but I feel uncultured that I still haven’t gotten around to watching it yet
I thought Matthew in The Chosen was extremely well done.
Yes I was able to notice right away. Never thought I’d see another fan of The Chosen here 👋
