I’m starved for good representation, I’m very tired of searching for it myself in the sludge that the mainstream internet has become, and I want recommendations. A summary of the work and what you like about it would be helpful!
With non/fiction, I am searching for works that feature autism as a major theme or element. Other creative works like essays, web video, streaming, or that otherwise fall under the “content creation” banner should have autism informing the work in some significant way. If it’s the kind of surface-level and/or clinical thing that shows up when you just search “autism” in YouTube, I don’t want it. God forbid it’s like Sia’s Music, or whatever the anti-vax crowd or Autism Speaks put out.
That’s why headcanons and autism coding exist.
General rule is that most kuudere characters are technically autistic, most famously Mashiro Shiina from Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo, but it has things that many might find a bit problematic, due to it being anime. If you want something with less anime-related issues and with kuudere boys instead, I can direct you towards Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Yamada-kun to Lv999 Koi wo Suru.
