I don't understand why there are so many individuals stating the show exaggerates or skews autism symptoms. My son is on the spectrum, and in the autism works when you know one person with autism, you know one person with autism. That is why they call it a spectrum disorder. I feel this show did a great job of depicting Asperger's syndrome or high functioning autism. The actor is on point...lack of eye contact, sensory processing issues, blurting out inappropriate things, not being able to read others feelings, social struggles, his obsession with one subject, his outbursts...all the way to his food preferences. They also did a great job with how the sister is pushed aside and the marital struggles due to the stress of the autism. The fears the mother has reminds me of myself. I highly suggest this show; especially for families who have been blessed with an family member who is autistic. I hope it will be back for a second season.
One of my personal favorites.
This series is one of the top 10 series I have ever seen. It is unnaturally refreshing, and it always makes me feel happy or even sad.
The first season is perfect and the second season is better than the first and the third has episodes that I consider the best in the series, so I will say it with confidence. I hope that the fourth and final season maintains its current level and its current rating is 8.3 and deserves to enter the top 250 list in the best list because it is the best.
The gorgeous characters Sam, Casey, Zahid, Evan, Elissa and Doug are all superb.
Even if the fourth season is not good, I hope the series maintains its rating and I hope a comfortable ending
10/10
It's nice that there is finally a well written series starring a kid with autism... great cast of actors . Great story lines.... Well thought out... well done folks! Great work by all involved, and Michael Rappaport's the Dad! Jennifer Jason Leigh did a great job of producing this series... character development is really well done. What can I say more? Watch the series
How can you make a show this amazing and only give us 10 30 minute episode's and leave us were you did. I NEED season 3 now. This is honestly one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. Thanks Netflix!
I relate to so much of the quirky things throughout and enjoy so many scenes! Keir Gilchrist is so great as Sam, crazy how he hasn't been nominated. I rarely use Netflix cause I watch so much other stuff but this is always worth it; I have adapted over the years to love my autism traits even though it's very difficult too! I am so glad ASD has become more known at least to some extent some people don't know what it is and that's always awkward. Regardless of anything Atypical is phenomenal and I always appreciate every episode.
