Lol, like I have ever had mental bandwidth. Childhood trauma represent!
Spot on with the “I’d really like to get the depression under control before I let you function at your job.”
Because fixing the unfixable is somehow more important than making sure I keep my job so I can like…eat. And live indoors. And afford the healthcare that is paying them.
I would welcome getting to turn down the volume of my sensory issues. It causes more distress than acceptance can fix.
But girls are gross! We can’t let our city streets and parks be sissies!

Crazy, I’m a geologist and that has not been my experience at all. Nerds as far as the eye can see in both undergrad and grad school.
Huh. I thought the video was going to be The Geologists are Coming before I read the rest of your comment.
Technically I believe they call it a medical drama but it’s quite “soapy” one could say based on the repetition and quality of plot lines. I think you’re thinking of telenovelas for Spanish speaking countries. Soap operas are basically the same thing as telenovelas with some regional cultural variation.
This is partially correct. An actress with ASD joins in the last season.
They also have had ASD consultants (medical people, not people with ASD themselves) for their entire run and emphasize that ASD people are unique. They repeatedly reiterate that the main character is not representative of all people with ASD but they do have quite a few cringe-inducing scenes throughout most of the run.
It’s a soap opera, man. It’s not a great representation of anyone but I give them points for trying.
It’s an American remake of a K Drama featuring a medium to high needs savant person with ASD becoming a surgeon. The scene depicted above is a narrative mechanism the show uses as a way for the audience to see his thought process in a visually interesting way.
The show has plenty to dunk on but there’s nothing wrong with not having an actor stare into space for 20 seconds of dead air while the character thinks of a creative solution.
Edit: I should note a similar mechanism was used all the time in other medical shows like House

Good ol’ grannies (granodiorite). They’re important and diagnostic 'round these parts. Migrated down from Canadia we reckon.
Can someone explain to a layman what that less dense (appears darker) area is about? Just a random section of fewer stars or something else?
Oh no, they were full on messes who had no idea why. But I know. Too late, but I know.
And my parents’. And some of my grandparents’.
MASHED potatoes…
DAE catch the live marathon on YouTube for the anniversary? Fuck I forgot how absurd these shows were.
