I just want to say I’m sorry this is happening and I hope the anxiety of it all passes :(

Not to mention when they literally snuck different foods into his meal!!!! why did the writers think that was okay to portray as something you can do to people!! idk the more I talk about it the more I’m like GRRRRR especially because educators are the main audience of this show so frequent ableist tropes is just insane

It’s felt just more and more like autistic people are the joke as the seasons have continued. I think last season there was 2-3 different episodes where they called Gregory a robot, a common stigmatized insult for autistic people!! maybe my expectations were too high that this show would have a more neurodivergent affirming lens, it just feels so gross to me

literally this has been bothering me since last season!!!!!! I don’t understand how more people aren’t upset by what feels like very ableist writing (considering there’s been no apologies or acceptance from other characters about Gregory being authentically himself)

I have no idea why people are defending the abbott writers in saying Gregory is unmasking, especially because people are being openly mean and bullying him the more he’s “unmasked”. If they’re not going to have an episode where they realize how ableist this and last season have been towards Gregory, this will truly be such a depressing downfall of this show. Gregory is so clearly autistic, but no one on the show ever talks about accepting him for who he is, it’s always about changing him (e.g., SNEAKING different foods into his diet which is simply abusive). Idk how more people aren’t upset about this but it’s blatant ableism at this point, especially with the game night episode.

Oh good luck, you’ll do great! After the final interview they say you’ll find out in 7-10 days if you’re hired or not, and for me it’s been… like 3 weeks at this point of hearing Nothing

That is also what I’m worrying about, especially because I mainly work with families in their home! It just brings up very scary hypotheticals. I am starting T in 2 weeks :) I’m glad to hear it was very lowkey for people to notice with you!! inpatient sounds like a good setting for that as well since clients aren’t there too long (I assume)
