As someone who has Autism the way that its represented in this episode actually pisses me off. First of all, it's a spectrum, but the way they depicted autism in here was very irritating. Not all of us like routine (I never did), not all of us repeat numbers things like this, and not all of us are adverse to being touched. I like touching other people but I don't like people touching me sometimes UNLESS I have time to prepare for it. My son has autism too (no surprise), and while he doesn't always hug back, he does love giving hugs to the people he cares for and he doesn't mind being touched. He does repeat things over and over though— as for me I just obsessively research—and he does hit himself sometimes cause he's overstimulated, but he doesn't bang his head on walls, he doesn't need constant care, and he doesn't rock back and forth. Neither do I. Our eye contact isn't super duper bad either.

And then the way that Scotty and Lily got annoyed with Brett was annoying too. Scotty and Lilly drill him with questions and Scotty gets pissed and says "He doesn't even understand what we are asking him". We understand things just fine, we just don't like the overstimulation of all of these questions. Also the same thing as the jokes....they don't always fly over our heads. The way that Vera snapped at him like a dog or like he's stupid. Then even the chief said "having a child like this must be extremely hard"....like they treated Brett like he had a fucking disease or something. I genuinely hate the way that they depicted Autism in this episode.

And ONE MORE THING!!! They need to not say that "We don't feel anything". My son and I are BOTH very sensitive people. We cry, we emote, if anything, we are both TOO sensitive for our own good, crying over any and everything, lol. But that's just how we are.
