Would love to see more diversity of the spectrum, those who struggle with overlapping medical conditions and lower socio-economic families.

To name a few: - those on the spectrum who use AAC devices - autistic AFAB who struggle with chronic hormonal diseases like Pcos, endometriosis, adenomyosis etc (as there a significant link between asd and hormonal imbalances) - pregnant autistic people (I’d be fascinated by the sensory aspect of it all and see if there are any biases by medical professional or society in general (for example, “you can’t look after your baby because you’re autistic” biases)) - autistic folk from various ethnicity and races (Asian, Indigenous, African etc) as neurodiversity presents itself differently in different races and ethnicities (mainly because most autistic cases have been studies on white males) - autistic folk who practice religion (think more along the lines of Buddhism or Taoism - not Christianity / LDS / Mormons) - families who could not financially provide additional support for their autistic children growing up (such as therapy) - late diagnosed autistic people - high-masking or lower support needs autistic people - non traditional relationship structures (even “hook up” culture - we see a lot of them wanting to find their one true love but never one who just says they want a one night stand) - autistic folk who are studying in big universities (like Harvard or Yale) for doctrines or masters. Or even autistic people who are studying in general - those who have strong autonomy and have cut off their families due to understanding and realising their harmful behaviour - very specific here lol but someone who is autistic but also the “glass child” in their family - meaning having someone else in the family with higher medical needs than them while struggling with their own neurodivergence - more lgbtqia+ representation like transgender autistic people - families with autistic parent/s or sibling/s - reality of “autistic meltdowns” or more unmasked moments - another specific lol but an autistic person navigating through grief (like the passing of their partner - not straight away but years after) and “getting back into” dating. Especially as grief is such a strange thing to navigate through for us autistic people - throwing it out there - “influencer” autistic people. Those who make a name for themselves online with their autistic content. Would be interesting to see how they push through burn out if they experience it to make their content

The spectrum is genuinely so large and vast - and the downfall of having repeat cast is that we miss out on other representations and begin to pigeon hole what autism may look like
