Haven't TBBT creators gone on record that Sheldon isn't autistic? He's not a statement about autistic people at all.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah that never works. People want their representation [as long as it is genius-level protag who pwns everyone and/or sexy hero figure ofc] and they don't let anything like authorial intent/competence stop them. See : BBC Sherlock.

[(Anonymous)]

But Sheldon's neither: he's a punchline if anything.

[(Anonymous)]

But he always gets away with saying/doing nasty shit to other people. It's the ultimate fantasy, ot just for people with Autism. I've seen many people proudly declare that they're just like a real-life Sheldon.

da

and that's why I hate tbbt - I know too many people like him irl and I can't stand them. anyone who makes him a role model? I shudder.

" It's the ultimate fantasy, ot just for people with Autism. I've seen many people proudly declare that they're just like a real-life Sheldon"

yeah and there's also plenty of people with autism who hate him. So fuck off with declaring it "the ultimate fantasy"

[(Anonymous)]

The "ot" was supposed to be "not", so calm yo tits.

[(Anonymous)]

Regardless, he isn't seen as desirable person to be and more often than not is at the butt of the joke. Pretty far cry from a power fantasy if you ask me.

[(Anonymous)]

And Barney's womanizing is also "the butt of the joke", but that's not how men read it. They see characters like barney and Sheldon as their role models.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, there have been tons of articles about how he's bad autistic/aspie representation

[(Anonymous)]

He's pretty clearly autistic. Parsons has said that the writers won't say it because they don't want to be dogpiled more than they already are, but he's confirmed it (while he's not a writer, he has produced several episodes and I think directed some as well so he isn't approaching it merely as an actor).

But you can't seriously look at the character and say he isn't autistic. Be reasonable.
