Review of Brontë Mansfield’s “TV’s Best Depictions of Asperger’s”

Brontë Mansfield, I particularly enjoyed this edition of TV Tuesdays! This discussion of those with Asperger’s, in the lens of fictional television, was interesting and creatively pushed the bar. There was a strong connection between the personal narrative of your family dynamic and television’s current Aspergers representation. I appreciated the humanizing tone this article took while still being critical of why these representations are powerful. The video inserts were very helpful to follow along with your mentions and make the experience of reading more inviting.

My personal favorite representation is Virginia Dixon. Ugh, so chilling. Fantastic work.
