I love Bones! And not just because I love Anthropology.

Brennan is prolly one of the best role models for young ASD women and girls on TV right now. Finding TV depictions of women on spectrum is hard, Finding positive ones are harder, but finding ones that are also attractive? nearly impossible! 

Yet on Bones we have a smart, Successful, attractive woman on spectrum, who gets to do a job she loves in her Special Interest Field.

We also get to see her social interactions in a way that shows both her weaknesses and her strengths, as well as her solutions for certain things. Her Best Friend is Angela, the Arty Social NT working as the facial reconstruction/data retrieval person who often points out Social stuff she doesn't get. And we get to see some of the romantic relationship issues, too.

Over in the notable quotables thread, we started sharing lyrics, but we all posted so many I figured we should have a thread over here for our favorite or most memorable lyrics!

I prefer reality shows. My favorite channels are: Discovery Health,  TLC, Animal Planet. I rarely watch actual movies. Of course, I watch alot of cartoons with kids around.

Please please Please tell me I'm not the only Doctor Who fan! :D :D :D

What positive role models do you think there are in TV for women and girls on the Autism Spectrum?

I really like the television series House.  I have heard some suggest that he is an Aspie.  I'm not so sure.  What do you think?  Any other House fans out there?
