steris is such incredible autistic representation to me

like i don’t speak for all autistic/nd people and i don’t even have an official diagnosis rn (am working on jumping through those hoops) but the way she’s portrayed really makes me feel happy bc it’s showing this woman who does some really incredible stuff and is clearly functional within society also having trouble with thinking you think differently than everyone else and that you need to change that to fit in and struggling with understanding social cues and facial expressions

and her character is so much more than her being autistic and we’re not being told that she’s done the incredible things she’s done in spite of her being autistic because that’s not how that works. she’s done incredible and noteworthy things, and she’s autistic. idk if that makes any sense at all but seriously it means the world to me when i see representation like that
