I'd recommend watching episodes 1-11 before calling it a day. 11 is the perfect end, and only goes downhill from there.
I'd also like to point out that while the beginning is relatively accurate in portraying autism, after episode 11 it begins to drop the ball. Autistic people can cope under pressure, they aren't cold-hearted assholes and they do not lack empathy. Although the beginning is great at showing that autistic people can and do handle the same jobs as NT people, after 11 it instead shows that apparently even an autistic savant will crack under pressure and from too much stimuli.
I have many other issues with this show, but that is the biggest one for me. It's telling people that autistic people can never succeed, at least not at the same level as neurotypicals. And that is a completely damaging lie. 3 years 3 months ago
