Hey,

I’m an Aussie but I speak French. I’ve created a French wiki. The interwiki link is coming soon.

Anyway since I’m contributing here I thought I might introduce myself.

About me: diagnosed ASD/ADHD, gamer (Minecraft is the greatest), sports fanatic, soccer player (lifelong Sydney FC supporter group “The Cove” member), tennis player, graduated, I like history/geography, and I listen to rap (Eminem is the best)

I’m from Queensland, I live on the Gold Coast.

Interesting facts: I can speak two languages and have a considerable command in Tok Pisin, I’ve met the guy who is currently Opposition Leader (David Crisafulli) but is gonna become the next Premier of Queensland (a Premier is like a Prime Minister of a state), etc

Recently watched this series. Was quite good.

Cheers!

Shall there be a wrap up which was produced by the final season?

I think Doug is one of the best characters because, he found a best friend, he is strong,emotional,loving and kind and understandably he was INCREDIBLY mad when Elsa cheated

Zahid is an absolute king, why do people dislike him? Maybe he's a little bit of a ~ahem~ Quagmire, but he's my favorite character! Sassy male hairstylist vibes~

I'm Nat and I love this show, it makes me feel pretty seen. Zahid is the best character, no arguments. Also, Zahid x Sam is my favorite ship. I also kind of like Beth x Casey. Lol.

Hi, My name is Toasterbath2, and I'm a teenager and a member of the autistic community. I also have ADHD. I would like to share my views on the show.

Firstly, as an autistic person, I found Sam difficult to relate to. There are tons of factors that contribute to that, but mainly

-Most autistic people aren't lucky enough to be diagnosed at age four like Sam is, especially if they're part of another marginalized community (people of color and those assigned female at birth are less likely to be diagnosed because almost all autism research has historically gone towards little white boys

-Robia Rashid is not autistic. Yes, her son is, but the only ones who are really able to comment on the autistic community are autistic people

-Kier Gilcrest is also not autistic. I'm sure Kier is a decent actor, but as an allistic person, he is incapable of accurately portraying an autistic character. (and autistic actors do exist, see Chloé Hayden, who is autistic and plays Quinni Gallagher-Jones, an autistic main character in the Heartbreak High reboot)

Next up, it's how the characters treat Sam. Elsa and Paige are the biggest culprits. Elsa is a classic "autism mom". Her whole personality centers around the fact that her kid (who is an adult, by the way) is autistic. You're not "strong" or a "superhero" for having an autistic child. That's just being a parent. And Paige? oh, don't get me started on Paige. the whole card system made me so upset. For an autistic person, sharing your special interests is sharing your soul. restricting the ability to do that makes it harder to relate to others, and show others that you relate to them

On the topic, the show always treats Sam like a burden to the allistics around him. Autistic people are not a burden. We're people. (that being said autism is intrinsic to who a person is. You cannot see the person without seeing the autism.)

This show is not made for autistic people. It's made for allistics to feel "woke" by watching it

Want some good autistic representation? try these shows

Heartbreak High (2022)- One of the main characters is autistic and is played by an autistic actor

Dead End: Paranormal Park- Norma Khan's character draws on creator Hamish Steele's experiences as an autistic person

Wednesday- Wednesday Addams has been a sort of paradigm for autistic people for a long time, and though she's not diagnosed, she's exploded in popularity within the community after the release of her solo show

I come inhere every night but I have a horrible memory and can never remember how to get it to play. I just keep clicking on stuff until finally something happens. Why isn't there a button that just says "PLAY"?

So in the last few months I read a lot of people have been hating on Doug for leaving the family and I'm tired of this. STOP HATING ON DOUG!!!! Also stop saying Casey had the right to be angry Doug because she had no right! What Doug did happened 18 years ago! Casey has no memory of what Doug did! Give Doug a break! At least he came back! Also we never even saw flashback's of Doug leaving the family

Although I do admit I did hate Doug in season 4 but I find it ridiculous that people hate Doug for something we never even saw him do and that happened 18 years ago

Why is it cute and adorable for Casey and Evan to have sex when she is only 15 years old?

Casey and Evan slept together when Casey was fifteen. Evan was born in 1999 and Casey was born in 2002 (on the fifteenth of March). There was a chance they slept together when Casey was 15 and Evan was 18...

They definitely were dating when Casey was 15 and Evan was 18. Am I supposed to believe that everyone was okay with this? Especially her over-protective parents?

Gives me the creeps, especially if my maths is right. Don't really like Evan, as much, anymore.

Sorry guys I have a question. There's a scene where Sam talks to a puppet and his mother sees the strange conversation so she decides to get involved in the conversation, by pretending being the puppet. So Elsa can ask questions to Sam and he answers. Can you guys tell me which episode is?

It's Doug's life. If he doesn't want to tell anybody about something he shouldn't do it. Also, autism or not, Sam is still Doug's son. In my opinion Doug didn't do anything wrong. Also Elsa shouldn't even care that Doug didn't tell anybody Sam has autism

In my opinion yes. That happened 13 years earlier. If i were Doug i would've told her "Casey that was 13 years ago. Move on. Don't be angry"

This is just my opinion on each characters though.
