I know Young Sheldon isn't always popular with other autistic people, due to the way Sheldon is written as the stereotypical, socially-clueless supergenius (as is Dr Sturgis). I get this.
But consider the way autistics tend to cluster. What if we look at the whole Cooper family as autistic? Or at least Sheldon's parents, both of whom seem autistic to me. What if we look at other characters as autistic, including Paige and Dr Linkletter?
