2023-09-10 06:41:44 +0000 UTCThe autism representation in the media is shown but not in a good way. Its always shown as severe autism and many the times the character/characters can live on their own with us very common. My brother has severe autism and will most likely never live on his own but what you don't see is the not as far on the spectrum autism. And how good some of us are at masking it. My mom went 40 years without realizing she has autism because of how well she masks it. I mask mine most the time but in cases when I get overwhelmed or stressed I can't mask it because it's to hard to focus on "being normal" and not having a panic attack. Most of my family has autism and we are all on different levels of the spectrum. We all find ways to mask it and the part that they added about the whole "well you don't look autistic and your really emotionally intelligent" is lovely. No one person knows what autism looks like or understands it to the point that autistic people do and the way they show that plus casting an actor who is autistic themselves is lovely because they can show authentic representation versus what people and society expect autism to look like. I'm so very glad that they have her in this show and I'm excited to see your reaction to a later episode I don't remember which one but it's a good episode with Quinn.

2023-09-08 15:40:36 +0000 UTCYeah I was joking 😉
Kim Engel
2023-09-08 13:55:16 +0000 UTCI’m not sure either of you caught the joke at 50:27, which is understandable because it’s probably quite niche. Quinni responds to Sasha’s stereotyping with ‘OK, Sia’, which references the widespread dislike of Sia (the musician) amongst the autistic community due to a film she released in 2021 called “Music”, which depicted an almost caricature of an autistic person, advocated for the use of physical force/restraint of autistic people, and was supported by an organisation called Autism Speaks. This organisation is widely considered a hate group by autistic people due to the things they advocate for etc. Here, a (not so) fun crossover also arises between the queer and autistic communities, because one of the things propagated by Autism Speaks is a treatment called ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis), which shares its roots with gay conversion therapy! ABA, pioneered by Ivar Lovaas in the 1960s, used things like electroshock therapy to treat autistic children, by shocking them when they displayed autistic behaviour. This was later adapted to be used similarly on queer people. Ultimately they both work by punishing autistic/queer “bad” behaviour and rewarding non-autistic/straight “good” behaviour in an attempt to condition the person out of the “undesirable” behaviour. Apologies for the long comment but I thought it was an interesting thing to point out.

Kim Engel
2023-09-08 08:40:37 +0000 UTCI’ll try and find the link!
Kim Engel
2023-09-08 08:39:26 +0000 UTCI agree it is pure chaos. I binged but only persisted through the chaos because I wanted to know what happened to Harper. And just know the chaos continues and increases. However towards the end I grew to enjoy its many tangential storylines. I love that Quini character is brought to screen by actor who has Autism herself. Its lovely to see her story arc and have the story being told so naturally.

2023-09-07 22:48:37 +0000 UTCFun fact, Darren's dad is an original character from the first heartbreak high from 1994, the show this one is based on. His character, Rivers, was a racist, sexist, homophobic bully, so to see him as a sensitive parent to a black, non-binary, queer kid is a massive character progression we all needed. This actor , Scott Major, also played Lucas on Neighbours for years.

2023-09-07 21:54:24 +0000 UTCPaddle pops are frozen flavoured milk on a stick, popular with Aussie kids, come in many very artificial flavours. The sticks they are on look like the wooden tongue depressors used by nurses

2023-09-07 21:37:15 +0000 UTCI can't even explain how happy I am about Quinni's character. I've only seen the first two episodes because I'm watching along with you but it means so, so much to me to see an autistic wlw represented, especially so well! She even talked about masking! Do you know how rare it is to see that in media? Very! And I can't tell you how many times I've told someone that I'm autistic only for them to go, "but you don't SEEM autistic" and I'm sitting there thinking "you have absolutely no idea how hard I work every single day of my life to give that impression solely because I've never been allowed to just be myself." (Also they act like that's a compliment. Like...it wouldn't be bad if I "seemed" autistic. It's a neutral thing. It wouldn't be a bad thing if you COULD tell.) I'm kind of meh about most of the show (the only parts I'm into so far are Quinni and Darren) but I'm definitely hooked for her storyline.

2023-09-07 21:03:37 +0000 UTCquinni is my favorite <3 im autistic myself and its so nice to see actual good rep for once!! and the fact that her actress is autistic in real life is also a big plus. also, i wish i had a friend like darren omg im so jealous of their friendship

2023-09-07 20:58:36 +0000 UTCfun fact: Chloe Hayden, the actor who plays Quinni, is autistic in real life!
Noah
2023-09-07 20:37:54 +0000 UTCFun facts it's not actually a wig....... Little hint but the actor actually shaved their hair off on camera for this show so any scenes with Harper's long hair is the actors actual hair (idk the name of the actor) also I'm so excited to see your reactions to the rest!! And ofc to learn more about Quinn . They show her so well in this show!
