This is partially correct. An actress with ASD joins in the last season.
They also have had ASD consultants (medical people, not people with ASD themselves) for their entire run and emphasize that ASD people are unique. They repeatedly reiterate that the main character is not representative of all people with ASD but they do have quite a few cringe-inducing scenes throughout most of the run.
It's a soap opera, man. It's not a great representation of anyone but I give them points for trying.
What do you mean? Soap operas can have excellent representation!
Passions had the best "doll brought to life by a hag" represented on TV ever!
Holy fuck, Passions.
I'm not from the US dude, i don't watch these kind of things.
Is that so? I don't watch the series, also, soap operas as far as i know are usually a latin american thing (Mostly on countries like Venezuela and México)
Technically I believe they call it a medical drama but it's quite "soapy" one could say based on the repetition and quality of plot lines. I think you're thinking of telenovelas for Spanish speaking countries. Soap operas are basically the same thing as telenovelas with some regional cultural variation.
