Looking for a good representation of an autistic character in NT social settings. Any recommendations? (lemmy.autism.place)

I'm trying to see what we look like in NT settings from a 3rd person view. Most of the examples I know are shows about autism specifically, but I'm looking for a more natural NT setting type of thing.

Edit: Looking for a normal show in which one of the main characters are autistic, but autism is not the central focus. My brain feels like it's gunked up lately, so having trouble explaining things. Like trying to run in a nightmare. iassgdgdsflsfd

Not sure exactly what you mean, but maybe Extraordinary Attorney Woo would qualify.

It's about "an autistic female rookie attorney hired by a major law firm in Seoul. Being different from her neurotypical peers, her manner of communication is seen by them as odd, awkward, and blunt."

There's significant attention paid in the stories to how her NT peers feel about interacting with her, in addition to her perspective about them. Quite an excellent show.
