Main character of dungeon meshi / delicious in dungeon
I'm tempted to say Abed from community (the TV show) the representation could be considered subjectively accurate.
The social situations are a bit contrived though, given it's focus as a comedy, so it may not be useful as a representation of real life interactions.
Star Trek: Discovery has Cadet Sylvia Tilly, a character who's not identified as autistic but is very coded as such (e.g. in her first scene, she seems to have trouble with picking up on social cues and talks a lot, and she had to get a different fabric for her bedsheets because of "special needs"). her portrayal is very respectful and positive, and as all the characters get to know each other they make an active effort to be understanding and accommodating towards her and treat her like the capable officer she is
Atypical was a great representation. The main theme is the main character's autism, but people around him treat him different ways. His mom is over protective but his sister treats him completely normal. His best friend essentially ignores it and learns tons from him. The varied reactions and ways they interact with him are great from everyone in the show.
I love that show and Sam! He's right, too. Olive Garden doesn't have unlimited bread sticks. There has to be some sort of limit. Even if you can eat one bread stick in 30 secs like a machine and you go there on the day they're open the longest (Friday for 12 hours), that's 1 bread stick x 2/min x 60min/hr x 12hrs = 1,440 bread sticks. They're not going to keep the place open until you decide to finish eating bread sticks, especially because you're eating all the bread sticks. It's complete bs.
If you ask me, a ton of musicians look and act like they have autism, and that's incidentally the most positive such relationship I've seen, because it's people who lack (normal) natural expression overexerting themselves to accomplish it in a setting where that's expected and accepted, and then people actually enjoy it, so great.
Luz Noceda from the owl house is very not neurotypical. situations can be a bit high fantasy, but some of them are oddly grounded like her getting scammed early on
Walter White in Breaking Bad? Dunno how officially canon the autism has to be.
