Famous autistic characters in media include Sheldon from Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon, Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock, as well as Dr. Murphy in The Good Doctor. Autistic media characters tend to be bad at masking (hiding autistic traits such as a flat voice, difficulty making eye contact, stimming etc to better blend in to wider society) and tend to be geniuses in a chosen special interest (comic books, medicine, solving mysteries etc.). Typically, these characters' autism is obvious to everyone else and their plotlines tend to revolve around their struggle to overcome their social challenges, triumphing by forming social connections and relations with other people and using their special skillsets to benefit those around them.
