A Netflix series from Korea called "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" grabbed my heart. We have only watched one episode but it was great. Lynn compared it to some of the tear-producing episodes in "Call the Midwife", also now playing on Netflix. She said that both Extraordinary and Call can be a bit emotionally taxing.
Attorney Woo is autistic. The series opens with her father and her in a doctor's office where the father is worriedly stating that his daughter is five years old and has never spoken. The physician explains that is classic behavior for someone who is autistic. Public schools throughout the country have special teachers trained to help autistic children. Autistic people vary in how severely the situation affects them. Here is a short link to a Google search page on autism: t.ly/BC7y.
During the visit to the doctor, "law" is mentioned and the five-year old, previously mute, immediately fully and accurately quotes an entire page of her mother's law books relevant to the office conversation. Amazement erupts.
Sometimes autistic people are said to be "on the spectrum" since their symptoms can range from quite mild to quite severe.
Take a look when you get a chance.
