Oh, and I did feel they did justice to the sensory sensitivity thing, in the one episode where they even mention it. The way they switch back and forth between the noise being blaringly loud for Sheldon, and completely absent for the other family members, felt all too familiar. The degree of effort he puts into silencing it was pretty spot on, too.

Of course, if it were a real autistic person they were writing about, sensory sensitivity would have at least one mention in every single episode.

The episode where he sends mail to NASA... I did that, too, with a design for a shuttle. What I did not do is follow up w/ a trip to the office and show off my ground breaking higher-level math; I was in 3rd grade and my "design" was an utterly useless 3rd grader's drawing. It didn't even have 3D perspective.

My favorite so far, though, is when the physics prof that Sheldon idolizes mentions to his SO while eating vanilla ice cream that some vanilla "extracts" are actually extracted from beaver anal glands. I laughed especially loud at this one because I have literally shared this same factoid with exactly the same bad timing. :D

I'm watching Young Sheldon. It's very clear to me at this point that whoever invented the lead character had a lot of experience with someone twice-exceptional, but only a superficial understanding of why we are the way we are. The character is too rich to be made up out of thin air, but too shallow for the writers to have really understood it. It's also very much a highly exaggerated caricature. Still, even as I cringe at the kind of impression of 2e people that folks might be taking away from the show, I've gotten a few good laughs and I see a lot of myself in the show.

Rewatched parts of #bigbangtheory the other day, and sure ... born in 1974, my dad didn't spend any quality time with me either. I had do look up gutting a fish in a book, as I was doing it at as a 9yo.

So I never got that joke when Penny had to gut the fish in season 6. #genx

"The Big Bang Theory" was a meaningful show for Emily Osment when she was young, so starring on its spinoff, "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage," is something really special for her.
