I just watched the first episode of a series newly arrived on Amazon Prime Video. It's called Astrid, and it's wonderful. It's a detective show set in Paris, in French of course with subtitles, and the title character is portrayed brilliantly by Sara Mortensen. Astrid Neilsen is autistic and employed by the criminal records department of the Paris police force, and Commander Raphaelle Coste (kind of a chief of detectives) finds her a great help in solving a series of unusual murders. Astrid has a terrific memory, which is not uncommon among autistic people, and a terrific focus for details. This makes her a great asset to detective work and so we have the basis for our series.
The thing is, American TV shows which feature autistic people are usually well-intentioned and might well depict the autistic character realistically, but almost never show the quiet, almost underground community formed by those general society considers "different". In the pilot episode ("Puzzle"), we meet others who are not neuro-typical and we get to know them and grow to like them.
I once (briefly) had a girlfriend that most would call mentally challenged if they were being polite, and often something quite nasty when being impolite, and I met her friends. I learned there's a community among those invisible people; people we may see but not want to look at so we look away. Astrid, or at least the first episode, opens this door.
It's charming, funny at times, and a fine glimpse into French TV, a new thing for me.
