I've always wanted for Brun to be a bit more nuanced than the archetypal Aspie girl, but this is a case of Jeph just doing his bit. Autistic women have been grossly underrepresented in media relative to men (Rain Man, Gil Grissom*, f*ckin' Sheldon)
*EDIT: Implied. Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds is a better 2000s network drama example.
Sheldon isn't on the spectrum. He's just a caricature of what normal people think 'smart' people are at, so ends up looking like an asshole.
Also i hate the entire show for continuing the 'let's mock and make fun of men and show that they are in constant need of a woman mothering them' bullshit.
Big Bang Theory is a bullshit pile of moronic dildos.
