I know how some people will dismiss Heated Rivalry but honestly some of the most thoughtful Asian/autistic representation I have seen on television. The pressure of being the “model minority” and just being a POC in a white dominated field, and the way that the main character’s (not discussed, but canon) autism is handled so thoughtfully by the actor. The character genuinely means so much to me.
