How 'Atypical' Star Tal Anderson Found Her Path as an Autistic Actress

I was excited to interview Tal Anderson, a young adult actress with autism who is the co-star of season three of “Atypical.” She plays the character Sidney, a college student with autism. I was amazed [...]

Actor Keir Gilchrist on 'Atypical' Season 3, Autism and Mental Health

Autism 7y

Do you see motion in such a way as to see people and things on a sort of trajectory — like a line from where they are to where they’re going?

My son, HFS and aged 17, doesn’t want to get his driver’s license because his brain is constantly analyzing trajectories such that he describes seeing a sort of line of light from where people, cars etc are to where they’re going. Is this something that anyone else can relate to? #Autism #Aspergers #Atypical

Atypical S2. THE MUM

I'm watching Atypical S2. Anyone else utterly disturbed by how the family are treating the mum? Yet again another woman painted like a scarlet harlot and shunned by her clan. They act as if she is so disposable. It is really shocking me!! #Atypical #Parenting #Autism #women #autismparent

'Atypical' Season 2, Episode 6 Recap: 'In the Dragon's Lair'

If any episode of Netflix’s “Atypical” could turn viewers around after its laughable first season, this one is it. Season two, episode six of “Atypical” addresses nearly all of my problems with the first season. Not only does Sam’s (Keir Gilchrist) autism feel more realistic, but the family dynamic is more genuine and the overall [...]

'Atypical' Season 2, Episode 5 Recap: 'The Egg Is Pipping'

I watched the entire first series in one sitting last year and have been eagerly awaiting the second installment of “Atypical.” The first series resonated with me and my family in more ways than one as we are an autism family. This episode begins with a flashback to 2004, when Sam (Keir Gilchrist) was first [...]
