Dr. Melissa "Mel" King is a clearly Autistic character in The Pitt, played by Taylor Dearden (who is openly neurodivergent).
In the first 2 eps she stims, has minor social issues, hums, stands in atypical poses, has some intense emotional moments, etc … well done representation.

Neurodivergence isn’t a flaw or a phase. It’s how many people learned to survive in systems not built for them.

I did a research presentation on autistic play and included information on monotropic flow. I also interviewed some of my autistic friends about their experience of it.

In @thendbee.bsky.social & my chapter on the lived experiences of neurodivergent undergrads, we barely touched on monotropism.
