Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a 2010s wave of neurodiversity docs that helped shift hiring practices at companies like Microsoft and SAP. The show aired on A&E, not exactly known for nuance, making its restraint almost shocking.
Many subjects later became disability advocates; the show's real legacy is the employment pipeline it helped legitimize for autistic and Tourette's candidates in corporate spaces.
