Easily one of the most requested topics I get is to discuss the representation of Autism within Star Trek. And it’s not surprising why. Star Trek’s most popular and enduring characters have often been those who have neurodiverse personalities, from Spock to Data and Barclay to Tilly. Star Trek has been littered with numerous characters that autistic people have identified into. So let's analyze why Star Trek has continued to speak to the neurodiverse community for over 50 years. ✔REFERENCES✔ Star Trek Book on Autism - https://www.amazon.com/Explore-Strange-New-Worlds-Understanding-ebook/dp/B0794VZKFP Spock and Autism video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1vcEXpQNhI Jessica Kellgren-Fozard's excellent video on Autism - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7q2A3ic0-w&t=218s Toon Ruins video on Autism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM9bZqyeX8c ✔ SUPPORT ✔ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jessiegender PayPal: https://paypal.me/jessiegender ✔ OTHER PLATFORMS ✔ Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/jessiegender ✔ SHOP ✔ Book that I Wrote: http://a.co/d/atfibBA ✔ SOCIAL MEDIA ✔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessiegender/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jessiegender Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jessie.gender1/ ✔ OTHER PROJECTS ✔ What the Frell podcast w/Council of Geeks: https://councilofgeeks.libsyn.com/ ✔ CONTACT ✔ E-mail: [email protected] Mail: Coming soon!
