I have never looked at the news the same way after watching Nightcrawler.

Atypical really gave an amazing insight into how neurodiverse people experience life and what their challenges are. One of the very best shows I have ever seen. Refreshing to have the main character be neurodiverse but no the butt of the joke like other shows used to deal with the topic most of the time.

It also showcases the many issues around someone with such a different life.

Helped me to be kinder to myself just as much as simply being more considerate of people around me. I don't know them. I don't know what is going on in their mind and why they act like they do. While I always attempted to be respectful of everyones reality, getting such an intimate and respectful glimpse was pretty important.
