Sadly I was only able to get 1 episode in until I had to turn it off. As an autistic adult, I found it rude and uncomfortable to watch. It depicts these ADULTS as if they haven't learned at all what is and isn't appropriate to say to people. Maybe we weren't born with the innate awareness of social queues but we can and do learn them. While we sometimes "make mistakes", a lot of the time we just see and do things a little differently. It just felt like another show to let neurotypicals gawk at and exaggerate our behavior. I found Atypical more relatable honestly, and the autistic character wasn't even played by an autistic actor. If you're looking for a realistic depiction of autism I'd suggest the show Everything's Gonna Be Okay. There are multiple autistic characters with multifaceted personalities and they all deal with different autistic traits and struggles
