I hated how a lot of TH-cam video essays and online discourse have boxed Jess (and most of Zooey Deschanel’s characters) into the “manic pixie dream girl” and “I’m not like other girls” stereotypes. She’s a fully fleshed out and developed character who exists for more than fulfilling a male fantasy and she’s relatable to a lot of neurodivergent people!
Also tho like, frankly, I feel like some “manic pixie dream girls” are like exaggerated autistic girls…bc before I knew - I related to the manic pixie dream girl, even tho they are supposed to be not “real” characters. 😂
Jess getting riled up to get her stuff back after punching the pillow is so me when I get an instantaneous uplift of motivation and if I don’t go for it straight away it’ll fizzle out and I’ll overthink it
Schmidt is actually canonly diagnosed with OCD and Anxiety. OCD is name dropped multiple times, he is on medication for anxiety, and at a point he has a conversation with his father where he (his father) explains that he has OCD and that it runs in the family, Schmidt responds by acknowledging that he also has a lot of OCD traits. I really enjoy his presentation, especially him constantly checking in with people and their thoughts on if what he’s doing is right (not necessarily morally, but if it looks right, if he’s presenting himself right, just that constant questioning and striving for things to finally be just right). There’s a point where he has a complete spiral around if he is a good person after doing something bad, there was just a lot of thought put into how OCD affects this character in every aspect of his life, not just one area which I feel a lot of OCD presentations on tv fall into. I personally have Nick as ADHD, Jess as Autistic, and Winston as AuDHD in my headcanon. On a separate note, I think Winston would be a Leo rising, but a Cancer moon or sun for sure, at the least Cancer Venus, I recognize too much of myself in that man for him to not have some strong water placements.
This show has been a top 3 for me and is likely #1 since I can rewatch it at any time and fall in love with it all over again. As a middle school teacher, my proudest moments in life were the 2 occassions a student told me I reminded them of Jess from New Girl 😂 I gave both students a free homework pass and felt like a goddess for the week.
Please do more of these!! I’ve always seen Jess as autistic and i think that’s why i always felt really connected to her!! Also, i found new girls only in like 2019 i think but i think i’ve rewatched it at least 7-8 times now!
I just got diagnosed with ADHD in my 20s, and I just rewatched New Girl. I strongly believe that Nick has ADHD! I related to him so much. People don’t talk about this enough!
The music thing is so real. I make so many playlists because of this because I have to have the right music on to help me in whatever situation I'm in. My go to when I need to shut my brain down is orchestra waltz songs because it soothes both my adhd and autism in a way that lets me turn my brain off. Think stuff like vivaldi's winter and stuff like that.
Don't know if you know this anime but could you do this with Haikyuu?? I've always thought the main character (Hinata) to be ADHD and his rival (Kageyama, my favorite) to be autistic. That's one of the many things that make their relationship interesting to me
yessss. honestly the end of season 1 when kageyama is trying hard to learn how to smile and give compliments to his teammates always felt like autism to me. nd his bluntness in general. also good idea considering that since the movie has been released it's now kind of popular again
My dynamic with my dad and brother is a lot like Jess's with her roommates. They help me stand up for myself and I think I help them be more caring. Nothing more satisfying than when you suggest something like Curly Sue knowing they might not want to watch it and then they love it.
26:31 I've never heard someone else verbalize this before, I feel this so much as an autistic person. I've always felt guilty because I feel like it's not nice to expect other people to do things for other people the way that I do. But it feels very affirming to hear it coming from another autistic person
can u please do more episodes of this... new girl is also one of my autistic comfort shows im realizing-- and i feel like looking at autistic traits through a show i love so intimately would help come to terms with my own autistic traits
New Girl is my #1 comfort show, coincidentally followed closely by Bones. I'm taking a little break from it but I usually watch all seasons at least once per year. Oh, and I started watching it pretty close to when it first aired so I have watched it many times through.
I loveeeeeee new girl😭 i discovered it in middle school (im 23 now) and ive rewatched it probably 5 or 7 times. Not that many but im just afraid ill exhaust it if i rewatch it too much but you gave it more life for me 😭😭💗
I've been called rude ditsy obtuse weird all kinds of words and I'm left clueless bc I don't understand why the person is mad or verbally insulting me. Bc I don't get passive social cues and silent rules. I've definitely tried to be nice and kind (like Jess example with breakfast for Winston) but to find out I'm told I'm rude. It's confusing and exhausting.
Love that you’re doing these videos. New Girl is one of my comfort shows too and have watch it probably 30+ times all the way through. It’s part of my dna at this point. I am just learning about my neurodivergence so I never thought about it from this perspective. I love all the complexities of the characters.
I loved the show as well and I always wondered why. I might rewatch the show now and identify autism-related traits that I didn't initially understand were autistic because I didn't know that I was autistic back then. *edit*: Netflix has recently lost the show. I hate how unpredictable that is, that's why I'm autistic. In some way however, I felt like Jess and some of her roommates were typecast as these embarrassing characters that you have to laugh at because they are so weird and stupid, but I empathized with her and her roommates rather than laughing at them. I didn't really see the show as funny, but more like something I could relate to. I rarely laughed because I generally rarely laugh (autistic stereotype, I know).
I literally feel this misinterpretation thing! In a past relationship I was going to meet my partner at the time's friends for the first time, they were chatting about some crazy stuff that happened in their childhood. And I simply said "oh wow I didn't even know that was possible in 6th grade I guess I didn't hang with that crowd." And they then told my partner at the time that I was acting like a b*tch and was judging them for their childhood. I was so upset I came across like that because I really thought we were all getting along... I was just in shock from their story and couldn't really relate. But he didn't stand up for me and my intentions either - he wanted me to make it right - but I just felt uncomfortable with these people from here on out because how do I fix that? I guess that's why we are ex's now. Lol
It really speaks to me how you would use this show as vehicle to learn social dynamics and script. That is something I would really subconsciously desire doing myself all the time throughout my life, especially adolescence, but always felt very discouraged or shunned from ever allowing myself to properly practice and adopt. Is there any room for this as an advisable course of action for neurodiverse people? There are definitely very clear limits for where to draw the line of what one should learn and adapt from media as far as what's realistic or healthy human behavior, but at the same time there are nuggets of great real world wisdom and colorful, exemplary characters/portrayed social interactions that could only ever be expressed so wonderfully human if they were grounded in authors real world examples. Even being very media literate and having a really well trained eye to spot the differences now as an adult, I still find it so hard to truly know.
I rewatch every year! I never even thought to think of Jess as autistic but hearing you explain her mannerisms I could totally see it! I'm so tired of seeing people learn about new girl and just writing Jess off as cringy-quirky, or manic pixie dream girl, like she's a full fledged character with flaws and heart and I love to see it!
this is one of my comfort shows too! i very much identify with Jess. she's very autistic-coded. but i think she had a very supportive home growing up, and i love getting to see that. i also agree with you that nick is adhd-coded. i think Schmidt has some OCD traits and Winston has many AuDHD traits. i was so excited when you made the post about this video! this was so fun, thank you!
I started new girl back in quarantine (2021) when I was a junior in highschool. I always had chronic loneliness episodes and one of the worst ones happened that year, I felt like i was in one sided friendships and I was going crazy about it. I remember I started new girl and i remember vividly the end of the second episode I felt so warm and happy. I thought I had a good show on my hands. I have the worst record of friendships which hurts me deeply cause I always valued friendships greater than life the reason being my relationship with my "family" has been broken since I could remember. I instantly fell in love w NG cause I could live through they're dynamic. I loved Jess and always defended her watching the show cause she was so me coded lol. Winston would probably be my favorate character and I see a lot of neurodivergent traits in him as well. I think people headcannoning my favorite characters as autistic and neurodivergent is so heartwarming and validating to see. I don't have a diagnosis for autism but I find a lot of clarity and validation through them.
idk how many times i've rewatched but i've been watching since i was in college and i graduated 10 years ago lol but thanks to you i'm gonna rewatch again
I loved this! I would welcome all the New Girl coverage you want to make. I am ADHD, but new to the idea that I might also be autistic. and I learned a lot from what you shared here. Thank you! 💜
New Girl is one of my shows too. I discovered it in June of 2020, during the height of the pandemic. I had just quit kratom and was having terrible mental withdrawals, and that show (among others) was a lifeline for me.
I love the whole part of jess where she literally can't say no to people. Like she clearly hates the fact that shes driving spencer and rochelle to the airport, she is visibly miserable, and then when it cuts to the next scene you can see shes absolutely been crying by herself in the car. Which is so ME. Like i will say yes to everyone even if i literally hate the person (toxic people pleasing anyone?) and then be so miserable when im doing it, wait until i get a second alone, and then immediately cry
I always rewatch New Girl when I miss my home besties. My partner and I are very much Schmidt and Cece and our friends are very Nick and Jess, so this just reminds me of our friend group a lot.
I think I saw part of an episode once. This was years ago and idk when or how or why, much less why I only saw that little bit. Now that you've reintroduced me I definitely Need to go watch more though.
i've been watching you over a year i think and saw this video when it came out. i came back to say i started watching new girl and have absolutely fallen in love!! thank you for sharing your perspective on it. i relate so much to nick and jess (and they both feel very audhd coded haha)
It's interesting. I tried watching this when I was younger but didn't fully get into it, I think because I wasn't at that stage of life yet (like wat you were talking about for later seasons). It's happened to me with other shows where I'd try watching them in high school but really get into them now (19 turning 20). So, I'll try watching this again. I genuinely laughed this whole video.
Once my husband (who has adhd) accidentally knocked over a table of a bunch of jars of plant cuttings I’d just made and was really excited about and it broke some of the jars and made a huge mess and I burst into tears.
I thought it was the 2012 Tumblr-esque nerd in me. This makes so much more sense. Jess, yes! My favourite autistic headcanon is and always will be Will Graham, but, oh boy! Nick and Jess vibe that well for a reason. I also feel like there's something going on with Britta from Community too. The whole gang feels on all kind of spectrums somehow. Annie is ADHD/ADD, Abed (sometimes maybe Jeff too) is canonically autistic. Troy, I dunno, maybe also ADHD? Dean Pelton is beyond words, please. Chang has different issues and oh boy, there are so many.... Well maybe the loser sjw in me relates to Britta only, who knows? Also I think Rebecca from Crazy Ex-girlfriend is definetely autistic outshined by her BPD too. Yeah, I overshhared again. Well, whatever.
I related so much to jess but also Nick! Imo nick is possibly ADHD and the fact that I’m autistic and also ADHD makes so much sense. And I need a shmidt in my life as soon as possible 🤣
When I first watched New Girl I loved it. But then I rewatched it and only really liked the first few seasons. I feel that, to say they are all meant to be older, getting married etc., the later seasons feel really silly and like everyone becomes a caricature of their characters. For example, the crystal meth episode. I watch that episode and think “Why is everyone acting so silly?” They just need to be honest and actually take two seconds to think. I drive my partner mad with things like this because I do take things a little too seriously and he’ll always say “If they didn’t do this, they wouldn’t have an episode.” 😂
I hated how a lot of TH-cam video essays and online discourse have boxed Jess (and most of Zooey Deschanel’s characters) into the “manic pixie dream girl” and “I’m not like other girls” stereotypes. She’s a fully fleshed out and developed character who exists for more than fulfilling a male fantasy and she’s relatable to a lot of neurodivergent people!
so real! omg
Also tho like, frankly, I feel like some “manic pixie dream girls” are like exaggerated autistic girls…bc before I knew - I related to the manic pixie dream girl, even tho they are supposed to be not “real” characters. 😂
As an autistic person, this show has always been one of my favourite comfort shows
“I don’t know what Schmidt has, but I feel like he’s a Virgo” made me cackle 😅 loved this video
HAHAHAH omg
As an AuDHD virgo... im like 😅
My ex is a virgo and he is exactly like this so i can see it
It’s cool because Jess’s sister in real life is the show “Bones” is autistic coded.
Love bones and the books!
it's my other comfort show, too.
I need to watch this!! I had no idea.
Jess getting riled up to get her stuff back after punching the pillow is so me when I get an instantaneous uplift of motivation and if I don’t go for it straight away it’ll fizzle out and I’ll overthink it
It’s so frustrating that nobody got out the car to help her at first.
I was frustrated with that, too, but I think the point of that was to let her do everything herself to find her power.
Schmidt is actually canonly diagnosed with OCD and Anxiety. OCD is name dropped multiple times, he is on medication for anxiety, and at a point he has a conversation with his father where he (his father) explains that he has OCD and that it runs in the family, Schmidt responds by acknowledging that he also has a lot of OCD traits.

I personally have Nick as ADHD, Jess as Autistic, and Winston as AuDHD in my headcanon.
On a separate note, I think Winston would be a Leo rising, but a Cancer moon or sun for sure, at the least Cancer Venus, I recognize too much of myself in that man for him to not have some strong water placements.
Wait ... im normally so good at clocking autism coded characters but Jess is SO similar to me that it never even crossed my mind. Wow
Oh my god same. I was thinking she is the most similar character to me among all the series that i've seen, so it never crossed my mind too.
You pointed out several things Jess missed that I also missed until you explained it! 😂
omg i loved new girl...and i didn't understand why they gave her the ball, i thought they invited her to play, till you explained it!!!
It’s okay I missed it too the first 19 times I watched it
Haha me too
This show has been a top 3 for me and is likely #1 since I can rewatch it at any time and fall in love with it all over again. As a middle school teacher, my proudest moments in life were the 2 occassions a student told me I reminded them of Jess from New Girl 😂 I gave both students a free homework pass and felt like a goddess for the week.
that honestly is the best compliment you could ever receive!
Please do more of these!!
I’ve always seen Jess as autistic and i think that’s why i always felt really connected to her!!
Also, i found new girls only in like 2019 i think but i think i’ve rewatched it at least 7-8 times now!
Rewatching as I got older, it definitely made sense why I loved this show.
I just got diagnosed with ADHD in my 20s, and I just rewatched New Girl. I strongly believe that Nick has ADHD! I related to him so much. People don’t talk about this enough!
I've always related to Nick especially his issues with completing stuff and all his anxiety and rejection and abandonment issues
The music thing is so real. I make so many playlists because of this because I have to have the right music on to help me in whatever situation I'm in. My go to when I need to shut my brain down is orchestra waltz songs because it soothes both my adhd and autism in a way that lets me turn my brain off. Think stuff like vivaldi's winter and stuff like that.
I literally started watching New Girl for the first time a couple of weeks ago and am halfway through season one. I think it's just brilliant 😂
i’ve loved this show since i was in 7th grade im 21 now😭i always identified with jess so much please make more new girl vids!!!
Don't know if you know this anime but could you do this with Haikyuu?? I've always thought the main character (Hinata) to be ADHD and his rival (Kageyama, my favorite) to be autistic. That's one of the many things that make their relationship interesting to me

Girl, can I just sit down with you and watch new girl? Such a vibe !
I love your explanations; wish I had a narrator to help me figure out why certain stories appeal so much!
This was really lovely to watch the show with this lens
26:31 I've never heard someone else verbalize this before, I feel this so much as an autistic person. I've always felt guilty because I feel like it's not nice to expect other people to do things for other people the way that I do.

new girl is also one of my comfort shows 💜
I felt so sad when it ended, i followed it since it aired on tv... Now I wanna rewatch again !!!
New Girl is my #1 comfort show, coincidentally followed closely by Bones. I'm taking a little break from it but I usually watch all seasons at least once per year. Oh, and I started watching it pretty close to when it first aired so I have watched it many times through.
I think my comfort shows are all pretty good on the neurodivergent rep. Like, Bones, New Girl, Schitt's Creek, Abbott Elementary...
I agree, the cast of New Girl was very talented and charming.
i never watch it but now i think i want to watch it
I watched New Girl in 2015 when in college, going to stay my ratch now that I've finished your video!
I'm autistic and I've rewatched New Girl countless times
I loveeeeeee new girl😭 i discovered it in middle school (im 23 now) and ive rewatched it probably 5 or 7 times. Not that many but im just afraid ill exhaust it if i rewatch it too much but you gave it more life for me 😭😭💗
I've been called rude ditsy obtuse weird all kinds of words and I'm left clueless bc I don't understand why the person is mad or verbally insulting me. Bc I don't get passive social cues and silent rules. I've definitely tried to be nice and kind (like Jess example with breakfast for Winston) but to find out I'm told I'm rude. It's confusing and exhausting.
Ohh please do more videos about new girl, I absolutely love this series and I love Jess and all the main characters
Love that you’re doing these videos. New Girl is one of my comfort shows too and have watch it probably 30+ times all the way through. It’s part of my dna at this point.

This video was like a warm bowl of soup, thank you ❤
Love it, great show. Makes me want to watch again (with an autistic lens lol)!
I can't believe that I see this TV show in such a different way after so many years...
I loved this! I would welcome all the New Girl coverage you want to make. I am ADHD, but new to the idea that I might also be autistic. and I learned a lot from what you shared here. Thank you! 💜

I'm rewatching New girl right now, but it's only my second time watching it.
rewatched like 6 times atp i see so much autistic joy in jess its so healing ✨
I always rewatch New Girl when I miss my home besties. My partner and I are very much Schmidt and Cece and our friends are very Nick and Jess, so this just reminds me of our friend group a lot.
Now I know why I LOVED that show so much!!!
You made me go “that’s why they did that??” multiple times in this video. Thank you. And also, glad it wasn’t just me who missed it.
loved this, and love new girl!!
New Girl is the funniest show! 😂 I’m with you there
I love this show! One of my favorite endings for a show ever ❤️
Yep, would love more of this, it’s good.
I love new girl - now I got to rewatch it and the Mindy project too!
Now I want to rewatch these properly.
I love this video it’s really helpful to me about understanding myself too 🤍
As an audhd I love new girl! I’ve rewatched at least 6 times and every time I get something new out of it. Hoping to get a new girl reunion one day🖤
I think I saw part of an episode once. This was years ago and idk when or how or why, much less why I only saw that little bit. Now that you've reintroduced me I definitely Need to go watch more though.
I love new girl and young the giant so much!! She just like me fr 😊
AND A PISCES!!
LOVE New Girl and found your explanations about why certain things match autism so insightful and helpful. Would love to see more like this! 😃❤
i've been watching you over a year i think and saw this video when it came out. i came back to say i started watching new girl and have absolutely fallen in love!! thank you for sharing your perspective on it. i relate so much to nick and jess (and they both feel very audhd coded haha)
this is exactly the type of content I’ve been wanting to
Weird timing - I started a rewatch last week. I haven't rewatched since it was on. I'm really interested in this discussion! Great video
It's such a good show
Ive watched it a few times and I love it every time
i love love love this show and rewatch it at least annually, huge comfort show for sure!!
Wow, I didn't even catch what she was missing. I just thought she was cute & funny. I'm definitely going to be watching this with new eyes.
Please do more of these! Love your insights into the characters. Used to watch this exclusively for years 😍😍
It's interesting. I tried watching this when I was younger but didn't fully get into it, I think because I wasn't at that stage of life yet (like wat you were talking about for later seasons). It's happened to me with other shows where I'd try watching them in high school but really get into them now (19 turning 20). So, I'll try watching this again. I genuinely laughed this whole video.
Once my husband (who has adhd) accidentally knocked over a table of a bunch of jars of plant cuttings I’d just made and was really excited about and it broke some of the jars and made a huge mess and I burst into tears.
I super relate to Nick! I think he’s audhd ! 🤔🤣 and the gifted kid lol
I've rewatched it at least 3 times.
I actually never thought of Jess as autistic.. enjoyed this! Hope you are healing well Irene 💛
Pleeeeease omg I loved this so much. Heart healing 🩷🩷🩷
Did you do your makeup differently? I just noticed your eyes are really beautiful.
Thanks for introducing me to a new show
I couldn't rewatch this show because in Spain the channel only emitted the firs season once.
I thought it was the 2012 Tumblr-esque nerd in me. This makes so much more sense. Jess, yes! My favourite autistic headcanon is and always will be Will Graham, but, oh boy! Nick and Jess vibe that well for a reason. I also feel like there's something going on with Britta from Community too. The whole gang feels on all kind of spectrums somehow. Annie is ADHD/ADD, Abed (sometimes maybe Jeff too) is canonically autistic. Troy, I dunno, maybe also ADHD? Dean Pelton is beyond words, please. Chang has different issues and oh boy, there are so many.... Well maybe the loser sjw in me relates to Britta only, who knows? Also I think Rebecca from Crazy Ex-girlfriend is definetely autistic outshined by her BPD too. Yeah, I overshhared again. Well, whatever.
Yea i also think community had nd characters! And for crazy ex girlfriend too, also the actress and screenwriter is ADHD and has OCD hersefl!
Only watched it about 4 times now but I'm thinking I need to re-watch again sooner.
Also as an autistic virgo. Yes to Schmidt
Yes! More new girl videos. I love that show
Jess bounces back because she has parents that love her… 🥲 ow my heart
I loved this show! I need to rewatch it 😂
My love langauge is acts of service. Makes sense now
I related so much to jess but also Nick! Imo nick is possibly ADHD and the fact that I’m autistic and also ADHD makes so much sense. And I need a shmidt in my life as soon as possible 🤣
My fav 🖤🖤 I’ve watched it so many times I knew shoshana was 06 lol
As a Virgo I accept Schmitt
I probably have to watch now
I would love another video on new girl!
When I first watched New Girl I loved it. But then I rewatched it and only really liked the first few seasons. I feel that, to say they are all meant to be older, getting married etc., the later seasons feel really silly and like everyone becomes a caricature of their characters. For example, the crystal meth episode. I watch that episode and think “Why is everyone acting so silly?” They just need to be honest and actually take two seconds to think. I drive my partner mad with things like this because I do take things a little too seriously and he’ll always say “If they didn’t do this, they wouldn’t have an episode.” 😂
Love! Love! Love this show. I started rewatching it a few months ago as well.
New girl is my favorite
