I think you missed the point of the show. But I do think they should have said she was autistic in the show so that the audience would understand more.
Wilbur is high masking autism. He repeats Cinderella phrases. So he's autistic and he sees it in her too. That's why he picks her and why he wants to keep her safe. And the polor bear doesn't fit in just like her and her theatre friend in high school. The polar bear is hard to label...just like her.
@venicecarly hi. Yeah I would've appreciated it if it was more spelled out for me. And yeah that conflict would make a lot of sense. I think I moreso interpreted the show differently and didn't catch all their intended easter eggs.
@venicecarly hi. Yeah I got that meaning to it, I just felt that it'd be more believable that this person was hyper focused on knowledge if they were accurate about a shark not being a marine mammal.

So first off you look so much like the protagonist. It’s awesome. You’re so beautiful. 😊
Aw thanks so much lovely, I hadn't thought of that.
4:37 into this show, I realized I could not sit through all ten episodes...
You look like a celebrity
Isnt the main conflict is that harriet is Autistic/ADHD and she doesn't know it. And her dad has ADHD and doesn't know it either.

yes but the problem is that the author who based it off her life didnt know she was autistic either
