Imagine we switched out the behavior. Instead of Sheldon behaving like autistic people do, we could give him the issues people with Tourette's face. Of course he doesn't have Tourette's, but he shows the same involuntary tics, and him behaving like that is the butt of the joke. Would the show be at fault?

    Again, you're still the one stereotyping him as autistic, nowhere in the show does it actually say he is

    I literally gave an argument for why this isn't the be-all-end-all. Would you like to try engaging with that instead of just repeating a response that doesn't actually try to understand the issue?
