Not Dead Yet is cute - totally carried by Rodriguez and Simone, but it is cute. I am shocked I like it as much as I do, especially after that autism joke in the first episode.

I am hoping we get a recurring ghost at some point.

Are autistic people not allowed to joke about/make light of their autism now?

It was akin to Michael J Fox shaking Larry's soda on Curb.

If it was him, sure - but it was Gina Rodriguez making it.

I guess I don't remember the joke then. I only remember the bit where he was kinda fucking with her so I thought you were just another "well meaning" person infantilizing us.

She said "What are you, autistic or something?"

Don't worry, not infantilizing - i'm autistic too.

That... wasn't the joke. I mean, it was part of it, I suppose, but it wasn't the punchline. It was the setup to his line. Him saying yes is the punchline, which puts her in her place for saying the offensive thing.
