According to the extended Netflix trailer, he still managed to get a girl. Even with this, the film is just "meh" because there are so many other stories you could tell about spergs, including real stories. Besides Grandin, therw's the following people they could talk about:
•John Elder Robinson
Found solace from his mentally ill parents in electronics for music, worked his way through various corporate jobs,including designing toys, ended up running his own business as a car mechanic, got married and had a son, all the while unaware of his Aspergers until 40.
•Jennifer Clarke O'Toole
Joined MENSA at age 7, attended a prestigious college, worked as a police officer and English teacher, and managed to have 4 kids and a husband
These people are better subjects than Atypical's subject because they show spergs actuslly getting shit done and living productive adult lives.
Anyways, Sam, the series' main character, should worry about getting an actual job as an adult more than getting a girlfriend.
In the trailer, he works as a part-time associate for the local electronics company. _ That_ might not last long because of his 'tism.
If the boss gets notified of his disability, they might more incentive to keep him since 85% of spergs are unemployed. However, the sheer percentage of unemployed autists indicates that their lack of social skills is their major stumbling block.
I would be pleasantly surprised if Atypical actually considered jobs for spergs.
