Amy Farrah Fowler - The Big Bang Theory
Fans Think Sheldon Cooper Is Autistic — Truth About 'The Big Bang Theory' Character
Quote:
Neuroscientist and ‘The Big Bang Theory’ actor Mayim Bialik gave her own opinion.
Mayim has a Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA, but she also played Amy Farrah Fowler, Sheldon’s girlfriend, on the show.
Mayim has also addressed the idea that her own character could potentially be autistic. “Amy is socially awkward, a bit sexually repressed, and anxious. I think she would fall on the autistic spectrum,” she wrote for her own publication, GrokNation.

“My autism is not a superpower. It also isn’t some kind of god-forsaken, endless fountain of suffering inflicted on my family. It’s just part of who I am as a person”. - Sara Luterman
