As a nerd and a neuro diverse person i feel that the big bang theory was the first sitcom that didnt make fun of highly-functional neuro diversity but laughted with the nerddom instead of at it. And Jim Parsons was a big part of that.

"If you ask people the main 3 or 4 things that really shaped who they are...being happy with who they are, they're almost all tragedies". Many authors explored this theme, and this is a great way to summarise the concept. Tough reality, but that's life. Going through tragedies and hurdles means going also out of the comfort zone that ultimately leads to improvement and new discoveries.

Jim Parsons had the most awesome facial displays when on the TBBT.... His sense of timing and facials were so on point.... He was pure comedic gold with the awesome cast members... For someone who was cast as socially awkward he sure made that role his own Im watching re runs to view all the episodes i missed....
