[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This show feels so autobiographical even though it isn't billed as directly based on Lena Dunham's life. There's something about her writing that you just know she's working out her own issues. She plays the main character's sister but one of the supporting actresses from Hacks is the lead.

Sent me down a rabbit hole on Dunham's relationship with Jack Antonoff (now married to Andie MacDowell's daughter actress Margaret Qualley) and her current relationship with UK musician Luis Felber. Apparently, everything from the throwing out pillows to dog adoption and re-homing are all things from her life. [/quote]

I just watched episode 5 last night. If this show is autobiographical, I have a huge disdain for Jack Antonoff (of course this is from Lena Dunham’s perspective, but we’ve all known self-centered guys like this). [/quote]

Jack and Lena are both neurodiverse. Have you dated a neurodiverse person? Now imagine 2 in a relationship with large personalities yet very different personalities.

Additionally, Lena has said Zev is a mixture of several boyfriends. [/quote]

Oh ffs with the “neurodiverse.” That means basically everyone in the arts I guess. [/quote]

I thought it was pretty well known that Jack is on the spectrum.[/quote]

[b]The “spectrum” starts to fail to have any meaning at all when someone literally at the top of his profession married to an Oscar nominee claims to be “on the spectrum.”

Having quirks isn’t autism. being introverted isn’t autism. Having habits isn’t autism. Needing to take time alone isn’t autism. [/quote]

You are incredibly offensive. To suggest that someone with autism isn’t capable of being as successful as Jack Antonoff is ableist and makes you sound uneducated.

As a parent of a teen with autism, it is also obvious you don’t have experience with actual high functioning autistics. No one knows if he is ASD or not - least of all you.[/quote]

But I have been around Jack, albeit briefly. He reminded me very much of my HFAUD teen.[/quote]

So Taylor. She reminds me very much of my extroverted HFASD kid. [/quote]
