The cartoon that has been and continues to be on point.
We all know and love Arthur, our favorite aardvark.

But did you know that back in 2010, the kids' show introduced a character with Asperger's syndrome named Carl?
(Also, did you know the show is STILL ON?)
PBS
Carl meets George in the aptly titled episode "When George Met Carl," but, at first, George isn't sure how to treat his new friend.
That is until Alan (former Arthur fans might remember him as "The Brain") helps explain what Asperger's Syndrome is in the words of Alan's uncle — a very successful professor who also has Asperger's.
PBS
The Brain asks George to imagine he's an astronaut on an alien planet.
