Yeah I thought that. Don’t really know too much about autism so was unsure about her portrayal. What jarred for me was the way others around her behaved. In series 1 anyway. The other plod - surely they know Astrid is autistic and alter their behaviour accordingly. Worst bit though was when she gives Raphaelle the thimble at her birthday party and people start taking the piss. That just wouldn’t happen - surely Raphaelle would let her guests know Astrid was different. More care needed to be taken in the writing.
