TNG is definitely a product of it's time (late 80s to early 90s). In the late 80s, "Autistic" mostly meant severe (and likely non-verbal), and ADHD was still ADD, and was only for the most hyperactive types. Non-attentive ADHD didn't really exist. "Aspergers" had only recently been a thing, and was very rare.

TNG is still a fantastic show, that challenges a lot of society (as it was meant to do), but in the modern day, it can leave a bit to be desired at times. Take in in the spirit of it's day.

The Republican party pledged to fight the “twin relics of barbarism”: slavery and polygamy

Ironic that Mormons now overwhelmingly vote Republican

For reference, SSA has roughly twice as many lines of code written in COBOL as the Linux kernel has lines of code written in C.
