I know monk isn't the best rep and he's a bit stereotypical and silly and played for laughs but he's also a detective so he gets a pass from me

#also every time i watch monk i just nod in solidarity like yeah he gets it #i knkw hes supposed to be like. someone looked at the OCD criteria and just wrote it into the script with no consulting #but hes so autistic coded. to me. #and not even like savant rain man whatever like he just notices things anyone can notice things #thats like a detecfives job soevifically #he noticed things and he KNOWS things but also i find it so funny #that he knows all these little details (same) about random things. but. but. he cant comprehend PLANES #thats the most autistic thing ever #not being able to understand something and how it works but also not really #leanribg about it either #shits magick #i absolutely relate to the cobtamination intrusive thoughts #but i feel like to outsiders with no experiance in ocd or intrusuve thoughts #with the way the show plays it you dont get WHY he does those things unless you have experiance #and its played for laighs/quirks
