Betty White: TV’s Patron Saint of Autism….?

Before The Big Bang Theory, before Atypical, before freaking Rainman…

There was Betty White…

Like Forest Gump, nobody labeled her autistic, but PLEASE…

Did anyone ever try harder to be prim, proper, AND liked…?

Was anyone ever so socially inappropriate…?

Did anyone ever deliver such devastating truth, in so few words, when you least expect it…?

Did anyone ever have less of a clue in social situations…?

Was anyone ever so undyingly…

The movie John Nash of A Beautiful Mind may be everyone’s secret favorite undiscovered smart autistic (even if the movie has little to do with the real Nash)…

But Betty White’s TV character(s) has got to be my heart’s first love….
