True, but the portrayal still wasn't well received. Aside from the reset button, another scene that got a lot of backlash was Mike hitting his head with the boulder, as it was compared to encouraging kids to self-administer treatment and to inflict injury on themselves.

That's just an example. Another show, a cartoon one, is Arthur where they constantly show kids with disorders like dyslexia or autism, but they try to make it as real as possible. Which is one of the reasons that show has achieved so much success and is still going after a decade.

Yeah, I hate leaving characters on sour notes, no matter who it is.
