Atypical is working to make autism awareness mainstream, and for Brigette, season three has allowed the show to make queer culture more mainstream as well — while also avoiding clichés and the pitfalls of stereotyping. "It's really so, so, so important for me that queer culture be accepted mainstream and that queer stories be told with more vigour and less fetishizing," she stressed to Who What Wear. "I think we are close, but sometimes it takes just being yourself. I know there are so many people right now who are just really paving the way and becoming mainstream."
