Atypical

Occasional mild violence, as when Casey punches a girl who wrote "orca" on the locker of a girl with a larger body type.

Series is built around a teen interested in sex and dating, so expect many references to sex, as well as jokes about "titties," "bone town," and girls with "bubble butts." A high school boy calls a girl "mamacita" and says her "ass" is "calling" him. Sam watches a video on attracting girls by "negging" them, which claims this is the fastest way to "get a chick on your d--k." Expect kissing and on-screen sex with no nudity, as when a girl masturbates Sam (we see them together kissing, but the camera cuts away before we see the sex act or any body parts). A character becomes involved with a same-sex friend; we see them kissing and discussing their romantic life and the possiblity of having sex. Meanwhile, other characters have extramarital affairs (we see kissing but the camera cuts away before we see sex), and have romances that grow more intense and sexual over time.

Cursing and strong language: "s--t," "ass," "damn," "d--k," "twat" (said repeatedly in one scene), "a--hole," "hell," "titties." At one point, Elsa flips a double bird to a woman who has annoyed her.

Zahid smokes pot, adults drink wine at dinner, Elsa goes to a bar and flirts with a bartender over cocktails.

Parents need to know that Atypical is a comedy about a teen with autism (Sam) who decides it's time to find a girlfriend. Expect sexual content, including kissing and actual sex, like when a girl masturbates Sam in his backyard (no nudity, and we don't see the sexual act). In other scenes, characters are shown in their underwear, and high school boys catcall girls and comment on their looks and body parts. In later seasons, one character accepts that she has same-sex attractions while Sam is able to find a girl he can relate to; expect same- and opposite-sex kissing and dating. One character, Sam's friend/colleague Zahid, who's a hornball in the classic horny-friend mode, makes lots of jokes about "titties," "bubble butts," going to the "bone zone," and so on. Strong language includes sex/body words such as "d--k" and "twat," as well as "s--t," "ass," "damn," "a--hole," and "hell." Zahid smokes pot outside of work, seemingly unafraid his colleagues/bosses will see; Sam's mom, Elsa, strikes up a flirtation with a bartender over cocktails at a bar. Occasional mild violence includes a scene in which Sam's sister, Casey, punches a girl who insulted a classmate with a larger body type. Sam is frequently described as "weird," sometimes affectionately, sometimes not. His family and friends support and accept him, but others don't always -- in an early scene, a girl who Sam punched for touching him asks if he's "retarded" or if there's something wrong with his brain. But in general, Sam's classmates, family members, friends, and others accept him as he is, while Sam works tirelessly to get what he wants, even if he doesn't fit in comfortably with mainstream society.
