I have three different series on disability media analysis that can be found on my channel that cover the creation and portrayal of disabled characters, mini twice-weekly reviews of various disabled/autistic/amnesic representation, and dramaturgical deep dives into disabled characters in the theatrical canon.
For general autism/disability resources or accessible education resources, head to their respective pages.

Creating Representation
My guide to the pitfalls and pro tips of minority media representation
It’s mostly in the disabled category, but many of these things transfer to other minority, particularly queer, rep as well!

Media Reviews by Category
New reviews come out every Monday/Friday
Autism
Covering everything explicitly mentioned, in canon, and just generally theorized by the audience to see auties with more empathy
Disability
Looking at all those times you totally forgot there was a disabled character and how that impacts how you see disabled people
Memory Loss
Turns out amnesic media rep is pretty much just really cool action movies and the occasional old man but I’m enjoying it
Disability Dramaturgy
This series aims to recontextualize and understand disability (both physical disability and madness) in the theater canon to show that we have always been a part of theatrical stories, we always will be, and suggest ways to ethically and consciously portray these characters.
Some personal favorites of the series are Wicked and Sweeney Todd
I also do dramaturgical deep dives specifically on Disney princesses and their histories which you can watch here
