ReadySteadyCut: The Healing Powers of Dude review – a clear step forward for disability representation
meaww - 'The Healing Powers of Dude' is a miss as viewers find Netflix show superficial and unrealistically feel-good
Decider.com - Stream It Or Skip It: "The Healing Powers of Dude is Netflix’s new family-friendly comedy series, but it hopes to do more than just make us laugh. Sure, as sitcoms do, it assembles a variety of awkward-cute young actors and tosses a moppet-dog into the mix for maximum appeal. But its protagonist is a boy with social anxiety disorder who needs the eccentric pup to navigate the challenges of attending middle school. The series may be among the first of its kind, depicting the travails of a young person with such a clearly defined mental illness; but it remains to be seen whether the premise is a thoughtful depiction or just a facade for yet another joke factory."

My little kid binged most of this. One of her siblings has social anxiety and she stopped it at various points to comment on what she was understanding from the scenes related to her brother.
Absolutely agree on Kim's Amara, she is a scene stealer. They cast looking for a girl in a wheelchair and apparently she helped rework some lines as well based on her own experiences.
