Which ‘Atypical’ Character Are You?
So, you’re about to take the “Atypical: Which Character Are You?” quiz. Yeah, the one where you might end up being Sam—the penguin-obsessed brainiac, or Casey—the “don’t mess with my family” type, or… someone else entirely. Don’t overthink it, just dive in and see which Gardner vibe is secretly yours. Spoiler: it might surprise you.
About “Atypical” in a few words:
Atypical is basically a rollercoaster of awkward, sweet, and kinda chaotic life stuff. Sam’s this teenage dude on the autism spectrum, trying to figure out girls, independence, and basically… life itself. Meanwhile, his family is spinning in their own weird orbits, juggling love, school, and drama. It’s funny, it’s messy, sometimes you cry a bit—but mostly you just get how life throws everyone curveballs.
Meet the characters from Atypical
Sam Gardner
Oh man, Sam Gardner is like the heart of ‘Atypical’! He’s super smart and quirky, and his love for penguins is just the cutest thing ever. Like, how can you not root for a guy who’s navigating the world with such honesty and sincerity? He struggles with social cues and relationships, but it’s his determination and unique perspective that make him so relatable and inspiring. And let’s not forget his epic meltdowns — those moments are both hilarious and heartbreaking, you know?
Elsa Gardner
Elsa is basically the ultimate mom figure but with a twist! She’s fiercely protective of Sam, but she has her own complicated layers, like, wow. Sometimes she seems like she has it all together, and then BOOM, she’s dealing with her own issues and insecurities. I love how she tries to balance being a good mom while also searching for her own identity — it’s like she’s on a rollercoaster ride of emotions! And can we talk about her relationship with Doug? It’s so messy yet so real!
Casey Gardner
Casey is a total powerhouse! She’s tough, driven, and not afraid to go after what she wants (like, seriously, she’s a track star!). Watching her navigate her own struggles while also trying to support Sam is just so relatable. What’s cool about her is that she’s got this soft side too; she cares so much for her family, even when she’s acting all tough. Oh, and that rivalry romance thing with Izzie? Like, OMG, their chemistry is electric!
Doug Gardner
Doug is such an interesting character; he’s like the quiet storm of the family! He seems a bit lost at times, like he’s trying to figure out how to be the best dad while facing his own challenges. His relationship with Elsa is so complicated, and I love how he tries to support Sam, even if he sometimes misses the mark. He’s got this subtle humor that catches you off guard, and when he finally opens up, you realize he’s got depth. Seriously, he’s like that dad who’s trying really hard but also just a little bit out of his depth, and it’s endearing!
Zahid Raja
Zahid is like the best friend everyone wishes they had! He’s super chill, funny, and always there for Sam, which is just awesome. I love how he embraces his own quirks and doesn’t care what others think, like, he’s got this whole “be yourself” vibe down pat! But he also has moments where you see he cares deeply about his friends — like, he’s more than just the comic relief. And his style? Totally on point and just adds to his whole personality! Can we get more Zahid, please?
