(Season 1 spoiler) Season 1 shows how Beth, Cosima and Allison are being monitored by people close to them. It's not technically stalking but still a break of trust and privacy.

In Season 3 Episode 2, the episode contains a woman going on a date with one of the Project CASTOR clones. While they are having sex, a secone clone comes out from the shadows and also begins touching her. Later, she reports this to the police & sarcastically says that because she consented to the first clone, it wasn't rape.

A little girl (minor character) dies in the last season. It’s pretty sad, you see her mom weeping over her body. Not graphic, she dies of an internal illness.

The LEDA clones have a genetic degenerative disease that presents similarly to lung cancer.
Also, in S5 a minor recurring character, a little girl, has a Wilm’s tumor.

There are no canonically autistic characters in the series. However, autistic folks should be aware that eugenics is a big theme.

Helena is a clone who presents with flat affect, odd speech and later, hallucinations. She was trained to kill as a young child, so her inclination to violence either towards herself or to others are possibly a result of abuse. Her behavior is strange and markedly different to other clones - *spoiler* she is initially a villainous presence - but it is far from a dehumanizing portrayal of a person with psychosis.

S1 E1 in the opening scene there is a bit of shaky cam as it follows Sarah for a few moments.
Also in some scenes with Helena the camera goes in and out of focus to show her mental state.
S3E4: There's a bit of shakey cam as Helena walks around in the camp

During a particular scene in Season 4 a women being experimented on gives birth to a still born. The scene is semi graphic and triggering for anyone who may have miscarried or lost a child.

Childbirth is a central plot point in the last two episodes of the series in S5. Especially in the series finale. A main character gives birth to twins under very stressful circumstances.

*SPOLIER* In S3, a girl is impregnated with embryos that come from her father's sperm (and another woman's ovary). So not really a relationship but technically she's still pregnant with her father's baby.
