Well, not truly, but an autistic boy's mother dies in a car accident, then his father goes to prison and is on death row. His aunt takes him in but talks about giving him up to the state because it's so overwhelming to be a single mother to her 2 boys as well as her autistic nephew.

No, but an adult (Dana) mentions that she's been afraid of storms ever since her dad left her home alone during one when she was five. So, she was neglected at the least as a child.

If fishing counts, then yes. They go fishing and J.J. catches a fish with his fishing pole. There is no intentional animal abuse and the fish is not shown dying on-screen.

While walking to see the ranger, a snake slithers along the ground right in front of J.J.'s feet. The ranger than walks up and says that's his little escape artist. He picks it up and lets J.J. touch it, explaining how you can tell from the colors that it's not poisonous.

No but a woman almost rapes Johnny while he's tied to a chair. She wants to get pregnant with his baby and doesn't understand (in my opinion) that what she's doing would be rape. Johnny is telling her that he likes her and would like to spend time with her away from here, but of course he's just trying to get her to untie him. He is trying to reason with her telling her "no, not like this" when she's about to go ahead with it and she only stops when she notices that a friend of hers is watching.

There is a missing girl who is suspected of being kidnapped. Her parents recently split up and her mom doesn't know where her kid or her kid's father is but says that he wouldn't kidnap her. He didn't, but the kid did sneak off to try to be with her dad. It takes most of the episode to discover that she wasn't kidnapped.

The "bad guy" in the episode (a murderer) is someone who was portraying themselves as female but had male parts (that they'd been born with). I'm unclear if the person was actually transgender or if it was part of a disguise or what.

Um... Kinda? Someone is portraying themselves as a gay woman but it turns out that the person was born a male. I think that it's more of a disguise than that the person is transgender and hiding it from their girlfriend, but the person is so very confused (from severe mental illness) that I'm not totally sure what's true.

A young man decides to kill himself by driving a car off a cliff. He drives quickly towards the cliff, but jumps out in time to live. He only ends up with minor injuries like scrapes. The car itself goes over the edge, but it's empty.

We see a flashback of the father of an autistic child angrily yelling at his wife that the other guys can play catch with their sons but he can't. The father rant some more about his son, finally calling him a zombie, at which point his wife slaps him. I believe that their son witnessed the argument without the parents realizing it.

Maybe? Someone in the episode has D.I.D. I don't know enough about it to know if it's misrepresented. The person is violent, which is probably not helpful as far as representation.
