S1E1: running time 4:30-5:00: Birds are hit by a car as others described. Extremely unexpected, quick and out of nowhere.

The scorpion’s cute little face looks sad just before the bullys run it over. Very sad.

While the scorpion scene may not sound as triggering based on the previous two replies, here's more details.
Last chance for spoiler ⚠️
======================
Wednesday is telling a story where she is 6 years old and has a pet scorpion. Some boys hold her back while others intentionally run the scorpion over with their bikes. You don't see the scorpion die, but hear the squishing sound. This greatly distresses young Wednesday and you see her cry and mourn the scorpion at a grave.

S1e2 about 16 mins in. A character brings a drawing of a spider to life with their powers. Shots of the spider crawling around, safe to look after there is a bang after ‘admit it, you’re a little impressed’ (the bang is the spider drawing being destroyed)

Not technically snakes, the kid is like Medusa with the hair that looks like snakes and turns people to stone. You only see his full head once, and then a peek of it another time.

Blood and gore? Yes, but I wouldn’t say it’s excessive. Maybe this is just my line, but most of what we see is the aftermath. Splashed blood and some body parts, but it’s not dwelled upon, and we don’t really see any dismemberment happen on screen.

A dead man is shown sitting in a car with his neck broken. It’s very graphic and it scared me even though things like this usually wouldn’t. 39:45 - 40:00 after Wednesday says “he broke his neck” the camera will show the outside of the car and then the man sitting inside but skip to 40:00 and you’ll be good

Wednesday’s visions look/feel very similar to seizures, in that her body spasms and goes rigid.
A character is poisoned in the penultimate episode and it looks a little like a seizure, with foaming.

A jock is bitten by piranhas in a swimming pool in the first episode.
Also, while not true, it’s gossiped that Wednesday ate a kid at her old school, and she responds by saying she actually feeds them to her pets.

Wednesday herself has a lot of traits that are relatable to me as an autistic person (doesn’t express/read emotions in a typical way, doesn’t like to be touched, extreme bluntness, special interests, aversions to specific stimuli, enhanced sensory abilities, strict adherence to routines, etc.) and she is occasionally bullied and frequently pestered because of these traits. She is sometimes asked (or even forced) by authority figures to act differently or do things that make her uncomfortable (in a way that might be upsetting/triggering for folks with behaviorism/ABA in their past).

Wednesday is very much autistic-coded in this series. However, this question with the current phrasing (“is autism misrepresented?”) is always going to be tough to answer because most shows with obvious autistic-coded characters like Wednesday don’t choose to actually label the character as autistic.

This may be considered claustrophobic. In episode 4 around the 4 minute mark, Wednesday is in one of the chamber doors they put dead bodies in in a morgue. They don’t really show it from the inside or from her point of view at all, but they show the door being closed on her in there twice.

The only main Black people are villain/bully coded, ASPD is represented as a bad thing and “something serial killers have”, indigenous people are disregarded when talking about who owns the land in the plot, the g slur against Romani people is used, a homeless drug addict/mentally I’ll person is a hostile thief who is killed off, dreamctahxers are sold in an oddities shop, there is a “joke” that sugar causes diabetes, mental illness/disability/racially charged words are used as insults (eg “the coffee maker is having a seizure”), demonisation of Neurodivergent traits in Wednesday, a non native family appropriate native medicine, spelling/grammar mistakes are ridiculed, “Salem” witch trials,

This list contains slight spoilers, but i would recommend reading anyway.
any quotes i use are taken directly from the subtitles:
- ASPD abuse and equating murderers with 'psychopathy'
ep 1 "oh, you must be the psychopath they let in"
ep 2 "my new desk, you psychopath!"
ep 3 use of the term "ps*cho"
ep 6 "They scrub up well for psychopaths."
ep 8 use of the term "ps*cho"
- Links psychosis with murder and violence
(ep?)"my foe was no psychotic killer."
ep 6 "of course the first boy I kiss would turn out to be a psychotic, serial-killing monster"
ep 8 "so you come from a line of psychotic killers too."
- using disability and neurodiversity terms outside of those contexts.
ep 1 "the espresso machine's having a seizure"
ep 3 "i literally think i have PTSD."
ep 5 "i've never seen someone so blinded by rage."

In general, most of the even slightly “overweight” characters are shown overeating or zealously eating non-food items at various points, and it’s meant to be amusing.
Kinda adjacent, Wednesday calls fudge “diabetes in a box.”
