Love on the Spectrum

sonia_barajas shared a tip "Being a mother of a 16 yr old son with autism this was a must watch for me. Just getting to see their different experiences was a great thing to follow along with."

jessica_johnson_7555 shared a tip "A touching and honest dating show, Love on the Spectrum tracks autistic young people in a way that is mostly without condescension. This gem is the one of the few wholesome dating shows out there."

book_nerd09 shared a tip "Very sweet show! It restored my faith in humanity as well as teaching me more about autism. Very wholesome! I definitely recommend!"

joshua_smith_3234 shared a tip "This is the most honest, transparent look at real people, with real disabilities expressing and exploring love. It’s really beautiful."

chelsie_johnston shared a tip "I really enjoyed this show! It was a refreshing and compassionate take on dating, showing the importance of connection and consent rather than the typical competition and superficiality of most reality dating shows. Anyone else looking forward to season 2? #reality #reality_dating #reality_tv #love_and_romance #lovestory #dating_and_relationships #dating_and_sex"

lauracgeorge shared a tip "An honest look at an often ignored or desexualized part of the population. I enjoyed watching them figure out what they wanted in a partner, and it was cool to see the varying ways autism presents (at least in these people). Hoping for a third season! 😁"

taylor_kirchoff shared a tip "Wonderful look at the journey and struggles of finding a relationship and possibly love on the spectrum. The show centers the people with ASD in the narrative and has beautiful editing. I cried several times."

despondent_hull shared a tip "There are some gloriously beautiful moments here. There are also some terribly awkward moments. Personally, I couldn't handle the awkward moments because I was helpless and my general policy is "If you can't help, walk away and leave folks with their dignity". If your schadenfreude muscle is well exercised, you'll do much better than me. The production isn't particularly mean spirited. I just thinks it reveals some less tactful bits that it would have avoided with so-called normal subjects."

lorrie_mello_2051 shared a tip "This documentary is incredibly insightful. I have worked with children with ASD and wondered what life as an adult would be like for them. Their stories are poignant, funny, and heartwarming. I want more."

angela_penny_9830 shared a tip "An amazing show following these young adults as they face special challenges while navigating the heartwarming and trecherous waters of romance. The feelings of joy and apprehension are universal and its fascinating getting to know these people."

taylor_monty shared a tip "It’s #romcom vibes! And I appreciated S1 being inclusive of diverse sexualities 🙌🏽. It’s affirming to see different types of people on the autism spectrum because it destigmatized #autism."

maren_4 shared a tip "This is the most raw and authentic “dating show” (not sure if it really counts as that) that you will ever watch. It brought me tears a few times while watching the second season."

chelsea_darnell shared a tip "Really compelling viewing, you really root for the singletons. The only criticisms are that firstly it only seems to represent autistic people at the lower end of the functionality scale, and also they never pair an autistic person with a non autistic person, which seems a little discriminatory and makes out that autistic people must only be paired with another autistic person. The show has flaws but it is still very enjoyable."

tony_venditto_6908 shared a tip "Feel good show of the summer! I don't generally like dating shows, but I was rooting for everyone in this show! Very positive portrayal of people on the Autism spectrum and their families. Not at all exploitative! Loved this series!"

laurie-jane_bui shared a tip "This reality show is so wholesome and is a great oportunity to learn more about the autism spectrum and see how people who are on it are affected by it in their personal lives! I absolutely love it and highly recommend it!"

joey_b. shared a tip "Just finished season 2 of, "Love on the Spectrum." This just continues to get better, it's sweet and funny, familiar yet new. One of the best series currently on Netflix."

roxie_l shared a tip "I felt very mixed about this show. On one hand, I was very glad to see some found love, or at least some wonderful prospects to pursue. On the other hand, the heavy focus on amatonormativity made me wonder if some of the ensemble might miss out on some truly fulfilling relationships simply because they don't match their internalized blueprint of a what a relationship is supposed to look like. I wish them all success in love, in whatever form it arrives."
