I can't believe this show is cancelled. It's so gross that Amazon cancelled it - this is one of the best shows ever- and SO IMPORTANT for this representation. We need to know what happens with Maddie, Violet, Jack and Harrison.

What a touching, amazing show - I've laughed and cried through all of it and my husband and I watched all eight episodes in one evening. I hope some other network or streaming service picks it up- it will be a tragic mistake to let it go.

I don't know if these actors are autistic in real life but their portrayal of these characters is so real, so moving, and just really shows the different sides of living on the spectrum.

This show I binged all 8 episodes at once and I wish I didn't. This show is so freaking good, the acting by everyone is superb and the cinematography and stories are all top notch. I highly recommend this show, it has heart and soul and is extremely funny too!

For starters, we have 3 autistic characters who are trying to become independent. I love that all 3 of them have different personalities when usually on shows with autistic characters autism is portrayed as a personality.

Each character has very different struggles which are also realistic. Violet wants to get a boyfriend for some resemblance of "normality". Jack is dealing with his dad's illness and feeling the pressure of having to stand on his own, with no support system. Harrison struggles to get out of the house because of several hypersensitivities.

In between all of this, their families struggle with a balance between wanting them to change and accepting them as they are. Sad but also quite realistic. They struggle with starting and maintaining relationships. They struggle with getting and keeping a job. These are things most autistics can identify with.

I would have liked the show to focus more on mental health which is pretty much absent for the whole season. Mandy is not a psychologist and I find it hard to believe these characters would have families that support them but no mental health services.

I have autism and relate to the main characters. The sound anxiety, not having a filter, meltdowns just not as much as I did when I was younger, and especially trouble socializing. As We See It is one of the most accurate representations of life on the spectrum, definitely deserves praise! Ambient music is brilliant in it when it happens. I love Harrison (Albert Rutecki) he's great and Mandy (Sosie Bacon) is wonderful throughout!

As someone with autism, I appreciate there being a show about the aspects of what it's like being autistic.

While there are an insane amount of struggles, there is always a light that can be worked on and grown. This show is funny and also serious, and I think it shows many things in a realistic way.

Not all people with autism are the same, so I'm glad it shows that.
