Histoires d'amour et d'autisme

Love on the Spectrum is what reality TV should be--a way to share what reality is for people experiencing life in a different way. Of course, it is edited, but the creators did a great job balancing the triumphs and heartbreaks and showing us all the little steps along the paths to love that the participants are taking. Very glad to hear there will be another season--each person interviewed shows us a different world view.

Just came across this accidentally while browsing on Netflix & put it on as a background watch while online. My husband and I however, had put our phones down within minutes and were totally absorbed in the stories of lovely people with aspergers attempting to find love & their incredible families.

We laughed. We cried. We were totally invested in every story & watched the whole series that evening. It's just wonderful & a perfect antidote to the horrible world out there. Just do yourself a favour & watch it.

As a mom of 3year old on the spectrum, with my husband who's also on the spectrum, I would definitely recommend this show. I cried many times, mainly when the parents were interviewed. It's not easy to be different in a society that wants everyone to be the same or alike... But people on the spectrum are looked differently when they shouldn't. I hope all of you, in the spectrum or not, find true love and happiness. For parents, it's not easy, I know but everything is easier with love and understanding.

This 4 part documentary is unexpectedly charming. Each person has a unique story and a completely different way of navigating through dating while being on the spectrum. I laughed, cried, cringed, applauded, and screamed at the tv. It will give you all the feels! Definitely worth the watch. "Whenever a person is feeling bored or unhappy in their relationship with someone, all they need to do is stop and do one thing that everyone should do: smell the flowers. They don't bloom everyday" - Michael

I loved this show. I am on episode 3 right now, but so far I'm really enjoying it. It shows the realism of dating on the spectrum, and if you're neurotypical this gives you a whole different point of view. There were funny moments, cringey moments, and happy moments and I just love the emotion in this show. It shows what dating is, sometimes it's imperfect but it takes a while to hit a gold mine. I hope they make more shows like this, well done.
