It's extremely heartwarming to see how people can be so caring towards others.
I come away from watching this show thinking hoping the best for those involved as they truly deserve the best things it life.
Great little watch.

No lies, nobody being fake to impress, just complete honesty. It was so refreshing to watch a dating show where there was no one making drama for the sake of drama. I was only disappointed at one point and that was when it was over. I wanted more.
Growing up with a mom who devoted her life to working with children on the spectrum I may be a bit biased, but this show is just incredible! To see these beautiful people searching for love is astounding. My mom always worked with very young kids who I rarely got to see grow up, sadly. This show is so pure and perfectly produced. Letting these amazing people find themselves and hope for love and a partner is just so heartwarming. I love this way this show gives us an inside to autism and people in the spectrum that we normally don't get to see. It's amazing how much you can identify with these people as a neurotypical. They want and fear the same things as everyone else, especially in dating. It's beautiful to see these people come out of their shells and face their fears. It actually gives me more confidence in my own life to see this show. I hope it never ends and we see more like this.
I myself have been ignorant as a child and adult to the diffilcuties people in life that I dont share myself. This show really opens your eyes to the beauty we share as human beings wanting love and connection regardless of phsyical or mental differences we have as people. We all crave to be loved, embraced, cared for and wanted, this show really opened my eyes to understand that we all need to be more patient with one another as humans because we all have different backgrounds, experiences and cognitive abilities.
This show has made me tear up more times then I will admit, lol, but its because of how beauitful it is to see people overcome challenges and love life so unconditonally. The people on this show and their families inspire me to have my own family one day and give them at least 1/10 of the love these parents show for their kids. If you have a heart you will love this show and smile and cry because its amazing to see the power of adversity and compassion can play in our world if we just try to understand each other more.

With so many great minds and inventors being neurodivergent, including Albert Einstein himself, it seems strange that neurodiversity, also known as the autism spectrum, remains largely misunderstood by the majority who are neurotypical. Many neurodivergent people go through life without being fully aware of their neurodiversity and some never reach diagnosis in their lifetime because autism was not well-understood and widely diagnosed in children until the 1990s.
Love on the Spectrum brings much needed awareness to the difficulties faced by neurodivergent people in a neurotypical world and humanises them. With increasing visibility of sexual and gender diverse populations, it is time for greater understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity. Successful neurodivergent people like Jennifer Cook, who makes an appearance as the autism expert and whose book "Autism in Heels" I have read, are shining examples of what autistic people can achieve when they allowed to express their creativity and individuality in spite of the bounds of the neurotypical world.
