Love on the Spectrum U.S.

I can't say enough good things about this series as well as the original show from Australia dealing with adults on the spectrum looking for love. The filmmakers treat all participants with respect and caring and we the audience become fully invested in their happiness. This series emphasizes that no matter what difficulties/disabilities a person has, we all have the right to love and be loved. Bravo Netflix!

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.

Like the original.

It's decently portrayed without mocking or shaming anybody. And it's raising awareness for autism.

It's so unbelievable sweet and heart-warming, it really soften your heart. And it's a reminder that you will never know the whole story of someone's behaviour.

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.

Really, really wholesome and heartwarming. Loved the aus version, and the us version is just as good! It's been a while since I've seen some good non-toxic reality tv.
