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.

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.

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.

Just as delightful as the previous version from Australia. Life affirming and lovely. I only wish I could be friends with them all! Only disappointment is that there aren't enough episodes. Please keep making this show!

I love how this show portrays austim as it truly is, a diverse spectrum. No two people on the spectrum are alike. There are a lot of stereotypes and ignorance out there and I feel this show along with the Australian version will help shed light on how truly unique each and everyone is on the spectrum.

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!

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.

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.

I'm so pissed there are only six episodes in this season there should be more! This is one of the best reality show so far. Pure and innocent people trying to find love.

What I hate about this show, as well as many of the reviews, that this show continues to "other" people on the spectrum.

This is a voyeuristic exercise, with the insulting premise that maybe these people deserve love too and they definitely need help from someone else

Of course they deserve love! And they do it without the help of condescending TV shows that exist to publicize their relationships and failings.

And the condescending reviews of "I love them all" or "I want to be friends with them" are disgusting. Go out into your community and actually meet people on the spectrum, they won't bite.

I can't wait until the sequel shows "Love in a Wheelchair" and "Blind Love", where we give those other poor disabled people a chance at love that they can't have without the help of those strong able bodied people. The only reason I give 3 stars is because the participants are just stuck here, but the show around the whole thing is repulsive.

Heartwarming series which beautifully shows how much we all want to love and be loved as told through several lovable individuals on the spectrum. You root for everyone in the series to find love, some do while others keep trying. Each story is so well told. This is my favorite series on Netflix and I've enjoyed every season.

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.

This show is amazing! I had a smile on my face the whole time! Such beautiful souls just wanting what all humans want, a true loving connection with someone! This taught me so much about autism! Such awesome people!!!

What an absolute lovely show. These people are so sweet, and their families are so supportive. I believe the producers handled this show with such care, it's truly a special experience. We binged the entire season and by face hurt from smiling for so long. To see a dating show void of the disgusting antics made popular in the 21st century is so refreshing. I loved the characters and was excited to see where each story went. 63-year old Steve's story was my favorite. Even after all these years, the need for love and companionship was still there. If you want to smile, laugh, cry and feel good, I honestly can't recommend this show enough. Truly lovely.

This show rocks! I found myself smiling the whole time that I watched this. It's so pure and wholesome. I'm rooting for everyone on here. This show really opened my eyes on Autism.

What a wholesome cast, I'd love to see their stories continued in Season 2. It was so heartwarming and I loved them all! Finished Season 1 in one day!!

Although the show is well made and captivating, I'm not sure I am comfortable with what is essentially monetizing a disability, I hope the participants were well compensating.

In many instances I felt like the production team didn't try very hard and matched functioning autostic people with potential partners with Dawn syndrome, which is probably creating confusion in the audience since they're not the same thing.

I'm also not sure that autism was accurately represented in this series or that people on the spectrum were.

It seems like producers ran out of ideas and figured out one day "let's just make a circus of people's disabilities and make sure we make the family members famous too".

The participants themselves are mostly sweet people and you want them to be happy and find a partner but maybe a TV show is not the right setting for it.

Both Australian and US shows are simply excellent. I love everything about them - music, directing, camera work etc but most importantly I love all the characters because I can relate to each and one of them. It's like in all of them I see bits and pieces of myself. I totally understand when they say they don't like certain sounds, smells or tactile sensations, I understand how anxiety is part of our everyday lives and how routine is super important. And despite all those "limitations" being able to find someone who likes you and who you like for who they are is simply beautiful. I'm so grateful these shows exist because they inspire me to look for love and give me hope that it is possible.

So often, ASD is presented in film and TV as bluntness, or savantry. Sometimes both. It's such a lazy caricature.

The participants who featured in Love on the Spectrum are a wonderful example of just how diverse the symptoms and implications of ASD can be. They also do a great job of highlighting how one person's 'simple act' that they take for granted, can often be a massive challenge for someone in a different situation.

I loved hearing all of the different expressions of what love means and what the participants are looking for in a partner. There was so much hope and joy in this show that it's impossible not to be drawn into rooting for everyone!

The production team did a great and respectful job that helped to retire tired old tropes and, in doing so, showed us that we have more in common than that which divides us. Bravo to all of you.

The purest, sweetest show ever! Really helps you understand and have better compassion for people on the spectrum, and also just breaks the stigma on Autism in my opinion. It's a beautiful show that will keep you smiling! Highly recommend!

It was lovely seeing the experiences these individuals have as they search for love. They all seem so sweet. James needs his own show and Steve has an amazing voice!

I just smiled the whole time watching it! All the participants are so amazing in their own unique ways. I truly cared for each of them and hope they all find the love they deserve. Steve and Dani just kept me smiling so much. I could just feel how much they cared about people through the show! But they were all so sweet and caring, kind and respectful. I'm so glad I found this and watched it, it truly brought me some happiness!

Whether or not you're neuro-divergent, I bet that the average viewer will be able to connect with the participants and can learn a thing or two about creating solid relationships. This is a relevant series, as dating online or blind dating can be an intimidating event for anyone. And I especially like how you see that everyone on the show has a strong support system at home.
