![]() This world is not the best at times, and there are just certain shows that we need to make our lives seem better and to bring a smile to our faces.ĭating shows, in general, can frequently perpetuate this idea that physical attraction is really what you should be focusing on when it comes to a relationship. (Image credit: Netflix) The Relationships Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity There isn’t a moment in either season of this show where I’ve looked at the television and thought “this is blatantly put in there just for drama.” Nothing feels too dramatic - it’s just pure adoration and love, and that’s something I can get behind. They want them to succeed so badly in every way, shape and form from the very first episode. That seems like blatantly milking drama on the show, drama that didn’t need to happen, all so that the reunion could be crazy.īut, with Love on the Spectrum, there is no need for that, because the creators genuinely care about the participants and their relationships.

Many of these people, when you first look at them, you’d never think in a million years that they would have ASD, just based off of their mannerisms. There isn’t a single moment where I’ve watched this series and thought that the creators crossed a line and stepped a little too far into the stereotypes that have rocked the autism community, but every single participant in this show is so beautifully unique in their own way and a wonderful conglomeration of just how wide the autism spectrum is. This show is cast so authentically that it’s the perfect representation of people on the spectrum. ![]() As someone who is related to people on the autism spectrum who's seen the stereotypes that are perpetuated in the media pretty consistently for autistic people, I was nervous to see if this show was going to be like that, and I was gladly mistaken. With a show called Love on the Spectrum, there might be a little bit of concern for those who don’t know exactly how the show works. (Image credit: Netflix) The Participants Are All Unique ![]()
