I watched the first episode of this yesterday. I started watching Love on the Spectrum before I self-realised, but unsurprisingly, became irritated by the way people were infantilised. I did like Michael however & I think this show has promise. 🤞🏼@actuallyautistic
@Susan60@actuallyautistic I gave up watching love on the spectrum with the way they were treating people and with what happened on the so called dates they went on...
Yeah, same here. We learned too little about them, with the whole focus being on their pursuit of romance & their social skills or lack thereof. What strengths & skills did they have?
Imagine if we’d seen these people discussing their disabilities & experiences with each other. Honestly & openly. A big ask for them to expose themselves that way on TV, but what we saw was choreographed masking.
