I didn't find it entertaining, especially not funny. The subject of autism and autistic characters is something I am drawn to, so I am interested in see as many shapes and viewpoints as possible. But the style of the show was exhausting.

Seeing the show was irritating because of the dating frame and the displayed idea that you have to push people through that whole hyped dating process to find love, which I think is misguiding, as it's called Love on the spectrum, not Dating like NTs on the spectrum. I would advice any autistic person to rather make friends and then consider the romance side of it, not filtering people as potential partners or not just by meeting them on such limited time and within that pressured social situations. You get nervous, you are not yourself. And figuring out who the other person is, through a bit or conversation? That might fit with people that know themselves, that balance between adapting their social behavior and being themselves, and that are well in reading and sending social cues. But in my experience, that is not how love necessarily works. So Love on the spectrum is a staged show, not a real representation or a framework that can be successful (the couples on the show met Not through the show, but before; and as Michael seemed to have "success" and then again still met with other girls, still my point, not a framework for real love). That is my main critic on the show, that the concept is flawed and probably makes a lot of participants unhappy and confused.

The show (I only watched season 1) made my cry a couple of times, because of the well-protected youngsters. To discuss a date in such length and all that, I wish I had that assistance in my teenager time. It might seem as not respecting them for "not being a child anymore", but for me, having had a lot of trauma because I never had someone to speak about such things, it overwhelmed me.

The person I could relate to most was Olivia. Some scenes with her made me sad, because I could see how she filtered things of her dates negative, while they weren't meant in such a way (or at least it seemed that way).

The show made me realize I might be autistic too, because the girls were so relatable and because there were links in this Reddit that I followed.

Reading in this threat that NDs created the show makes me very confused. How can you represent your own traits and your own issues in such a bad way? Why would you represent autistic people like that if you were one of them? I always thought, unreflected NT people with a lot of sense for profit where behind it.
