Alright, I finished #loveonthespectrum and have lots of thoughts! Overall, I loved it 💙 As an SLP who works primarily with teens and adults with #autism, here are the things I thought the show did well:
- showing that people on spectrum have empathy and a desire to find love
- having each person describe what autism means to them
- celebrating their differences and not just calling autism a disability
- Jodi’s work with them (very similar to how I approach dating with my clients)
- Using the PEERS program (I will be running a dating boot camp in the spring!)
- discussing numerous times that autism is a spectrum and everyone is unique and has their own set of challenges and strengths
- Treating each adult LIKE an adult and never taking down to them. The interactions with the director very respectful and kind
- Showing the adult’s relationships with their awesome families
- The adults and parents describing how much progress they’ve made since first being diagnosed (I feel this is especially important for parents with young kids on the spectrum to hear because having a great support system is key to a successful adult life)
Things I didn’t like:
- the narrator explaining each person’s likes and dislikes, felt very childish.
- it was too short!

All in all, I thought it was very well done and highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about an awesome group of people! #autismawareness #adultswithautism #peers #slp #autismacceptance #aspergers #aspie
