I’m putting my foot in my mouth to a moderate extent in the context of reality television and my thoughts about it; I wrote a post a little while ago depicting my honest thoughts about a reality television series titled Love is Blind, and in that post, I made mention of how I’m not an avid watcher of reality television.
Yet, here I am, writing another post about a different reality television series I recently began watching. I suppose that makes me a bit of a hypocrite, but it could simultaneously suggest that I’m broadening my horizons in the television realm. I’m not going to dedicate too much effort toward debating this change in my television-watching habits.
Blaine and I started watching Love on the Spectrum a few nights ago, and I am truly so happy we did. I’ve been eyeing this show on Netflix for a while now, and when I told Blaine what it entails, he, too, was intrigued, and we decided to watch one episode.
We watched four in one evening.
Love on the Spectrum is a reality television show about individuals on the autism spectrum trying to find a partner in the dating game. It provides viewers with a glimpse into the harsh reality of what dating is like for people on the autism spectrum, in addition to the many challenges they face in daily life that people who are not on the autism spectrum would be totally oblivious to.
This show has been tremendously eye-opening for Blaine and me in the sense that he and I have been seriously educated about individuals on the autism spectrum and the difficulties they face and also overcome in our world, in addition to learning quite a bit about autism itself. It is emotional, heart-warming, sad at times, and incredibly genuine, and I would recommend it to anyone.
