I love to relate my writing to other aspects of my life that I find interesting, for example, my favorite tv show at the moment, inspiration from others, current events, etc...

I'm now fascinated with the TV show, Love On the Spectrum. It's on Netflix, and really dials down on the challenges people with autism face, while trying to find love, and communicate their feelings with others.

It's something that the everyday person wouldn't think twice about but is a massive struggle for millions. Most of the time, the common denominator with folks on the spectrum is the challenge of social skills and how to interpret things. It could be as simple as eye contact, thinking of things to talk about with others (which I feel is a HUGE challenge for everyone, on the spectrum or not), and interpreting how others think of them.

To answer the question, yes, people on the spectrum can find love. In the show, there are therapists and aids that interview them, and pair them with someone who is closer to them on the spectrum. The spectrum is VERY broad, so this is the biggest challenge. The therapists will also guide them through the entire process, which I think is amazing. They give them tips to help build better connections.

Most of the people on the show, state in their interviews that they never would've thought they would be capable of maintaining a relationship or even finding someone that would love them, for them. Thats the best thing about watching Love On The Spectrum, you can see them blossom and potentially find their soulmate.
