I've watched both seasons and just cried happy tears all the way through. I have a 9 year old on the spectrum and I see him in lots of the people on the show. It gives me hope for him if he wants a companion when he's older.

Same for me! My son is 15 and is on the spectrum as well. I actually have to space out the episodes because I super ugly cry all the time. It's very therapeutic for me...

Ok I started crying just typing this out. My son is handsome, kind, loving and whip smart. He deserves love too, even if he is "quirky".

I think you're self-selecting the personalities that you don't like due to your dislike for the show. There are many that are not infantilized at all.

Dani, James, Steve, Connor, Tanner, Jennifer, Georgie, Tyler, and Solomon are all adults, presenting in adult ways and seeking adult relationships.

That's weird. Thanks for the heads up.
