Usually, if Americans are going to take something over, there’s a general consensus that they’re going to mess it up, and a lot of that criticism is warranted. But is it the same for loving the spectrum US?
We have a new season of Love on the Spectrum. This is an Australian show that came out back in 2019. Netflix picked it up in 2020, and they released a season 2 in 2021.
It is a very simple reality show concept brought to us following adults with autism spectrum disorder who are looking for love, many of whom are doing so for the very good. But how could this US season possibly keep my attention without those Australian accents?
About The Show
Before diving into Love on the Spectrum US Season 2 Episode 1, let’s quickly talk about the show. Let’s talk about some of the cast that we had in the previous season. First up, we have Dani. She’s 26 and lives with her aunt and uncle.
Dani loves animation; she is obsessed. She actually teaches animation to kids on the spectrum, which is very cool. She’s looking for a dude who has life goals and a lot of money. Go ahead and get what you want, girl, and she has her MBA. The dude she went on a date with is a stage 5 clinger, and he doesn’t like animation.
Next up, we have Abby, and apparently, Abby was already TikTok famous way before the show. Yeah, she’s got 350,000 followers and over 9 million likes, and that’s good content. Abby is 23, and she lives with her mom and her brother. She loves lions and Disney princesses. She said that Little Mermaid is her favorite.
Then we got James, who’s 34, and he lives with his mom and dad. James has Asperger’s Syndrome, which is a form of autism spectrum disorder. Elon Musk actually came forward and revealed that he also has Asperger’s syndrome. And if you ever watched Elon, it might make a little bit more sense now.
As far as the spectrum goes, people with Asperger’s syndrome don’t usually have early language delays. In fact, they actually have pretty good language and, a lot of the time, average intelligence, where they struggle with their speech patterns and understanding things like irony, humor, and sarcasm. Just a lot of those social cues that neurotypical people don’t have to think about just to have a conversation.
But back to James on the show, James was diagnosed as a kid, but back then, we didn’t know nearly as much as we know now about Asperger’s, so, of course, he was bullied. He’s into all that Renaissance stuff, Medieval stuff, costumes, and all that stuff.
There’s a scene where he’s showing the producers all the stuff you collect in his room, and he gets to his stamp collection, and he’s like, “I don’t use these stamps; they’re just conversation starters.” Now let’s discuss when Episode 1 of Love on the Spectrum US Season 2 will be released and what will happen in it.
