Love on the Spectrum is back in the U.S. and with a new group of autistic people looking for love. In Season 1, we met people like Dani, a highly motivated and focused animator; Subodh, who’s been single all his life and eager to change that (and whose mother feels ill-equipped to help him navigate American dating culture); and Steve, a more recently diagnosed 63-year-old who wants to give his long-abandoned dream of finding a special someone another chance now that he’s beginning to better understand himself. In Season 2, we check back in with some of these familiar faces and follow the romantic journeys of a few new people on the spectrum as well.

When asked by her uncle and aunt what she wants from an “adult relationship,” autistic actor Dani Bowman answers, “You mean checking out the size of his banana?” Dani’s uncle and aunt — also her guardians — let out an embarrassed laugh in response. Dani repeats, “You know what I mean? His banana!” More awkward laughter follows. After a pause, the aunt says, “A lot of people think that girls on the spectrum don’t think about sex, but you do!”
The scene is a snippet from Netflix’s viral reality dating show, “Love on the Spectrum,” the newest season of which was released — and topped trending lists — on the streaming giant recently. The documentary-style show, which captures autistic participants navigating the dating world, won three Emmys in 2022 including for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program, and has quickly become a darling of neurotypical audiences. “Heartwarming,” and “enlightening” are some common descriptors used by reviewers.

When Abbey Romeo, 25, was little, her favorite Disney princess was Ariel from The Little Mermaid. “She’s a mermaid who wanted to be with the humans, just like how I wanted to be with neurotypical people,” she says. “And when she finally became human, she couldn’t talk. She felt isolated and alone. And that’s how I felt.” She struggled with communication, and had immense difficulty joining conversations. “I wanted to speak but the words wouldn’t come out,” she recalls.

It was a gloomy Thursday afternoon on Aug. 31, 2017. My wife, Jessica, and I were sitting in a doctor’s office, waiting to speak with a the nurse practitioner who specializes in child development, who would tell us the results of her observation with our two-year-old son, Noah. She’d asked various questions regarding what he does and doesn’t do daily, and had given him different activities to perform in front of her. Jessica and I were formulating theories about what she might say about our son and his development after we’d qualified for early intervention services in our state, receiving therapies for fine motor, communication and others. Our older daughter, Sophia, also went through intervention after not demonstrating the “required word count” after hitting 18 months of age. But once we’d put her in preschool, she never stopped talking and expected a similar outcome with Noah.
And then she walked back in,...

Thought-provoking and positive stories go a long way with audiences. That’s what this year’s Emmy nominated casting directors in outstanding casting for a reality program sought when casting their respective shows.
To get those positive stories, honesty and authenticity were key. Combined, these series helped to tell rich and diverse stories.
“RuPaul’s Drag Race”
How does the reigning champion of Reality TV, “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” continue to raise the bar with each new season of the show?
“The Queens themselves continue to raise the bar,” the show’s casting director Goloka Bolte says.
The search for America’s drag superstar is a year-round process. Bolte explains, “We ‘formally’ cast the show for about eight to ten weeks, between when we announce casting and when the final tape submissions are due, but we keep an eye out for fresh talent everywhere we go.

Don’t mistake Netflix’s new unscripted series “Love on the Spectrum” for another reality dating show. Though the love-centric series, out Wednesday, follows the success of predecessors like “Love is Blind” and “Too Hot to Handle,” it’s not a competition at all — it’s a chance for neurotypical people to understand the experience of dating with autism.
