Histoires d'amour et d'autisme

Just came across this accidentally while browsing on Netflix & put it on as a background watch while online. My husband and I however, had put our phones down within minutes and were totally absorbed in the stories of lovely people with aspergers attempting to find love & their incredible families.

We laughed. We cried. We were totally invested in every story & watched the whole series that evening. It's just wonderful & a perfect antidote to the horrible world out there. Just do yourself a favour & watch it.

If you need something to remind you that there is still good in this world, this is the show to watch. At the end I just wanted to hug each and every one of them.

Being on the spectrum and looking for love seems almost identical to not being on the spectrum and looking for love. The main difference seems to be that some people with ASD are more aware of all the challenges you must face when going on dates and therefore prepare more for them. We can all learn something from this.

That's why this series is so moving. You recognize yourself in every situation. The nervousness and awkwardness you feel when you meet someone for the first time; the rules and rituals that make the dates feel a bit strange and unnatural; the difficult task of reading the other person's signals and sorting out your own feelings - we've all been there.

I laughed, cried, cringed, and went aaaww many times while watching this. The people in this series are incredibly brave. It's a privilege to be allowed to follow them in their pursuit of a life partner. They inspire me to face my own fears with more courage.

This is a wonderful series that I'd recommend to anyone.

This is just a really heartwarming series. It felt like the makers really wanted to help the people participating. Really loved it and shows how unique people on the autism spectrum can be!

Better than a 10 to me, I almost wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this series so much! I have Asperger's syndrome disorder I like to use all the variations of it. Such a great documentary show about people on the spectrum; so glad this was recommended to me a few times. I love everything about this unique gem! So heartwarming, inspirational, perfectly awkward, and well made! I've barely had relationships, mostly weird ones and never a proper one with common interests maybe one day.
