As We See It

I have autism and relate to the main characters. The sound anxiety, not having a filter, meltdowns just not as much as I did when I was younger, and especially trouble socializing. As We See It is one of the most accurate representations of life on the spectrum, definitely deserves praise! Ambient music is brilliant in it when it happens. I love Harrison (Albert Rutecki) he's great and Mandy (Sosie Bacon) is wonderful throughout!

My husband and I sat down and watched this entries first season in one night. We both have always thought my 51 year old husband is undiagnosed on the spectrum due to certain things he struggles with but most would not notice and is a genius is so many mechanical areas. Seeing him watch this series was something spectacular. He got emotional many times and that is a rare thing for him to show. Our 20 year old son is Autistic but is considered low verbal and low functioning in the expectations of society but does just fine at home with us. We've almost done the apartment for him with the roommates but have held off due to the Pandemic. Although our son won't experience several things that Violet, Jack and Harrison are shown to in the series, it is comforting knowing that there are people out there like Mandy who care enough to make sure they do experience all that they can in life. The role of an advocate for people in need is such an under appreciated career and life path. This show is fantastic on so many levels. It is clearly noted for 16+ and for good reason. This show should be viewed by anyone wanting to advocate or have any involvement with a family member that is a young adult or preparing to become one and what struggles may lie ahead for them. The writing, the delivery, and the chemistry are amazing. I really hope it gets another season.

I am a support worker for adults on the autistic spectrum. This programme is brilliant. It is honest and real and shows how life can be for people with autism and also for their loved ones and friends. Every character reminded me of somebody I work with and it is funny, emotional and interesting. You don't have to see it as a programme about autism or be particularly interested in the condition - it is very entertaining and will probably open people's minds without forcing it down their throats. I cannot recommend it enough. It brought tears to my eyes for different reasons as it hits home in a wonderful way. The bonus videos are also well worth a watch as it features some of the actors (who are autistic 'irl' as Violet would say!) relating some of their experiences and explaining a little about behaviours and what they mean. It's about time something like this was created and I for one am very grateful. My only complaint is that there weren't more episodes so I really hope another series is imminent.

I don't normally do reviews but this show was a surprise I was bored had none to watch seen it and boy it took me by storm I fell in love with it and binged all 8 episodes in one night, it's heartfelt, funny, serious, and all around amazing in my opinion a must watch.

I can't believe this show is cancelled. It's so gross that Amazon cancelled it - this is one of the best shows ever- and SO IMPORTANT for this representation. We need to know what happens with Maddie, Violet, Jack and Harrison.

What a touching, amazing show - I've laughed and cried through all of it and my husband and I watched all eight episodes in one evening. I hope some other network or streaming service picks it up- it will be a tragic mistake to let it go.

I don't know if these actors are autistic in real life but their portrayal of these characters is so real, so moving, and just really shows the different sides of living on the spectrum.
