Created by Karina Holden and Cian O’Clery, Netflix’s ‘Love on the Spectrum’ is a reality show adapted from its namesake Australian version. It documents the dating and romantic journey of a group of people on the autism spectrum, trying to find the one who loves and accepts them with all their heart. The third season introduces us to a bunch of new singles alongside a few familiar faces who navigate the world of dating and get a deeper knowledge of themselves at the same time. Moreover, they also hold deep conversations with the professional dating coach, Jennifer Cook, who provides them with helpful dating tips. Since the individuals come from different walks of life from different states, the backdrop constantly changes, just like their journeys.
