Is Netflix's *Love on the Spectrum* a heartwarming window into autistic dating, or does it trade on awkwardness for entertainment? We explore the fierce debate between autism advocacy groups and self-advocates. From infantilizing musical cues and the problem of "masking" to the show's narrow slice of the spectrum, we unpack what the series gets right, what it gets wrong, and why the autistic community itself is divided.
