Until now, the best show revolving around autism was Netflix's Atypical, which is funny, sweet and touching, but Keir Gilchrist was NOT autistic.

This new show involves three 20-somethings on the spectrum who share an LA apartment, BUT all 3 of the actors also identify as autistic. One is agoraphobic (Albert Rutecki), one is good at computers but bad with people (Rick Glassman) and one just wants to fall in love (Sue Ann Pien). They attempt to adjust to the neurotypical world with the help of their families and their caretaker (Sosie Bacon). While it may take a few episodes to get caught up in their challenges, there's no denying that the performances of this trio are not only genuine, but vulnerable and truly affecting. The final episode turns on the water works, but throughout the series there are also moments of humor (often provided by the trio's reactions). The situations seem authentic and they're treated with respect and compassion. Actually, the word "autistic" isn't even spoken until late in the series. As we learn to accept and appreciate them, one of the actors sums it up, "What's the big deal with normal?" This show is certainly a breakthrough in representation and a heartfelt drama.… Expand

Not aure I have enough experience with people on the spectrum to say how accurate it is, but I'm enjoying all the characters. I love how the folks on the spectrum are the stars, but the show still pays tribute to those who are in their lives. Everyone in the cast does an amazing job.

One note; Sur Ann Pien. Why did they cast a trans woman to play a biological woman? I know that sounds transphobic, but hear me out. Pien does an amazing job. She's perfectly cast and she shines in the role, but by that community's logic, she should only be able to play trans characters. After all, when a straight character plays a gay or trans character, we hear a whole lot about representation (remember Eddie Redmayne, Jared Leto, and Scarlet Johansson who all got flack for it). So if we played by those rules, none of us would get to enjoy this wonderful performance.… Expand

A series supposedly focused on the lives of 3 autistic adults, yet largely portrays a harmful point of view commonly seen in media involving disabilities.

This series has some feel-good moments but is overshadowed by the mistreatment and infantilisation of the autistic characters. As ‘We’ See It portrays the harmful narratives of disabled adults as primarily a burden, and how caregivers and family members view disability. Associated with Autism Speaks (a hate organisation that harms the autism community) and directed by non-autistic people, As ‘We’ See It is an unfortunate disappointment that could have centred autistic voices and experiences, but continues to cater to caregivers and family of disabled people.

As an autistic adult, it was uncomfortable to watch and reminded myself of the poor treatment of disabled adults. The autistic characters being played by autistic adults (a bare minimum) gave me hope for positive and authentic representation of autistic adults, however that was not evident.… Expand
