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.
