Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Lucas André Not much to say.The show might not be 100% accurate in portraying autism but it's just brilliant and funny how they compiled everything into this great show.
efirth-51120 I am an Aspergian and I relate SO much to Sam. I have the same sensory issues as him and I have been through a lot of the same issues in life. He is a stereotype of autistic people though. Because of this, I feel like this show will make people assume I am incapable of a lot of things. Sam's girlfriend is an accurate representation of people who are ignorant to autism and the people who think we are all "special" witch is bull.. The one thing that really bothers about this series, is that they focus so much on Elsa, Sam's mom. I feel like this series is telling viewers that autistic people are just a burden and a hassle. We haven't been shown the beautiful side of autism and all of the amazing things autism can bring. Just like in real life society, doctors and professionals always focus on the care takers of autistic people. Which is important, I understand, but they never have support groups for actual autistic people. I feel misrepresented and disappointed.
aarontramp Yes, as others have stated, the representation of Autism in this show is probably incorrect. However, if like me you just want to watch a show for a giggle and to get involved with characters, this show is perfect. It's incredibly funny but just don't take the show too seriously and it's fantastic.
andy_kts13 I am always being skeptical when I watch a TV-series or movies dealing with issues like Autism Spectrum Disorders.I firmly believe that this particular show is a great opportunity for everyone to learn what Autism is, how the person in the spectrum deals with everyday life, how the family of the person with autism deal with challenges and actually get a (great given ) grasp of acceptance and respect towards people with ASDs. I strongly recommend this series, to any person out there who wants to learn about Autism and understand the people who have it. It is also a strong recommendation to teachers, specialists and caregivers who would like to learn how to handle people with ASDs in their environment.Great acting, loving concept, congratulations !
