I’m excited to announce Amazon has placed an order for a unique TV Series about Autism called On the Spectrum. As a matter of fact, the show not only features one character with Autism, but there are three!
Until now, the show was an Israeli Autistic Drama. However, Amazon Studios has recently decided to bring the series to a larger audience. Keeping a similar storyline in the remake is equally important because of the proven success the series has shown thus far. Presently called On the Spectrum, the show highlights 3 roommates in their 20’s tackling life’s hurdles through an autistic lens. As you might expect there are some comedic social situations in relation to dating, work-life, and friendships. I read a review from someone that wrote ” the series allows us to experience life from a sensitive point of view.” Well, isn’t that the truth. In my opinion, that’s such a perfect way to describe my friends who have autism. Sensitive to life coupled with being creative, funny, and caring.
Also, important to note Jason Katmis, the show’s writer has a 23-year-old son on the spectrum. Personally being able to tell this coming of age story was important to him. Katmis , you might remember is the same writer that brought us Parenthood and Friday Night Lights. With exceptional shows like those in his repertoire, the On the Spectrum TV series on Amazon is sure to be an entertaining autism masterpiece.
