I don't know how well received 'Love on the Spectrum' is in the community but I have to say it was mesmerizing when the one lady was on a date with the DJ guy and they we listing off song after song and the key it was in.

I couldnt watch it because i recognised my own mannerisms so much from that one blonde girl. I couldnt get through it realizing that i'm probably more visually neurodivergent than i thought and it cringed me out LOL (nothing against it, just felt too much like watching myself on tape haha)

I'd say that most people don't mask as well as they think they do, it's just that people also don't pay attention to others very much.
