Oh, we're in the hundreds at this point.

Despite having a wonderful career, my personal life is very empty.

I don't know that Love on the Spectrum is really achieving all that it looks like it is achieving, which is not to say that it's not doing good or that it's not a net positive, because it certainly is.

However, I just don't know that it's resulting in this wonderful interconnected life in the way that people may think that it does.

It's tricky because with casting, I think they're looking for people who are also kind of bubbly and exuberant to a certain degree.

One time I had talked about myself not making great reality television because while my story may be unique, it's not like viewers are sitting on the edge of their seats wondering, oh my God, is she going to put her hands down his pants?

No one is wondering that.

My behavior was, I think, maybe too predictable to make good entertaining television.

They're looking for people who have the ability to communicate decently well on camera.

People who prefer to be alone and prefer not to go out or to meet new people.

And I think that's a large portion of the autism spectrum are not going to be good candidates for this.

Right.

Nobody would be anyone's spirit animal.

If this didn't exist, he would just be another weirdo for lack of a better term who works at a hotel and nobody would give him a second glance.

Um,

I don't know, maybe it just shines a light on the fact that acceptance in modern society is kind of contingent on some of these more palatable factors.

And is that the fault of the show?

I don't know.

Is that the responsibility of the show?

I tend to think not.
