I am totally blind myself, and I was diagnosed with autism back in 2022, five days before my twenty-seventh birthday.
Having said that, I have a lot of things to say about this movie. Even though the characters featured in the movie are adults, their parents, in addition to other people who serve as their role models, give them advice about dating that you would normally give little kids. Pull out the girl's chair for her. Buy her flowers. Pay for her meals. Make sure that everyone is having a two-way conversation. Don't take up most of the conversation. Don't talk too much about yourself.
They also place a heavy emphasis on common interests. Peter and Kay Lynn (I don't know if I'm spelling her name right) don't like it when people hold dead animals in their profile pictures. Abby and David like lions, tigers, bears, and dolphins. Sabod and Rachel like flying kites. And Danny! Oh my God! Every guy she meets, she asks them if their lives are together, and what their goals are. She wants a guy with money. Who can take her places. Who can give her everything she wants. Did her aunt and uncle ever teach her that it's wrong to feel that way about someone? That it's the guy's personality traits, compassion, trust, and willingness to help others that outweighs everything? Doesn't Danny realize that love is more than common interests? It's about the connection between two people. Their understanding of each other. The energy that they have. She tells Solomon that she's in love with him, and she kisses him on the first date. Then like a week later, she breaks up with him? Solomon told her that she was leading him on the whole time, but she had no idea what that meant, and her aunt and uncle never explained that to her. She wants the guys to get their lives together? Danny doesn't know how to talk to a person. She doesn't know basic social cues. Her aunt and uncle never taught her those things. And James. Emma led him on too. He's very sweet, smart, loving, and articulate. But she told him she wanted to go on a second date, when she really didn't. Because when he asked her if she wanted to, she cried, and her voice trembled, but she said yes anyway. I really like James, Kay Lzynn, Sabod, and Abby. Dannny? No. Please no. Overall, this show eexploits people's ideas of what love is supposed to be. All of the characters on this show are very naÃve and have a very narrow experience of the world, which means that the producer and Jennifer Cook aren't really helping. Because they're giving them little-kid ideas of how love is supposed to feel, and what you need to do or say on a date.
