Atypical

This heartwarming show is a teen rom-com with a refreshing twist: the story follows Sam, an 18-year-old on the autism spectrum, who sets out to become more independent and find romance. The series takes a look at how confusing the world of dating can be for everyone, while bringing the topic of autism to the spotlight.  

Bonus: It was recently green-lighted for a third (!!!) season, so you’ll be rewarded down the line if you become hooked.
