Is Love on the Spectrum real?

Yes, although Love on the Spectrum is technically a reality TV series, it is unscripted.

Decider describes the show as a “docuseries”.

As per Screen Rant, the way in which Love on the Spectrum came to be a TV show is quite organic: “The creator of the series, Cian O’Clery, actually got the idea and inspiration for Love on the Spectrum from doing other shows about people with disabilities. After working on the Australian documentary series Employable Me that shed light on how having a disability should not make someone unemployable, he came across an interesting and unexpected piece of information… O’Clery heard over and over again from those he worked with that they wanted to find love.”
