It's that time of the month... The month of February to be specific. With all the couples and cuddles and cuffing going around, it makes me more anxious than ever about my chances of getting on the Emmy Award-winning reality show, Love on the Spectrum. Christopher and John also applied to be on the show, so I decided to chat with them just to meet other autistics looking for love, and whether our enamored endeavors are endearing enough for the LOTS production team.
