Autism in Love

The documentary follows four autistic adults as they look for romantic relationships and try to keep going the ones they have. The film presents nobody as a case; it brings forward the words, the pace and the decisions of each of the four. The account offers no expert commentary and does not set out to instruct the viewer. The camera stays beside the same people over a span of months, so how the relationships change is genuinely visible. The worries of families are recorded too, but the decision always remains with the person themselves. Matthew Fuller’s seventy six minute American documentary was completed in 2015.
