As We See it
As We See it is a new series that revolves around three roommates with autism. Their supervisor allows them to continue living in the apartment, provided they set a number of goals. One condition, for example, is that they find and keep paid work. It is also a condition that they surround themselves with friends. Easier said than done, because because of their autism they lack social skills and empathy at important moments.
In addition, they are often too honest. This constantly leads to uncomfortable situations, with the protagonists not shying away from making vicious remarks all the time. The series humorously exposes the inner struggles of people with autism. As We See it will be on view from January 21.
