Autism is often not portrayed by members on the spectrum in Hollywood outside the character of Max on NBC’s ‘Parenthood’.
Now ‘Parenthood’ creator Jason Katims has developed a new series about three 25-year-old adults living on the autism spectrum as they work to adapt to society. Jason was influenced to develop the series after realizing adults living on the spectrum hadn’t been portrayed in the mainstream media. In the interview, series stars Rick Glassman, Sue Ann Pien, and Albert Rutecki share their emotional journeys of being diagnosed and living with autism as an adult while co-star Joe Mantegna and showrunner Jason Katims talk about their experiences of being parents to adults on the spectrum in real life.
Meanwhile, Chris Pang and Sosie Bacon discuss their roles that provide additional emotional support in the series. This is a hilarious and emotional interview you don’t want to miss! I highly recommend sharing this video with friends, family, and anyone else you know that may benefit from watching this series. Trust me, AS WE SEE IT is a great series you don’t want to miss. I literally watched the entire season in a single sitting. It’s that good!
