Lenny searches for the perfect woman, Lindsey and David consider the next step in their relationship, and Stephen faces the end of his marriage as best as he can. Director Matt Fuller’s sparkling feature documentary debut is all about relationships: how we feel our way past beginnings, endings, and all of the milestones in between.

With beautiful cinematography and remarkable compassion, Fuller examines the everyday realities of autistic adulthood, showing how the members of this often-misunderstood community cope with the challenge of keeping romance alive over the years. Capturing both the joys and heartbreak of love, Fuller emphasizes struggles that are only too familiar, creating in Autism in Love a relatable and winning celebration of accepting the differences in others and in ourselves.
