“Love on The Spectrum” has acquired a arsenal from the lovers of the past three seasons, highlighting the love stories aimed at the heart and documentary representation of dating during the autism spectrum.
While the series focuses heavily on emerging relationships, it also shows the relationships that are bound by the stars of reality with their brothers, who have gained followers of their fans in this process. “Love on the spectrum” is not ashamed of the challenges faced by people with autism spectrum disorder, and it confirms how important these support systems are of reality stars.
With this in mind, in contact with Ben Romeo (ABBEY ROMEO), Jack and Anna Tomlinson (siblings to Conor Tomlinson), and Midge Smith (Tanner Smith’s sister) to learn more about what was the case with their upbringing with their brothers. Although all of them were honest that their upbringing faced its challenges, it also stresses that it will not change it for the world. This is what they shared.
The presence of a brother with autism is a natural simplicity.
In 25, Ben more than a year younger than a monastery. He says, “Living with a brother with autism” is very familiar to me, “adding that,” Because she is older than me, I never knew anything else. “
This is a common topic with everyone we talked to. “It is normal for us,” says Jack. It is crazy that we see all these interactions [to the show] Because just our brother. ”
Midge notes that Tanner was diagnosed with autism at the same time that she was born. “Autism has always been the thing that I felt as if we were around us – which is definitely comfortable, in the best schools, and getting the best treatment,” she says.
But Ben says he only grows, he realized that things were a little different in his family from those that only have nervous children.
They had to mature faster than other children of their age.
Everyone we spoke to them said that they feel more emotionally spread because of his brother. “I think I am because of who is Connor,” says Anna. “He really taught me sympathy and only to care for others.”
Ben also says that the presence of a sister with autism means that he needs to learn to deal with a variety of situations. He says: “As I am old, I was aware of what it really means that my sister suffers from autism, and what does that mean in the world.” “I had to grow faster than most children.”
Although he is the younger brother, Ben says he would have to see his older sister when his mother was at work. “It was a way to force myself to mature faster,” he says. “But by the time when high school and colleges might revolve around, I felt more mature and independent than my colleagues. I was more satisfied and confident in the place where I was.”
They are very protection from their brothers.
Anna says that she grew up to realize the challenges that Connor faced the way he was imagining and how others treated him. “It was difficult to see as a child,” she says. “You can’t stop all the comments.”
She remembers sticking to her brother when they were young. “If the children are picking it up, you were the first to ascend, which is somewhat strange – it’s greater than me,” she says. But she also emphasizes her love for her brother. “I feel that I have contact with Connor I don’t have with anyone else on this planet,” says Anna. “This is personal. This is the man.”
Ben also says he is “very protection” for his sister, noting that his relationship with Abbey is “little parents” in a few ways. “It is greater than me, but there will always be a protective instinct towards it,” he says.
Midge says that her sister took the preventive role in Tanner when they grew up, but she is now helping to take care of him as his journey. “In general, really, I will not get it in any other way,” she says.
They usually have a family conversation about autism at some point.
Bin recalls a conversation with his parents about the monastery disorder at the age of five, but he says he does not remember the word “autism”. Instead, he says there is a “more explanation” about the reason for ABBEY behavior in certain ways at different times. “Very quickly, the full picture was very clear,” he says.
Anna says that her parents were Connor explaining his disturbance to her, after explaining to him first. “It was really important for my mother and my father to hold that conversation with him first,” she says. “They allowed him to tell us about this. They wanted to know about it first before telling the entire family.”
Anna says that she was not worn as a child after she learned that her older brother was on the spectrum. “It was like it, well, wonderful. This is just a fact about you. ”
But Jack, who is smaller than Anna, says that there was no conversation to sit. He says, “He was our older brother.” “When I got to a certain age, I started thinking,” Why is Connor doing this or doing it? “But he did not change anything.”
Their parents are rock music stars.
Bin says that his mother worked hard to make sure he had more natural education as possible. “This was not perfect, but no one is raising it,” he says. “I made my mom very natural. If you want to be people, you can make it feel normal, because it was [Abbey] And for me.
Anna also remembers her mother doing things like using educational cards to teach Connor about facial expressions and what she meant. “He takes a lot of things with the nominal value and cannot understand irony,” she explained.
Midge says she was “very difficult” on her mother, who is growing up to focus on Tanner, but now realizes that her mother did a great job in raising her four children, including one on the spectrum. “She has done such a stunning work to make everything fun,” says Meadge. “We were always going.”
It is affected by those as people.
Midge is now a teacher, and says her upbringing with Tanner has affected her work. “I feel more sympathetic to all my students and the way they learn,” she says. “I expanded my lens.”
Anna also says that life with Connor has affected how she looks at things now. “You have a different lens on the world,” she says. “You look at someone who behaves a little differently and don’t think first,” What is wrong with this person? “She says.” It is more like, “something may happen there.”
They just want people to accept their siblings.
Everyone we spoke to them praised their famous brothers now to the real people who-and repeated a lot that they want others to understand them. “Love on the spectrum” gives them hope. Ben says: “The exhibition shed light on a nervous difference that people heard, but they do not understand.” “But they understand that now.”
“There is no need to worry about the world that rules a monastery as much.”
