Love on the Spectrum Season 3 Premiere: A Dream for Abbey and David
On April 2, coinciding with World Autism Awareness Day, Love on the Spectrum launched its highly anticipated third season. This engaging series continues to explore the heartfelt journeys of individuals on the autism spectrum as they embark on dates in search of lasting love. Season 3 notably highlights the blossoming relationship between Abbey and David, showcasing their mutual admiration and vision for a shared future.
Abbey’s Insightful Podcast Appearance
Prior to the season premiere, Abbey joined her mother, Christine, on The Unplanned Podcast on March 25. During their discussion about Abbey’s aspirations for marriage, she expressed her views on what such a commitment signifies for her:
“Marriage means I’m like a princess.”
This sentiment opened up a conversation regarding non-traditional views of marriage as Abbey and Christine explored the idea that, for Abbey, marriage may not necessitate leaving the comfort of her home.
Details of Abbey and David’s Wedding Aspirations
Excitement filled the air as the podcast host revealed Abbey’s intention to marry David. Abbey had humorously mentioned saving some of her cookies for the big day, while Christine shared plans for a wedding celebration featuring Costco pizza and Yum Yum donuts.
The discussion also touched on an article by Rolling Stone, where Abbey conveyed her goal of marrying David by the close of 2025. Christine jestfully remarked that these ideas were primarily Abbey’s visions and that David might not be fully aware of them.
Notably, both Abbey and David apparently prefer maintaining their respective living arrangements post-marriage—David currently resides with his sister, while Abbey stays with hers.
“Not a rigidity but the idea of changing everything, and that’s really scary.”
Non-Traditional Marriage: A Personalized Approach
Christine emphasized to David’s mother that the nature of their marriage should reflect what is comfortable for them, highlighting that it does not have to conform to conventional standards typically expected of neurotypical couples. Abbey and David could continue living separately and enjoying autonomy until they choose to cohabitate.
Abbey expressed genuine enthusiasm about marriage, as it has long been a dream of hers. She remarked, “I always wanted to grow up so I could get married.”
Family Dynamics and Future Plans
Interestingly, Abbey also shared her aversion to children, particularly loud crying babies, preferring to remain with animals instead. She humorously recounted how David advises her to ignore the sound of crying:
“You know what David does to tell me when I hear a baby crying, ‘Ignore it, Abbey, just ignore it.'”
Additionally, Abbey revealed that David experiences synesthesia, a condition where he associates numbers with colors, enhancing his proficiency in mathematics. Christine explained how David’s sensory processing challenges make it difficult for him to communicate in a way that others might understand:
“It’s a little bit tricky for David to learn that a lot of people don’t understand that because he actually has a more clear-cut language, that’s more direct.”
