While a lot of reality TV shows book their cast through an external casting team, it turns out that the producers for Love on the Spectrum help with the process themselves.<\/p>\n

Cian explained: “We develop relationships with various organizations, support groups, communities and individuals, and just put the call out.<\/p>\n

“We send out flyers that explain who we are and what we\u2019re doing, and if you\u2019re interested in meeting with us and talking about it, get in touch. Lots and lots of people write in.\u201d<\/p>\n
