So, there are a lot of future episodes that are gonna be upbeat, positive, and happy, while there are others that are going to be more serious, especially as life is a not a Disney movie. And, autism is not a Disney movie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She welcomes people to her show and explains she&#8217;s started the channel to create awareness about autism. Madison continues: &#8220;I was never interested in dating before being on Love on the Spectrum.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I was in high school and all my friends were dating&#8230; I never had an interest in it, I never understood the complex social skills involved with dating&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8220;I did have a crush on my friend Maddie&#8217;s boyfriend, Ben&#8230; and I felt left out when all my friends were asked to prom and I never had a prom date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>By the time Madison went off to college, she said she still didn&#8217;t feel ready to date and thought she was &#8220;lagging behind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;Life is not a Disney movie&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dating with Autism\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8Lorkrx7p2M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>These days, Madison says she&#8217;s &#8220;very happy that <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/2025\/05\/14\/this-is-what-the-love-on-the-spectrum-couples-will-look-like-in-old-age-according-to-ai\/\">the show gave her Tyler.<\/a>&#8221; But she adds that although they&#8217;re &#8220;happy and in love,&#8221; they&#8217;ve had to &#8220;compromise&#8221; along the way.<\/p>\n<p>She explained how seeing Abbey and David&#8217;s love story inspired her to want to appear on the Netflix series.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Love on the Spectrum opened my eyes up to dating and then <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/2025\/04\/10\/inside-the-inspirational-life-of-love-on-the-spectrums-expert-jennifer-cook\/\">Jennifer Cook<\/a>, gave me a lot of great advice. Dating was not in my comfort zone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Madison continued: &#8220;I&#8217;ve had to do things with Tyler that I didn&#8217;t care for at first, like going to see a documentary&#8230; that would be in the learning zone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Over the last year, I&#8217;ve gotten into more crime shows and documentaries because of him, and dating has put me in the growth mindset.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Love on the Spectrum icon recalled feeling super lonely at prom, but now says it&#8217;s &#8220;funny looking back.&#8221; She added how she&#8217;s now &#8220;thankful&#8221; to be in a relationship these days. Detailing some of her struggles, Madison tells her audience: &#8220;Life is not a Disney movie&#8230; not all dating is going to be perfect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tyler and I, we have different personalities,&#8221; she continues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I may be more of a planner, he&#8217;s more spontaneous. He&#8217;s much more affectionate than I am, and it doesn&#8217;t mean we don&#8217;t get along, it means that we can work through these differences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Madison concluded that there&#8217;s &#8220;nothing wrong with being a late bloomer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She said &#8220;I believed at first dating would be like a Disney movie. But life is not like that, you go through conflict. You go through conflict and you have to deal with compromise&#8230; You have a lot more turmoil in life than you do in a Disney movie. Life is not perfect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like\u00a0<\/i><a
