Shelley<\/a> has shared the real reason she agreed to appear on Love on the Spectrum<\/a>, and she hasn’t mentioned her boyfriend James<\/a> within that. She actually opened up about her childhood in the UK, and how the show has “been so meaningful” to her as a result.<\/p>\n

She wrote on her Medium blog: “That is one reason why being part of Netflix\u2019s Love on the Spectrum US has been so meaningful. The show gave me a platform not only to share my story, but also to show that autistic people can live full, loving, and complex lives.<\/p>\n

“Filming was not always easy; there were moments of vulnerability, when I opened up about my relationship, my insecurities, and my experiences of growing up without answers. Yet I knew that showing that reality could make a difference to someone watching.”<\/p>\n
