00:00:00.919 --> 00:00:04.500
Will the characters in As We
See It open teens' eyes

00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:06.531
and minds?

00:00:06.531 --> 00:00:08.611
"Let's check in on how our
weekly goals are going."

00:00:08.611 --> 00:00:10.070
Most definitely.

00:00:10.070 --> 00:00:11.070
[Music plays]

00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:14.670
This powerful drama series follows
the lives of three adults, all on the

00:00:14.670 --> 00:00:17.800
autism spectrum, sharing
an apartment in L.A.

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.830
"I-I'm sorry, it's the Aspergers-
he doesn't mean it."

00:00:20.830 --> 00:00:24.050
From a diversity perspective, this
show is refreshingly honest.

00:00:24.050 --> 00:00:27.769
The three stars differ in age, 
race, and ethnicity, and both

00:00:27.769 --> 00:00:30.041
the neurodivergent and 
neurotypical characters are

00:00:30.041 --> 00:00:34.059
humanized and given agency, 
dignity, and respect.

00:00:34.059 --> 00:00:35.600
"...you shouldn't have
to hide who you are."

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.751
On top of that, strong messages 
of courage and perseverance

00:00:38.751 --> 00:00:40.550
are woven into 
most episodes.

00:00:40.550 --> 00:00:42.070
"...push right through it!"

00:00:42.070 --> 00:00:46.294
As for iffy stuff, expect some 
frank sex talk, insults, plus use

00:00:46.294 --> 00:00:48.139
of F-bombs and S-words.

00:00:48.139 --> 00:00:49.920
"...that's tragic."

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.263
Common Sense says As We 
See It is OK for teens 13 and up,

00:00:54.263 --> 00:00:57.249
and we've named it a 
Common Sense selection.

00:00:57.249 --> 00:01:02.979
