Tanner and Shyann mutually decided to remain friends after a date, but Tanner felt a connection with Callie, who has Williams syndrome. They have been spending time together and plan to visit each other.
Nicci, Tanner’s mother, addressed criticism about the show’s portrayal of dating on the autism spectrum, emphasizing that Tanner has faced significant challenges despite being considered high-functioning. She hopes to shed light on the experiences of families raising children with autism who may not have the same level of verbal communication skills as Tanner.
Nicci shared advice for parents who have just received an autism diagnosis, highlighting the importance of understanding their child’s needs and triggers instead of searching for a cure. She emphasized the importance of consistency, hard work, and adjusting expectations to achieve positive outcomes. By embracing their son’s autism rather than trying to eliminate it, Nicci and her family have been able to help Tanner thrive.
