Get ready for a dose of warm-hearted dopamine because Love on the Spectrum Season Two is premiering tonight in Australia.
The reality TV programme is kind of like First Dates but is purely for people who are on the autism spectrum.
The participants get taught by relationship expert Jodi Rogers how to approach dating scenarios, what to do on a date, how to ask someone out and the proper etiquette.

The series also explores each person's life, how their autism affects them, and what they're looking for in a potential partner.
Then they're matched up with someone and we get to see what happens.
While it might sound like it's an invasive and intrusive TV show, it's been praised for the way it shows how neurodiverse and neurotypical people date.

Love on the Spectrum gives people a really good insight into the way people with autism deal with love, relationships, feelings, emotions and other aspects related to dating.
The programme debuted in 2019 on the ABC before it was picked up by Netflix and broadcast around the country.
People who soaked up every second of the first season will be delighted to know Michael is coming for another shot at love.
Speaking about his return to the small screen, Michael said he is getting bored of being single.

"It's lonely, it's boring, and it's also unfulfilling and it makes you feel like you lack a purpose. I can't see myself without a wife. There's no other way for me," he said.
Joining him will be Season One's Mark, as well as and engaged couple Jimmy and Sharnae.
They'll be featured alongside newcomers Kassandra and Jayden, and Ronan and Teo, who all have difference experience-levels in dating.

Decider was similarly complimentary and said it 'is unlike any Netflix reality dating show you've seen before, in the best way'.
It also won favour with viewers who are on the spectrum, with one writing: "Love On The Spectrum is such a wonderful show. As someone on the spectrum, it makes me feel not so weird. I'm in good company."
Another said: "Watching Love On The Spectrum on Netflix and loving it. It's people like me on the screen. Speech like mine. Mannerisms like mine. Interests like mine. Topics like mine. Honesty and directness like mine. My people. MY PEOPLE ON SCREEN!!! I absolutely love it."
