At the beginning of the pilot episode of As We See It, the recently released series on Amazon Prime about three autistic flat-mates, we meet Harrison (Albert Rutecki), being encouraged to go outside and walk a single block by his helper, Mandy (Sosie Bacon). “You got this” she enthuses encouragingly, as Harrison, who has significant sensory issues, tries to navigate all the noises and interruptions of a typical urban environment.
Sadly, a barking dog proves too much for Harrison, who makes a hasty retreat, despite Mandy’s earnest appeals via her phone for him to keep going. But no matter, because the viewer already has the clear message that As We See It is all about the journey.
