Netflix's Love on the Spectrum has introduced viewers to a number of memorable personalities, including James B. Jones and Abbey Romeo. Both have captivated audiences with their journeys through life and love, offering insights into the experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum.

James B. Jones: A Tech Enthusiast Finding Love

James B. Jones, a Boston native, has been a fan-favorite since his debut in 2022. Describing himself as a “proud nerd,” James balances his love for outdoor activities with indoor games. Professionally, James works as an onsite support specialist with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in Boston, a position he has held for over five years as of April 2025. His LinkedIn profile highlights his detail-oriented nature, excellent customer service skills, and extensive knowledge of computer components and hardware. James has been in the tech field since 2013, previously working as a PC support specialist and configuration specialist.

In a heartfelt Instagram post on March 30, 2025, James reflected on his personal growth. “This year marks twenty years since I graduated from high school, and I honestly cannot believe that that much time has passed since that time of my life, and so much has changed since then,” he wrote. He expressed pride in his current life, noting his fulfilling job, close friendships, and his role on Love on the Spectrum. While he aspires to own a house, James is content with his achievements.

James has Asperger’s syndrome, a condition that can make social interactions challenging. He acknowledged his past struggles with social skills in his Instagram post, recalling his nervousness in large crowds and unfamiliar situations. Through effort, determination, and support from family, teachers, and psychologists, he significantly improved his ability to interact with others and navigate new environments.

In the realm of love, James found a meaningful connection with Shelley Wolfe in season 3 of Love on the Spectrum. Their online connection blossomed into a relationship. They attended a Renaissance fair in June 2024, and Shelley accompanied James to the season 3 premiere in Los Angeles in April 2025. James expressed his deep affection for Shelley, emphasizing their shared interests and mutual inspiration for personal growth. “I love her very much, since she and I have much in common, but we also bring out the best in each other and inspire each other to grow and improve as people,” James told Netflix’s Tudum in April 2025.

Abbey Romeo: From Textiles to TikTok Sensation

Abbey Romeo, another original cast member of Love on the Spectrum, has also captured hearts. Viewers have watched her journey from singlehood to envisioning a future wedding with her boyfriend, David Isaacman. Abbey’s biography details her educational path, including mainstream schooling until second grade, followed by specialized education and a vocational program where she learned to make textiles. After graduating, she struggled to apply her skills until a retired teacher, Ms. Carol, helped her start a hat-making business.

Since the show’s premiere, Abbey has gained significant popularity on TikTok, amassing 2.1 million followers with her life updates and original music videos. She also launched a website to sell her handmade hats, with her mother, Christine, supporting her entrepreneurial endeavors.

Abbey’s love story with David began at a speed dating event during season 1 of Love on the Spectrum. They bonded over their shared love for lions during a visit to a wildlife learning center. Their relationship has since been marked by adventures, including a memorable trip to Africa where they observed lions in their natural habitat.

In an interview with Tudum on April 7, 2025, Abbey confirmed that her relationship with David remains strong. In the season 3 finale, Abbey serenaded David with an original song titled “Boyfriend Forever,” expressing her deep affection and commitment. “I wrote this song last summer, and I wanted to do a tribute to David, because he is the best boyfriend, and I never want to lose him,” Abbey shared. The couple, approaching their four-year anniversary in the summer of 2025, have planned an overnight getaway at the San Diego Safari Park and are considering trips to Italy or the Bahamas.

While they feel like they are “married from the inside”, Abbey and David are taking their time before officially tying the knot. “We already feel like we’re married from the inside,” Abbey told TODAY.com. “We are not ready to do the real thing yet,” David added.

Both James B. Jones and Abbey Romeo exemplify the diverse experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum, showcasing their personal growth, professional achievements, and pursuit of meaningful relationships.
